Jumpstyle....?!!!

[Louk]

Hello There

Right...I'll be honest...I know that I'm an opinionated soul, but I get sent loads of this style of music to review and I have to say It's the biggest load of shit I have heard and now a lot of my favourite Hardstyle labels such as Dance Pollution, Imp Music etc are putting out this kind of crap as remixes. I'm worried that this style is popular abroad meaning loads of labels will release this crap.

Seriously, the kicks on these tunes are piss weak and the most basic kick you can find in a program like Impulse Tracker or even Octamed sounds harder. There is a distinct lack of melody and I am sick to death of the sheer lack of quality in production when lots of my stuff and talented other producers stuff isnt coming out

I'll give you an example of what i class as utter shit

I hope im not ****ed for thinking these are piss poor pieces of crap that shouldnt have entered an already over saturated market. Mark, Voorheez, Corbzy, K-Front, Hakka etc what are your thoughts?

These labels are all capable of producing quality and have just i hope this isnt a turn of events for the worse

My opinion anyway

Rant over....

this style has been popular in holland for ages, i think its the style gizmo and Darkraver play (not sure though).
Its deffo not my kinda style and a lot of it seems like its just been threw together.

[Bacchus]

Those are some POOR examples.


There are man jumpstyle and jumpstyle influenced tracks that have much more energy too them.


The DJ Jorn release on QDANCE for example. Even a few of the Groucho releases like "Solar Phase" are *very* well produced.

just like every genre, you'll find shite. But just cuz all you've found is shite, it does'nt mean it's all shite. You just got to dig deeper.

Heard a Dark Raver mix recently it did nothing for me. Almost Doomcore with a hint of cheese.

i have heard a lot of jump style and think its good, u have just picked poor examples of the style.

i have heard sum rubbish jump style, but there r a lot of tunes that r good.

but there u go, thas just my opinion

[MARKEG]

i remember back when bonzai started the 'bonzai jumps' label in the mid 90's and i became aware of what the 'jump' sounds was. this new jump stuff is just the same ethos to me but produced even worse. i wont be buying it.

[lulu]

sum of the junp style i have heard i like it, its a bit funky, prob wudnt listen to it when im out. but i like it

[Funtime Franky]

i have only heared a few tracks, they were ok but i wouldnt like to hear them out in a club.

[ben miles]

Ive got to say im full into my hardstyle but have heard a couple of good jumpstyle mixes by Chicago Zone and Dj Furax they are good quality but most of the other producers release shite.

[Yoshimitsu]

from wot ive heard i h8 this style :dontevengothere:

[Voorheez]

It's not really my sort of thing, but some tracks have been exeptions to that. My view is just leave it be if you don't like it, it obviously has a market in Europe, Belgium in particular I believe, so no real need for us to judge it.

[piginabush]

For me.... its like Hardstyle but without the kicks.... you are forever thinking "its gonna kick in in a minute" but it never does...

[DJCraig Ryan]

Every tune i have heard within "Jumpstyle" has been simply awful!

[DJ Corbzy]

Another bloody style... :roll:

[Yoshimitsu]

For me.... its like Hardstyle but without the kicks.... you are forever thinking "its gonna kick in in a minute" but it never does...

explains it nicely :clap:

[Ben C]

dont like it, its headburstin repetitive nonsense. all the tunes sound exactly the same stupid bass note and hollow kick..its shite.

[lulu]

Hi Louk... think I mentioned this genre before on this thread... has my comments in there.

I find most jump style just no where near enough what I like.
