Seduction 'Heartbeat' / Technotronic 'Get Up (Before the Night is Over)'
A cover of Taana Gardner’s 1981 Paradise Garage classic ‘Heartbeat’, the 1990 track by Seduction peaked at number two on the US dance chart. With April Harris on lead vocals, the original disco track is given a 90s revamp, with a bigger beat and keyboard riffs. The following track, ‘Get Up (Before the Night is Over)’, from Technotronic, best know for the classic ‘Pump Up The Jam’ proved to be a true floor-filler at Club MTV. Sampling James Brown’s ‘Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine’, the second single from the band’s debut album told the crowd to ‘Pump it, stomp it, jam, trip on this!’ Some call it corny, some call it naff, but this is a track reminiscent of the early 90s and the booming dance music culture that ran alongside a sense of freedom found by the dance and rave generation.
