Caribou’s new track samples M|A|R|R|S’s 1987 dance hit ‘Pump Up The Volume’

Dan Snaith’s new single ‘Volume’ features a sample of the M|A|R|R|S’ 1997 UK number one hit ‘Pump Up The Volume’.

The song harks back to a formative time when a young Dan Snaith heard the song on the radio, and is part of a yet to be announced album rollout – with recent songs ‘Honey’ and ‘Broke My Heart’ released this year.

“‘Pump up the Volume’ was the first time in my life I heard electronic music – sitting in front of the family stereo system listening to the top 40 countdown on the radio when I was a kid. It completely blew my mind – it sounded like something from another world. It’s stuck with me ever since – I always wanted to rework it in some way. I didn’t consciously think about it when i started working on my track but I think there’s something really nice about having gone right back to the very beginning in making this.”

The Champion remix of Broke My Heart is a winner.
