Talk:Jump-up (genre)

this article is pretty crap.. someone who listens to jump up should go through it and rewrite it and clear out all of the "key artists" who aren't key --Frantik (talk) 20:51, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Altered 13 Apr 2010 but still needs the "key artists" weeded out.

I think it should be mentioned that "clownstep" is another, although normally deragatory, name for this genre. Mason092 (talk) 16:36, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Article
First off all jump up drum and bass was not popular in the mid 1990's because jump up didnt even exist in theory... Jump up didnt get classified as a sub genre until the early 2000's. Also the vast majority of jump up tracks DONT break into an amen break so not quite sure why this is mentioned on this page. Reading through this article next it mentions jump up being exclusivley applied to records in 1994. In 1994 drum and bass didnt even exist let alone develop sub-genres. I agree with the next statement about krusts track warhead. This track was a defining jump up dnb anthem although it wasnt recognised as such at the time as jump up wasnt recognised as a seperate entity. Amens get mentioned again here... not sure why. Also id like to mention at this point that the term jump-up-jungle is a load of nonsence.

** DIRECT QUOTE** In the late 2000s, newer tunes with a light-hearted feel have been increasingly been referred to as Jump Up. As I remember it in the late 2000'ns newer tracks that were being produced by artists such as twisted individual (cant believe that guy wasnt mentioned in this 'informative' piece of literature about jump up dnb) were never refered to as light hearted.

** DIRECT QUOTE** The True Playaz label has had a huge impact on the genre with artists releasing well known tracks within the community such as, Mr Happy (DJ Hazard) and Dodge City (Sub Zero) I agree with this paticular section of the write up.

In the next paragraph they mention the term 'wobble' .... ;)

In the paragraph after they mention wobble they highlight the word 'warmth' And suggest that the era of jungle drum and bass was known for this... ERM ...

** DIRECT QUOTE** Additionally, Jump Up is a clean beat not similar to the popular amen and Apache drum loops Correct me if im wrong but previously in this dis-educated bunch of non thought of words did wikipedia not assosiate jump-up with the amen break.

** DIRECT QUOTE** On a social level within the drum'n'bass community, it is also very popular in certain clubs and raves such as Fabric in London hahahahahahahahahaha not sure I would personally assosiate fabric with jump up. Try stratford rex / bagleys / the lighthouse / area / hidden e.t.c

All in all I would like to express my disgust in this apparent representation of jump up drum and bass. I would like to advise anyone anyone wishing to educate themselves further in this mater to disregard all the words on this article and to take there curiosity elswhere such as you tube (search 'twisted individual' / roni size e.t.c (for the earlier stuff) sly / majistrate / logan d (for the latest banginhoffs)

I hope my input will be of use to you all...

** VIVA LA JUMP UP**

Returned to stub
The entire article was nothing but uncited assertions from random people about what this genre is and who makes it - in short, a mess. It was tagged as needing sources five years ago.

It was a magnet for opinion and almost worse than having no article at all, so consequently I've wiped the lot. It's now a one-sentence stub. With a citation needed tag. It needs to be built up from scratch with material cited from reliable sources. If those can't be found, serious consideration should be given to replacing it with a redirect to a section of drum and bass. — Hex    (❝  ?!  ❞)   11:24, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Is that what jump-up is?
I'm not that familiar with jump-up regrettably, but the jump-up I've heard on soundcloud is not the way it's described in this article. It might be more accurate to say that it's a more danceable form of drum and bass. A comment for future reference if anybody is considering a rewrite. Lighthead  þ 23:19, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
