Musical career edit

The Movement is generally considered a one-hit wonder. Their first single, released on Kahn's L.A.-based Sunshine record label, was "Jump!" in 1992. The record reached number one on Billboard Magazine's Hot Dance Club Play chart.[2] It also reached the top 10 on the magazine's Hot 12" Sales chart, crossed over to pop radio, hitting number 53 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, albeit with a re-working of the chorus ("Jump Motherfucker Jump!" which became "Jump Everybody Jump!"). Kahn signed a deal with Arista Records in New York to distribute the single and the subsequent album, which he also produced.

The song "Jump" included a sample of the hit "Tu Pum Pum" by Panamanian rapper El General, courtesy of New Creations Enterprises.

Kahn continued to produce and release artists on the Sunshine label, including Skee-Lo, whose rap single "I Wish" was hugely successful before jointly re-releasing the single on the Sunshine and Scotti Bros. label, along with Skee-Lo's first album, also produced by Kahn, which was nominated for a Grammy as Best Rap Album.

Vission continues to be a successful producer, remixer and DJ, and he had more dance and Hot 100 hits in 1998 as a member of Pure Sugar.
