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

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.

[dj vorny]

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

........ :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 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...
