Bass Bumpers was founded in 1990 when
Henning Reith and
Caba Kroll released their first production on the Dance Street label. With the titles Can’t Stop Dancing and Get The Big Bass, the Bass Bumpers entered the club scene with a comfortable advance. Their mixture of House and Eurodance was fresh and innovative.
Felicia Uwaje and rapper
Ian Freeman added their vocal talents to the Bass Bumpers sound and the subsequent singles The Music’s Got Me and Move To The Rhythm (1992) pushed them on the top of the club charts everywhere on the globe. A full album was later released (Advance in 1993). The single Runnin was the last in the successful serie of the Bass Bumpers productions to be released in 1993. Uwaje and Freeman left soon after, and many thought the project to be dead and buried.
However, in recent years, the Bass Bumpers have resurfaced and been joined by various other German producers, who together form the Bass Bumpers production team. In 1994
Andreas Litterscheid (AKA
CJ Stone) and Chorn Pin Chang (AKA [A=Akira Yamamoto]) joined the group. In 2002 the team was joined by
Reinhard Raith (AKA
DJ VooDoo) and
Frank Knebel (AKA
Level K), followed by
Massimo Nocito and Sven Koslik in 2003.
They now work on their own projects, as well as for other artists, such as
Angel City and
Despina Vandi. One of their latest commercial hits was the controversial Crazy Frog project.
