JUMPSTYLE: What is it exactly?

[Si the Sigh]

Can someone in the Hardstyle forum explain what Jumpstyle is please! I gather that its the bastard offspring of Hardstyle...

[DJTrubass]

i would say,

tunes that have a jumpy bassline, and are generally more happy

eg sexbusters - tuneboy?

not sure tho

[K Front]

Oh dear god.

[Nath]

listen to a Vortex Set of recent times

Nuff Said

[Yoshimitsu]

i



eg sexbusters - tuneboy?



I would definitely call that tune hardstyle tbh. Jumpstyle is hardstyle without the hard from wot ive heard. IMO its pants

[The Juvenile]

jumpstyle is like a weak hardcore kick drum and a a dingy synth, some is ok, but most of it is sh*t

[Louk]

you just stand there waiting ages and ages for it to kick in and when it doesnt it leaves you with a feeling of emptiness. I can't imagine listening to more than 15 mins of the stuff personally without getting ratty and demanding some techno/hard trance be put on.

[Louk]

to give you an example si check out Babaorum records from france.

indeed. i realy cant see wot there is to like about it :neutral:

[dj vorny]

jumpstyle sounds like a hardstyle track but with only halve the eliments :neutral: infact its all the bad eliments of hardstyle :shock: :lol:

[ScuL]

........ :o :o :o

Jumpstyle has been around longer than hardstyle as it came from French Techno.
It's more a kind of soft and slow hardcore with very simple melodies.

folks i have to disagree with the majority of you as i have grown to like JUMPSTYLE.... each to their own, i find it hard to believe that you think it has no bass & kicks maybe you arent listening to decent stuff :roll: similar things have been said about certain hardstyle productions in the past!

As for nath what was wrong with the vortex set you heard??? i have heard vortex play jumpstyle live a few times & tbh the crowd have loved it. It doesnt matter what style a dj plays your always gonna have at least one person moaning about it :doh: its each to their own i suppose!

maybe you really need to ask a jumpstyle dj to describe jumpstyle si as it wont get a fair desription from some ppl by the looks of it!!

if you remember 3/4 yrs ago comments like this were what ppl were saying about HARDSTYLE! ;) look at hardstyle now !!!

[WEZ]

as louk said , it starts it seems to build up to a drop then just carry on going , very very boring , nearly dozed off at slammin when andy was playing it , i think i did actually cuz i went to sit down , wunt you mcing to andys set si ?

[northevents]

If you are talkin about slammin nye I'm hardly surprised.. the sound was so quiet everything sounded pretty aweful to be honest.. most jump style stuff is based around hard kicks that's why I like it but if you can't hear the bass cos the systems a load of junk then you are scuppered..& half of what I played nye was hardstyle anyway...
there are numerous influences in jumpstyle some is very techy with monotone kicks the babaorum stuff is pretty simple & usually pretty montone. you just have to find the decent stuff... I would certainly avoid almost all jump stuff made by hardstyle producers eg tuneboy as mentioned by someone as they are pretty much bandwagon jumpers...as someone pointed out jumpstyle has been around for 10 years in northern france & belgium... so can hardly be classed as the "b8stard offspring" of hardstyle..if you've listened to as much jump stuff as I have over the last couple of years you would realise that like ALL music there is some dire stuff & some great stuff.. you just have to search alittle further than the end of your nose to find it... it's taken a while but crowds are certainly taking to jumpstyle more & more in the uk over recent months..it'll be interesting seeing the comments ppl are making in 12 months time...

[Louk]

cool fair play

[northevents]

sorry about the old profile waiting for a new sign in name for the forum...obviously there aren't north events at lakota 1st sat of the month...
sorry to confuse..

[WEZ]

yeah was bummed liek everyone was when they turn it down , made most of the djs sound poop , but did a good job keeping the spirits up.

i just find jumpstyle another thorn in the side finding good vinyl online , cuz they put it in the section of hardstyle most of the time , doubles up teh amount of tunes ya gotta listen to , i admit some of the melodies are catchy , just dont float my boat ,

only an opinion ,

[Si the Sigh]

most jump style stuff is based around hard kicks

So is a label like 59 Records hardstyle or jumpstyle? This is where I am confused. Early 59 Records were classed as hardstyle, yet the early releases are, as you say, all about the kicks and not the base. So has this 'jumpstyle' been around for a while?

