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 ,

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

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:

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 !!!!

:lol: was just saying dont like jumpstyle

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

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...
