Technotronic is a Belgian electronic music project that played a key role in shaping the sound of late '80s and early '90s dance music. Formed by producer Jo Bogaert (under the alias Thomas De Quincey), Technotronic burst onto the global stage with their 1989 smash hit “Pump Up the Jam.” Blending elements of house, hip-hop, and techno, the track became a massive club and radio success, reaching top chart positions worldwide and helping to bring electronic dance music into the mainstream.

The original vocals on “Pump Up the Jam” were performed by singer and rapper Manuela Kamosi, better known as Ya Kid K, whose energetic delivery became a signature part of the group's sound. However, the song’s initial promotion featured fashion model Felly in the video and artwork, leading to some early confusion over the group’s identity.

Technotronic followed up with other hits like “Get Up! (Before the Night Is Over)” and “Move This,” solidifying their reputation for dancefloor-ready anthems with a streetwise edge. Their sound was defined by deep house beats, catchy hooks, and confident rap vocals, influencing countless acts in the Eurodance and electronic scenes. Today, Technotronic remains a cornerstone of classic dance music and '90s nostalgia.
