Standards of value in electronic music are truly diverse: some people find appeal and worth in unpredictable, avant‑garde structures, while others simply care about the quality of the sound itself.

The latter group, in particular, includes the well-known community of “bassheads.” This track, Up Down Jumper, is a house tune I’d recommend to those bass aficionados.

When you hear “bass-heavy house,” you might think of deep house, but that’s not the case here—it’s house where the drop is simply heavy, and that’s the defining feature.
