What is Jackin/Bassline House?

(thanks to jantz)

Tends to be focused around stronger, longer baselines that wobble and bounce, with punches, stabs and 'dirty' metallic noises commonly used. There also tends to be a louder, more prominent clap ending each bar within the 4x4 structure. Usually faster than most generic house music at anything between 125-135bpm. Closest thing to it for me would be fidget house with Jackin having generally more noises going on than fidget, and less well.... fidgety.

Examples of artists who's music often fall in this genre include Hannah Wants, Low Steppa, My Nu Leng, Billy Kenny and Chris Lorenzo,

Jackin House and Bassline House are very different.  They are not the same other than they can fit under House.  But it could easily be argued that Bassline fits better under the Garage section as it was influenced by Speed Garage and UK Garage.

Jackin House and Fidget House are very different as well.  Bassline and Fidget House are way more similar to one another.  Jackin is different than both Fidget and Bassline. 

Jackin came out in the 80s.  Bassline came out in the 90s.

Jackin is very old school.  Bassline House came out at least probably 10 years after Jackin.

Jackin House "The biggest names that currently represent this style would be Sneak, Mark Farina, Jason Hodges, Fries & Bridges (Hector Moralez & Phil Weeks), DJ Mes, Sonny Fodera, Tommy Largo, Wattie Green, d-t3ch, Scrubfish, Nate Laurence, JR From Dallas, Chemars, and many more."

"Over the years like most genre’s it has changed and re-shaped somewhat and overlaps with other House music genres. A lot of what traditionally was called Disco House is now referred to as Jackin House simply by the fact it samples or borrows riffs, melodies and vocals from classic disco tracks often chopped up in to short passages and repeated over and over on top of a phat beat and baseline."

Sneak is very old school.  He came out very near the beginning of House music.  Jackin borrows from Disco tracks.  Bassline is hardly anything like Disco other than both of them falling under a 4 to the floor description, if you will.
