Pump Up the Jam (also known as Pump Up the Jam: The Album in North America) is the debut studio album by Belgian dance act Technotronic. It was released on 4 December 1989. The initial album cover and early promotional videos featured a model named Felly, who lip-synched vocals performed by Belgian emcee Ya Kid K. When this was discovered, further videos featured Ya Kid K instead. The album reached number 2 on the UK Albums Chart.[4]
Following the success of the "Move This" single in the US, the album was reissued in 1992 with Ya Kid K on the cover, billed as Technotronic featuring Ya Kid K, with Felly's name removed from the credits in the booklet.