See I can't find jack shit on the net here thats anything like what you played on Saturday. There's a few you played & have played that I really liked. But some is a bit to dark for my liking.

This jumpstyle, although sounding from the name that it should be bouncy (IMO) I find quite dark and moody...

Id say 59 records is hardstyle.. Its just simple, industrial sounding hardstyle i suppose :eh:

[WEZ]

[quote=northevents]most jump style stuff is based around hard kicks

yeah 1 big punch beat , with a slight hint of hardcorey blended in , squeeky catchy melody , usual drums , catchy vocal

[northevents]

some stuff is dark & moody some a lot lighter more catchy.....
I played a lot of darker harder stuff on sat at lakota cos of playing after hardcore djs..
I would say 59 would fit into the hardstyle category but then I'd say a lot of early stik stuff & some early clockwork stuff was hardstyle & surely seeing as hardstyle only seems to have existed for the "pioneers" for 3 or 4 years or at least since mixmag decided to write about it...then tunes from 96 & 97 couldn't possibly be hardstyle... haha
all these pidgeon holes are total commercial nonsense anyway purely designed to BRAND items to increase sales it's a money grabbers marketing ploy simple as..

[Si the Sigh]

Ah! The Mixmag hardstyle article... :lol:

[ADDI]

was that the

HARDSTYLE THE BASTARD CHILD OF HARDCORE article????

[northevents]

that'll be the baby

[ADDI]

hahah i remember the one :roll:

anyway i'll have 1 set of hardstyles finest bastard child in may please!! :twisted:

[capone13]

Jumpstyle has been around for years. This is a wee clip of a Jumpstyle choon (Just released):

[Si the Sigh]

Whats that tune? Thats ok...

[ADDI]

si if you listen to decent jumpstyle on a ****ing kicking system it sounds really good! imo

[Si the Sigh]

Mate, country and western sounds phat on a good rig! ;) :lol:

[ADDI]

lmao i wouldnt go that bloody far, but you have to give jumpstyle an opportunity other than on pc speakers!! ;)

[Si the Sigh]

ha ha! I'm rippin' ya mate. I'm up for giving anything a listen to. This thread isn't a diss towards jumpstyle, I just want to know what the deal is with it & where it came from. Trying to find out a bit more about it. Like I said, it seems like hardstyle. Some bits sound ok & there seems to be a lot of crap as well.

[WEZ]

as louk said , it starts it seems to build up to a drop then just carry on going , very very boring , nearly dozed off at slammin when andy was playing it , i think i did actually cuz i went to sit down , wunt you mcing to andys set si ?

after reading that again , sounded like i was ripping andy !!!! :shock:

:lol: was just saying dont like jumpstyle

didnt mean to say you was a boring fart andy m8 , sowwwwyyyyy

:doh: wez climbs back in cuboard with his ready brek !

[northevents]

NEVER THOUGHT YOU WAS FELLA... & as I said I played about 4 tracks that were jump new years the rest was either hard style, hard trance & the odd techno tune... the system made prod & scorps set sound like it had a load of weak kicks in so I had no chance really... I spent about 2 hrs that night arguing with the council guy who kept turning the sytem down... It's soul destroying when you have to play on pants systems esp nye...

[Si the Sigh]

Yea, that sucked NYE when we had to turn it down... :cry:

Scorps & Producer played a blinder as well. Best tape on the techno & trance pack IMO...

phew , yeah was gutting but had as good a time as we could of eh.

how the hell can someone be that proud of there job !

" yes hello im from the council , my wife and family are at home , and im standinghere in front of 1000's people lovin it at the end of a year telling them to turn there systems down , i love my job , soooooo satisfactory "

:evil:

[Toxic]

Due to what Jumpstyle is, to me it seems necessary for the system to be top notch.

At Inqontrol jocks were mixing it in with hardstyle and the tunes sounded very very good, eg the Cranberry's rip that Luna plays, could be classed as cheesy but my god the kicks in it were so powerful over that system that you couldn't help but be effected by it.

As for the system on NYE, yeah that was pants, ****ing council. As i've suggested before get that room that Dreamscape used for the techno room in the last event they did there in summer 98, that was one of the best nights of my life :love:

sorry about this comment, that's pretty rubbish from me.

I just don't like jump style. It's very empty and has no drive for me.
