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 to 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.

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).
