Yeah yeah yeah this is MASSIVE! Not quite sure if you'd call it Jackin, it's a lot more syncopated than the pretty straight forward 4x4 BMM TSK KKA TSK JACK of most Jackin, and the bassline kind of rumbles rather than bubbles. Those spooky high pitch notes in the bass sound a bit Bassline doe. Most importantly it's just fucking good, you're right about the DnB thing actually, like, with those kind of snare breaks and spacey synths is actually reminds me a lot of DJ Crystal:

even the elderly can brock out to String Thing
Overheard the other day that apparently Lorenzo used to be part of Bassline act Dub Melitia (remember them?). They made really hard and industrial sounding beats that really stood out amongst the rest of Bassline:
If it's true that Lorenzo was part of Dub Melitia then here is some rare footage of him in the studio:

Interesting. Lorenzo = Chris Lawrence who was indeed in Dub Melitia (look at the record label)
That Bullet tune is horrible though innit
The outrageously homophobic sample used is probably there to shock.
Much prefer other tunes by them:

Shorterz & Enigma ft. Little Palm - Rag Doll (Dub Melitia Mix)
Not Jackin, but vocal 2-step with darkside hoovers

Amazing video of that dad skanking!!!
And interesting about Lorenzo, all good stuff I'munna add to this giant boombaclart Jackin article I'm working on
Weirdly, I was just looking over the first pages of the Funky thread from way back in 2007, and people were talking about 'Jackin House' being a thing in Nottingham:
Gabba Flamenco Crossover: "What do people think about the jackin' house scene that's big in Nottingham? Their records are like a more quirky, forward version of bassline a lot of the time."
Elgato: "do you mean Drop Music and .dotbleep and suchlike?"
Gabba Flamenco Crossover: "Yes, them and the US producers that are repped by people on that scene, like Jacob London."
...
What's the connection? I tried to find some of this stuff, but could only get hold of a little bit, but it seems pretty distant sonically from the current Jackin scene... But maybe this was where the name comes in - it seemed a pretty giant jump from Chicago in the 80s to Leeds/Brum in the 2010s...
Jambie guesses that this was likely a part of the primordial ooze from which Jackin sprung, the kind of House music the bassline guys were listening to:
Also if you go on Lorenzo's own soundcloud and look at the Cause & Affect tracks from two years ago, they're all straight Electro-Swing!!! which makes loads of sense actually.
Do any of you have any other ideas about proto-Jackin bangers?

Not music I'm very familiar with but its maybe worth investigating fidget stuff like Herve, Switch or Jesse Rose.
Organ House was / is big up norf and no doubt has an influence on the current Jackin' producers. Some info here: http://www.dissensus.com/showthread.php?11708-Organ-House-classics

bandz ahoy
^ anyone know what this is? ^
That Coke diet tune is big... Maybe I've been starved of dance music for too long but this stuff is really doing it for me (I'm basing this off that Marcus set). First stuff I've heard in a while that makes me want to get Serato.
