One of the many genres of dance music to emerge in the 90s was progressive house. It's easier to give examples of progressive house tunes than to describe what exactly it is. This is one of those examples.
Bump were Marc Auerbach and Steve Travell. The tune was based around 2 samples. One was from the italo house record "Open Your Mind" by Last Rhythm and the vocal sample was from "Special" by Sir James which has been sampled on several other dance records.
It was released on Good Boy records which was owned by Steve Travell. They had other releases as Bump and other aliases and also had a one off collaboration with Brandon Block as The Housebaliffs.
One of the definitions of progressive house is that it's whatever Sasha and John Digweed play. The discogs page for this record has someone mention they first heard this on a Sasha tape. Good Boy records also has a Sasha and John Digweed mix in it's discography so this is no doubt a part of progressive house history.
