Bass Bumpers
Biography
Bass Bumpers is a music project founded in 1990 by German producers Henning Reith and Caba Kroll. Their first production was released on the Dance Street label.
Their tracks “Can’t Stop Dancing” and “Get The Big Bass” quickly conquered the club scene thanks to an innovative blend of house and eurodance.
With the addition of singer Felicia Uwaje and rapper Ian Freeman, the sound was enriched, propelling the singles The Music's Got Me and Move To The Rhythm (1992) to the top of club charts worldwide.
The album “Advance” was released in 1993, followed by the single “Runnin” the same year, marking the end of this first series of successes.
After the departure of Felicia Uwaje and Ian Freeman, the project went through a period of inactivity before being revived with the integration of new German producers.
From 1994, Andreas Litterscheid (alias CJ Stone) and Chorn Pin Chang (alias Akira Yamamoto) joined the collective.
In 2002, Reinhard Raith (alias DJ VooDoo) and Frank Knebel (alias Level K) followed, then Massimo Nocito and Sven Koslik in 2003.
This expanded team works on personal productions and collaborates with various artists such as Angel City or Despina Vandi, and also participated in the controversial project Crazy Frog.
The style of Bass Bumpers, often classified as eurodance, hip house, Chicago house, and acid house, thus evolved from an initial duo to an influential production collective in electronic music.
