Kriss Kross


Set the wayback machine to 1992 and you will most likely hear a handful of songs set on infinite repeat on the airwaves. Sir-Mix-A-Lot, TLC, Boys II Men all come to mind, but it was also the year that Chris Kelly (the Mac Daddy) and Chris Smith (the Daddy Mac), collectively know as Kriss Kross, blew up with their hit "Jump."

Since the banger hungry hoardes of 2007/2008 seem to have an insatiable appitite for reworkings of '90s gems, I figured that posting up a few of the better remixes of Jump I've heard so far might get some bodies moving out there...

First up is the 4x4 refix posted up at PalmsOut a little while ago. It has the ever-popular wobbly bass combined with the essential 2-Step shuffle to back it up.

Next is the DLid Customised version. This remix has a crunchy bassline and choppy, distorted house sound.

And finally, for the heads out there, here is the original 1992 version, just in case you like the original recipe better.
