Jumpin and Pumpin

Jumpin' & Pumpin' (1989–2016) was a prominent British independent record label, part of Passion Music group. Best-known for signing The Future Sound Of London and publishing their earliest works before the seminal duo got a major record deal with Virgin. After the band's debut solo releases, *Accelerator* 12" EP (12 TOT 17) and *Lifeforms* CD/LP/MC (## TOT 2) in 1991, Jumpin' & Pumpin' quickly raised to fame. The second 'Accelerator' single, *Cascade* 12"/CDEP, came out in '94. Other notable early J' & P' releases include Brian Dougans's first EPs and numeros spin-offs by FSOL's Humanoid, Stakker Eurotechno, Smart Systems, Indo Tribe etc.

Since 1993, Jumpin' & Pumpin' focused on "various artists" CD/LP compilations dedicated to specific genres: Goa & psytrance, techno, drum'n'bass and jungle, Happy Hardcore, ambient-house/liquid dub. Only a few odd "solo" releases came out on J' & P' in the late '90s (for instance Unlimited Dream Co).

In 2001, coinciding with FSOL/Amorphous Androgynous "comeback," the duo returned to Jump
