Technotronic - Pump Up The Jam

Well what can I say? Where does one start? This was the first of many Americans' exposure to techno music. It may have been the first techno song I ever heard. This is still a pretty groovy track and despite trying to hate it when first issued, it grew on me over the ensuing years. It's not quite pure house and not pure techno but a pleasant mix of the two possibly making for the very first "tech-house" release ever, though I HATE subdividing genres! Is it house or is it acid? Make up your minds! OK, there is acid-house, but that makes more sense than "garage house" and "tech-step", etc... What the HELL are those? Anyway, this is a first in many ways and deserves a place in techno history. I bought it locally for two bucks, that's the way it should be! I usually say check it out, but chances are very good you've heard this one a thousand times!
