“Pump Up The Volume” by M/A/R/R/S

Few artists embody the term "one-hit wonder" more than M/A/R/R/S, a collective that only recorded two songs but forever changed music history with "Pump Up the Volume." This sample-heavy track may seem unremarkable in modern times, but in the late '80s, it was groundbreaking—pushing the boundaries of sampling, shaping house music, and earning a Grammy nomination along the way. In this episode, we dive into the song’s impact and the legal controversies that surrounded its release.
