The Movement was a techno ensemble originating from Los Angeles, California, composed of AJ Mora, who was born in Costa Rica, Canadian-born Richard "Humpty" Vission, and DJ Hazze. Their period of activity spanned from 1992 until 1994.

Musical career

Known mainly as a one-hit wonder, The Movement gained prominence with their initial release, "Jump!" in 1992 under Kahn's Sunshine label based in L.A. This track ascended to the top position on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. Additionally, it secured a spot within the top 10 on the Hot 12" Sales chart and reached number 53 on the Billboard Hot 100 after the chorus was altered to enhance its radio friendliness. Kahn obtained a distribution agreement with Arista Records for both this single and the group's album, which he produced.

The song "Jump!" incorporated a sample from "Tu Pum Pum," a hit by Panamanian rapper El General, authorized via New Creations Enterprises.

Following this, Kahn continued his production work on Sunshine Records, notably collaborating with Skee-Lo, whose track "I Wish" became highly successful and was jointly released with Scotti Bros. Kahn also produced Skee-Lo's debut album, which received a Grammy nomination.

Richard Vission has maintained an active career as a producer, remixer, and DJ, achieving additional dance chart and Hot 100 successes in 1998 as part of the group Pure Sugar.
