Jackin' House partisans, convince a skeptic

^ I'll give You Want Me a listen in a bit (got the radio on just now).
I think the main thing that's holding me back with this genre is something like... there's been a few tunes I've heard that I've liked a lot (mostly ones posted on that 'Certified Jacking' youtube channel), but they've seemed like 'exceptions to the rule' kind of tunes, and I don't like being in that kind of relation with a genre. Part of why I fell so hard for funky is that at its peak (for me) I could love the whole breadth of vibes right across the scene. But there's been tonnes of Jackin' tunes that people have showed me and I've just felt like 'nah that's naff' and a lot of them as far as I know are fairly representative of where the sound is at right now.
I'm aware this all sounds like hand-wringing.
(xpost to Tim)

I think Hannam is signed to Hot Creations now?

also "you want me" just fades out randomly? i assume that's not how it's meant to be but don't give me that incomplete shit to listen to thanks very much

I didn't see this?

but also in truth I'm not much of a MA1 fan...

it was the dva remix which i thought just sounded surprisingly like a good ny tribal / deep house track, ditto most stuff i like on roska kicks snares

dissensus thread is awesome

like we have all these big name producers with no sense of a sound, no scenius, all their releases such a big deal, and none of that hardcore vibe of producers just putting out fuck loads of tunes that just do the business on the dance floor

imagining it this voice

eet hazza no scene-e-us!

vahid in that case there are about 20 billion sunday roast productions waiting for you.

oh nice

are they any good or are they like 20 billion jamie jones associates

in case there's any confusion i mean "i'm leaving" which basically sounds like a slightly more afrocaribbean ("africanism?") version of the nuyorican soul thing

i always pitch it way up too, if anything it's too laid-back and straight

are they any good or are they like 20 billion jamie jones associates

some are good but it gets pretty wearying.

I've only started listening to some of this, there seems to be a love of sampling really super recognizable vocals & wacky clips from movies.

so this is basically moombahton at a faster tempo?

i would send you a link tim but of course like jamie jones associates and sunday roast productions there are 20 billion online mixes to listen to and some are good but it gets pretty wearying

having said that it's in the first mix / newest mix here but i don't think you'll care much for it because it's not about scenius it's about my imaginary world where everything is one big detroit continuum

also it has nothing to do w/ the proper "jackin house" on this thread

I will check it!

thanks i'm curious about how it comes off ... it's kind of a classicist frankendance i guess, "good taste" at a remove of anywhere from 1k to 5k miles from the source

Meanwhile here's some jackin' house:

i just love "away we go" so much. hypnotising

THERE'S MORE TO ME THAN THE EYES CAN SEE
I AM THE LOCK, THE HANDLE AND KEY
FOR THE DOOR THAT'S HINGED ON ETERNITY

After having the owl/ufo bass from 'You Want Me' running in my head for two days straight, I have to say Jackin is growing on me. I think the electro part turned me off initially, but the skippy beats, warpy owl bass, cheeky/cheesy samples, and blatant drugginess on some of these tracks is winning me over.

I think I like about half of those youtubes. Was vibing quite a bit to Away We Go earlier. A lot of the tunes I like sound a bit like slightly slower, slightly straighter equivalents to the garagey bits DJ Q plays. A lot of this stuff has an enjoyable effortless sort of feel to it. Might try and post more coherent thoughts later, but yeah I'm coming round to it a bit.

Also off-topic but TLG I enjoyed your mix (and other ones that you've posted in the Mixes For Download thread).

thanks andy!

Seriously who the hell came up with the name? There's only one kind of jackin house. It's from Chicago and it existed two decades ago. And by jackin they really meant JACKIN. I don't hear any jack here.

r|t|c where are yooooooouuuuu?

http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-colbert.gif

oh wait hold up though

i do have something... just for sir

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr-UBN2bc-U

i know how you feel rob about the word "jackin", i feel the same way when i see the word "yansh"

the owl/ufo bass

is it jackin?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGKZ2ZmIFNE

that's really funny because i was going to make the point that some of this stuff is starting to sound more like plump djs than moombahton

not that moombahton doesn't already sound like plump djs or freestylers or whatever

jamie duggan CHOOOOOOOON

ok i get it, this just sounds like a mersh version of stuff i already really like (old classic records, well rounded, julio bashmore, etc) w/ added bassline emphasis

my initial reaction is that this IS kind of like the same sort of blend i'm going for right now, but when the bassline is not interesting or the vocalist is not charismatic it is neither more nor less boring than when the same thing happens in yr average carl craig track

also that it's waaaaaay too slow

like in the carl flanagan track, it reminds me of this documentary or something i saw about "style" as applied to battle dancing (i don't know if it was about locking and popping or voguing or soul dance or what) and somebody was like "sometimes you watch someone dance and you wonder if they imagine what it's like for other people to look at them or if they don't give a shit about style"

that's how the "epic build" and "off-key-ness" of carl flanagan makes me feel, an undeserved victory lap around the fruity loops manual

if its LFO owls you want, that'd be Nick hannam's 'Homeless' or Cause & Affect's 'Don't like to do that' - not 'You want me' as astrochimp said

