Jumpin' & 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, Papua New Guinea 12" EP (12 TOT 17) and Accelerator CD/LP/MC (## TOT 2) in 1991, Jumpin' & Pumpin' quickly raised to fame. (The second 'Accelerator' single, Expander 12"/CDEP, came out in '94). Other notable early J' & P' releases include Genaside II's first EPs and numeros spin-offs by FSOL's Brian Dougans and Garry Cobain, such as Humanoid, Mental Cube, Indo Tribe, Smart Systems, Yage, 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 Jumpin' & Pumpin' with Papua New Guinea 2001 12"/CD, Accelerator 2xCD "expanded" reissue, and a brand-new "redux" album: Papua New Guinea Translations CD/2xLP. Following fsoldigital.com's launch in 2007, Jumpin' & Pumpin' produced a few more represses and unreleased collections by FSOL and Humanoid. Since 2009, however, those included only limited-edition, deluxe packages, such as Record Store Day exclusives. Jumpin' & Pumpin' appears defunct after 2016. The Future Sound Of London has continued using ## TOT ## catalog numbers since then.
