- Jump Up is also the name of a record company that released hard drum and bass records from 1996-1997.
Jump Up is a subgenre of drum and bass that is was originally popular in the late 1990s. Tunes typically were light-hearted, featuring hip hop samples and loud melodic basslines. These tunes were said the make the crowd "jump up" and dance. In the late 2000s, newer tunes with a light-hearted feel have been increasingly been referred to as Jump Up.
[edit] History
It is usually characterized by basslines that have a filter shaping LFO on them which gives the bass a ‘wobble’ sound accompanied by uptempo drum loops.
Most frequently in modern Jump-Up, an element of highly energetic ‘stabs’ are often heard. Jump-Up is closely related to the more popular 1996-1997 era of jungle-drum and bass, known for its 'warmth’ through beat and melody syncopation and simpler heavy basslines (as opposed to the lighter, more distorted basslines of the precise-sounding techier styles of Neurofunk & Techstep coming out around this time).
Older examples include DJ Zinc's ‘Super Sharp Shooter’ or his remix of the Fugees’ ‘Ready Or Not’ (known at the time as Fugees or Not), which also samples Redman on the original version of his first collaboration with Method Man, ‘How High’. Extensive use of hiphop samples was common in jump-up in the late 90’s.
Additionally Jump Up is a clean beat not similar to the popular amen and apache drum loops. Jump up is easy to distinguish from its other jungle and DnB styles due to its simplicity, 3 tier basslines (high, mid, low) that provide the thick and clean baselines so commonly associated with Jump Up, and Simple KickXXXSnareXXXXXKickXSnareXXX Pattern. Drum rolls are often long and composed mostly of kicks and often have some effect like flange thrown over them.
On a social level within the Drum N Bass community. Jump up is primarily made up of wobble sounds and robot like noises. Jump Up is also very popular in certain clubs and raves such as Fabric in London where Hazard,Intelligent Delinquent,Original Sin and other popular jump up artists are regular DJs.
