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...
