i should not post so fast

it reminds me of how early "space disco" tracks (90s idjuts, paper recordings, etc) just sounded like tech house at that time (blending in w/ stuff like DiY)

the late great, Saturday, 4 August 2012 23:22 (eleven years ago) link

makes even those tracks feel very different

what's interesting to me is that as a sheltered listener that's pretty much how those tracks "feel" to me, it doesn't sound like an incongruous transition or trick to me anymore than playing blake baxter with derrick may or eon with moodymann

the late great, Saturday, 4 August 2012 23:26 (eleven years ago) link

yeah that's kinda my point!

Tim F, Sunday, 5 August 2012 00:09 (eleven years ago) link

But have you heard many of the 'classic' funky sets?

Tim F, Sunday, 5 August 2012 00:10 (eleven years ago) link

no it's hard to know where to start w/ 1000 new posts and no handy clearance bin

the late great, Sunday, 5 August 2012 00:16 (eleven years ago) link

I will attend to this.

i like jme a lot

the late great, Monday, 6 August 2012 18:37 (eleven years ago) link

have
you
even
heard
the 2x marcus nasty jackin mixes linked on the summer jams thread?

r|t|c, Monday, 6 August 2012 20:03 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah as per usual the best way by a mile to get into this stuff is through mixes.

Tim F, Monday, 6 August 2012 20:52 (eleven years ago) link

no only the commercial rinse one which went over my head (ps you all said it was not so good?)

the late great, Monday, 6 August 2012 22:35 (eleven years ago) link

Do you mean his 2010 Rinse CD? That's uk funky not jackin' house.

I thought it was very good but the absence of MCs means it's not as amazing as his best radio sets from 2008 - 2011 era.

Marcus now plays some jackin' house sets which is what r|t|c is referring to.

Tim F, Tuesday, 7 August 2012 04:18 (eleven years ago) link

Has Jack Daniels seen those graphics yet?

Are there any good Jackin mixes out there other than those two Marcus Nasty ones?

Tune!

Dene Antony - A Feeling (Joe Barnes Bootleg)

MikoMcha, Monday, 10 September 2012 16:36 (eleven years ago) link

Okay how do I download this mix.

Tim F, Monday, 10 September 2012 21:15 (eleven years ago) link

right click?

just sayin, Monday, 10 September 2012 21:19 (eleven years ago) link

Excellent!

Is there an obvious way to create that link from the soundcloud page that I'm missing?

Tim F, Monday, 10 September 2012 21:33 (eleven years ago) link

view source, a do a find for

streamUrl":"http://media.soundcloud.com/stream/

then copy and paste everything inside the double quotes starting with http://media.soundcloud.com/stream/

in this case that's http://media.soundcloud.com/stream/iMHd65pdtNPy?stream_token=ktNzd

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 17 October 2012 12:31 (eleven years ago) link

i don't even know if that's proper "jackin" or what but i like it

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 17 October 2012 12:42 (eleven years ago) link

Would love to see a Jackin' Refix of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Kiss"

...also there was an amazing snippet of a Jamie Oliver track ("Doin' Time") floating around on a random club vid posted on Dissensus. Pretty sure it snatched its vocals from a Sublime song.

I'm starting to like this stuff almost as much as I did Funky back in the early days.

From a recent Hannah Wants mix:

MikoMcha, Thursday, 6 June 2013 07:37 (ten years ago) link

there's a sequel/remix to that now which is even better and weirder... in true jackin style they called it "dorothy's armpit"

r|t|c, Thursday, 6 June 2013 11:21 (ten years ago) link

Must hear it, that track is amazing, darkside vibes. Chris Lorenzo is some kind of genius.

MikoMcha, Thursday, 6 June 2013 11:50 (ten years ago) link

ya it's on one of the recent 2:31 rinse sets but i forget which unfortunately

r|t|c, Thursday, 6 June 2013 11:51 (ten years ago) link

22nd of May is Lorenzo and Shorterz, I'll try that.

MikoMcha, Thursday, 6 June 2013 11:56 (ten years ago) link

wait got it now, 58:45 on 29th may

you know hannah wants has a weekly show on kiss btw?

r|t|c, Thursday, 6 June 2013 12:03 (ten years ago) link

"Evil" "Dangerous"

lol

Thanks for chasing that down. Amazing. I think I need to hear the rest of this show.

MikoMcha, Thursday, 6 June 2013 12:05 (ten years ago) link

Yeah, I did she that she has a show. I'm going to try and catch her in London this month.

MikoMcha, Thursday, 6 June 2013 12:06 (ten years ago) link

yeah the 2:31 shows are v good... not wild omg stuff the way jackin nuum hype (or the marcus nasty 2012 sets) implies but a true representation of how the midlands crew puts its spin on today's house n bass sphere. strictly speaking i don't see jackin as really existing any more tbh, at least not the way it did last year

think you'll find as you listen your question on the ukpopbass thread answers itself better than anyone could possibly tell you (within ten thousand words anyway)

r|t|c, Thursday, 6 June 2013 12:24 (ten years ago) link

I need to dig deeper and follow those guys more closely, but the midlands house sound, whatever you want to call it, has a druggier, ravier vibe than anything else in UK dance I've heard for a while. This show from the 29th has more echoey, stutter vision, deep house effects circa late 90s early 00s than anything on the pop thread (but also with Bassline inflections)

It is also clear that Hannah Wants has shifted into a slightly more "sophisticated" sound than what she was playing when I checked her mixes out last year. Kind of hope she doesn't go further down that path though. Her mixtape 0513 is pretty much perfect imo.

MikoMcha, Thursday, 6 June 2013 12:45 (ten years ago) link

I love tunes like "Dorothy's Forest" and "Kneadin" that are basically these compulsive broken machine loops, like they take the name "jackin" way way way more seriously than everything else does.

Tim F, Thursday, 6 June 2013 13:45 (ten years ago) link

are there any other threads like this?

... (LocalGarda), Thursday, 6 June 2013 13:50 (ten years ago) link

What do you mean

Tim F, Thursday, 6 June 2013 13:56 (ten years ago) link

Vocal on "Kneadin" reminds me of Omni Trio.

MikoMcha, Thursday, 6 June 2013 14:00 (ten years ago) link

Also great, very late 90s prog-house to my ears...

MikoMcha, Thursday, 6 June 2013 14:06 (ten years ago) link

From the other thread, but this probably belongs here as well:

MikoMcha, Thursday, 6 June 2013 14:08 (ten years ago) link

At the risk of spamming the thread with YouTube links, after going through Cause & Effect Soundcloud and ID'ing some tracks, Operation 60 and Dreams are also great.

MikoMcha, Thursday, 6 June 2013 14:15 (ten years ago) link

i very much like 'the tickle' too

this is the monster right now though:

r|t|c, Thursday, 6 June 2013 14:45 (ten years ago) link
