Bass Bumpers are a German DJ and record production team, known for their Eurodance/techno music.[1] They are originally from Germany, with members Henning Reith, Caba Kroll, CJ Stone, George Dee, Akira Yamamoto, and Reinhard "DJ Voodoo" Raith. They produced their own hits such as "Good Fun", "The Music's Got Me" (a number 36 hit on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart in 1992), "Move to the Rhythm" and "Rhythm Is a Dancer 2003" with Snap!. Perhaps their biggest success was when they co-produced Crazy Frog's remake of the popular hit "Axel F", which peaked at number one in the UK on 31 May 2005.[citation needed]
