Pump Up the Volume

Written by Martyn Young and Steve Young, this was the only single by British recording act M|A|R|R|S, resulting from a collaboration between electronic group Colourbox and dream pop band A.R. Kane on the 4AD label. The song, which derives its title from a lyrical sample from Eric B. & Rakim's "I Know You Got Soul", became a number-one hit in several countries and is regarded as a significant milestone in the development of British house music and music sampling.
