Early Chicago house is full of Jackin. Subsequently the term has become a bit confused. So what are the tracks that you think of when you hear the word? The ones that make you wanna be in a sweaty, dark place, around 3am unable to stop your body from moving. What does Jackin mean to you?
These are my two:

Yep, right in that groove, thanks!
Jackin’ or just banging? https://youtu.be/B9uHG7IHW-M
Well it’s certainly busy enough, with all that high percussion. I think if you played this after Work it to the Bone some people might get a bit resentful about being told what to do all the time. Its a Jackin track alright though!
Some of you may wonder who is Jack and what is it that Jack does…

Jack your body
House nation. Stuff like that.
I mean, people were dancing like daleks all over the place for a year or two, but sound of Jack gotta be that early stuff, listen to it now its machine music, not deep house of Sterling Void, just Jack.
Oh yeah, I rather jack, than Fleetwood Mac.
Yeah Definatlely all them
I bought a copy of that Carolyn Harding record from a tiny shop in Miami. Ironically she used to come into the cocktail bar in Leicester where I worked as a student. So a bit of a long way around.
Always think of Dance Mania being the epitome of Jack, from the classic early stuff through to the later ghetto style stuff…
3 to make you jack
I’ve been deep into this early house sound since last year, discovered a few gems.
Ironically this is the NY mix but I like it the best for Jackin purposes. Street mix has some cool 303 action though and is also great:
Jackin in a housepipe:
Sounds familiar:
Some crazy early Derrick Carter action, rewinds and all:

And this one, which has sadly crept up in price:
Perfect Jackin material there, none of which I had ever heard before. Thanks. Strangely, I was listening to that BT Express track, Peace Pipe, only the other day. And that is a very familiar Salt n Pepper sample too. The raw materials of Jackin house were varied.
Sparse, primitive, acid-inflected Jackin grooves. Makes me want to lose my shit.
I can’t believe there’s a house version of peace pipe and I never heard it until today. This forum is bad for my bank balance but good for my sanity. I’ll take it.
