My extensive look at where jump up music came from, starting in 1994/1995 with the pioneers like DJ SS, Zinc, DJ Rap etc, moving through the years from Zen and Twisted Individual to Hazard and Clipz, Original Sin and Taxman and hopefully into the 2010's DJ Guv, Majistrate and more.

Hope you enjoy the ride!

After 18 months I finally got round to mixing volume 5 of my Jump Up Chronicles mix, covering the amazing 2005 - 2006 era! 

By 2005 Hazard had cemented himself as the hottest D&B producer around and artists like Clipz, TC, Simon Bassline Smith & Drumsound and many more were firing out jump up material played by everyone from Pendulum to Bryan Gee to Andy C to Nicky Blackmarket to Bailey. Much to the disgust of the purists, jump up was going nowhere.

Check out volumes 1-4 here - https://soundcloud.com/thedjthumpa/sets/thumpa-the-jump-up-chronicles

Tracklist soon...

Thumpa - The Jump Up Chronicles Vol 5 (2005 - 2006)

Diving straight into one of my favourite eras, the 2007/8 period! By this time jump up was everywhere, Taxman and Original Sin were firing out anthems monthly, Hazard released the HUGE Machete Bass EP, TC's 'Evolution' became the album of the year and Modified Motion, Connecta and Heist were dropping high pitched bassline wobblers all over the gaff. Love it or hate it...this is jump up baby!

Entering very aggy territory with volume 8! 2011 - 2012 was a time of massive change in jump up as the tunes got harder and higher pitched. Lots of massive tracks here from big names like Pleasure, Jaydan, Majistrate, Heist, Serum and more. Coming up the ranks were names like DJ Guv, Konichi, Dominator and others...the new wave of jump up had arrived and it was fucking angry...