As with funky it's often played pitched up - though on some records (e.g. "You Want Me") the original speed works better in my opinion.

or like why would anyone prefer a francois track to an actual utah saints track is beyond me

yeah i guess tbf i play half my things at +8

i'm not kidding that francois track about the morning light sounds to me like a nu skool breaks remix of a utah saints track

ill phil gets the gun finger

^^ give us an emoticon for this r|t|c

mc sims gets five mics and first game on the xbox for the rest of the night

The main reason I posted the Flanagan is I'm pretty sure the singer is Farah of "Kiss Me There" fame.

is the logo supposed to represent some sort of street food? like a big sausage in a taco-shell shaped piece of kebab bread?

i mean the certified jackin one not the jack daniels one

is it jackin?

set me off on a reminisce... never realised this formative set's been lying around on youtube all this time since like a week after transmission

tlist attempt here! SUMMER JAMS 2012

lol damn we FLAMED that thread though B)

don't know why it's labelled as a 2016 reboot since afaict it's identical to the version that first came out a few years ago but whatever, "Babycop" is classic whack-on-a-few-random-acapellas-lying-on-the-desktop jackin, been also enjoying this surprise 2016 addition to that particular canon:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJpLbq_2fho

tlist attempt here! SUMMER JAMS 2012

?? teddy riley ft tammy lucas - is it good to you

couldn't find any official confirmation but according to dodgy russian sites this one's Cause & Affect - Makin Love

ooh yeah that is alright. been meaning to have a think about 3000 bass, turning into a unexpectedly decent post-everything locus thing (see paleface now has some good bits on there)

"classic whack-on-a-few-random-acapellas-lying-on-the-desktop jackin" is true indeed but as we all know classic jackin also means anything-but-lazy casual savant genius production masterclass, which this is. even itself being called 'babycop' tbh! 1+1 to reference a third, ladycop, son of

i'm sure we could easily fill out the ids for all of that set now. was uncharted territory at the time!

give it a couple years. tross mi daddi

holding a month at ~25 in the charts now

back in sept (and with 'darlin' before) i couldnt see what target & danny weed saw in rereleasing, i mean the tune remains forever a marvel but the context seemed long gone. i know better now - it was always a hidden jackin nation, never just yorks and mids - look at that towie/geordie shore video. over the last few months i've become addicted to this:

Real England

which blends a certain strain of current top 40 (analogous to kiss fresh daytime) with pure distilled wite flite banter, geezers all called dean raised on big chunky sugary sweet tooth pop garage breakbeat and 2step. this is a proper regulated fm dial station that plays richie dan 'call it fate', deetah 'relax (b&f mix)', blowfelt 'back up back up' at 2 in the afternoon

(it is also producing nothing whatsoever in terms of interesting new music but just anthropologically it's a rush)

just realised last night that lorenzo has an album out now. it is good

it is not good come on m8

apart from maybe b-grade grizzle 'come down' u will never want to hear any of it again

well my first listen was last night when I bunged all the tracks into vdj, notched up the tempo and mixed through them, so that probably helped. i generally don't listen to these sort of things as albums anyway, just collections of tracks to dj with. the only one i actively disliked was 'we are', 'sleep talk' seemed like a highlight.

faint praise I know...

it's a house album, of course it's completely inessential

https://soundcloud.com/skippit/skippit-the-art-of-digging

mad ting or wot. d double and steinski!!!!!

skippit is a mosh-bass-grime etc producer from southampton who i might have characterised as a delinquent younger sibling to royal-t - iirc he came to brief prominence late '14 with a whirring monster re-edit of flava d's 'in the dance' and for the most part has carried on in that marginal bootleg vein since

dj shadow interview samples and dusty breaks are the super extreme outlier obv but it's interesting to think of og jackin's morbidly amused chuck-it-in magpie restlessness resurfacing in whatever this current yoof scene is

https://bossmischief.bandcamp.com/album/refix-champion

cf like this guy and his nutty edits too

tc4 unforgettably flinging this one into their i-d mix last year

This was good too.

Only the most tenuous ring-filtery connection to jackin tho really.

get on that socially isolated floor and shake your tailfeather to this one, super good stuff

https://www.mixcloud.com/DutchRobinson/collective-housing-04-collaborative-mix-w-rick-van-der-voorn/

nice

just as an NB jclc, the 'jacking house' in that mix is the old-school chicago-style definition. this thread is about the birmingham, UK centred style of housey bass-driven garage with big nasty ring-filter sounds on the bassline

one of those extremely confusing bits of nomenclature, like the two quite different genres 'afrobeat' and 'afrobeats'

I regret posting US jacking house to the UK jacking house thread! still, a great mix

it is!! no apologies NO SORRY ALLOWED ON THIS BOARD DAMMIT

reminds me of some good nights at frank's lounge in brooklyn

is birmingham jacking house related at all to birmingham techno (surgeon regis etc) or are we talking just completely different eras / scenes?
