» DJ-Blog.com - Jackin MC «

Hi, my honored house fellows! My name is Matthias Hoegner as known as Jackin MC. I’ve been a DJ and Blogger for several years now. There are a lot of things that I could tell you about me. But instead of giving you a massive self-portrayal I would rather present you the following interview:

Jackin MC is a true House music lover from Mainz (Germany). I stumbled over his DJ-Blog and was impressed by his enthusiasm on Jackin House, so I asked him for an interview.

I have to admit that I am not exactly an expert on Jackin House, so I asked him a bit about this style:

“It’s basically underground House music that originated from Chicago. I would describe it as a mix of Funky, Jazzy and Deep House. You don’t hear it in the clubs here very often, but it’s definitely the style that I like most.”

I was curious how he got in touch with this particular flavor of House music. I guess one could say that it was a mix of a lucky coincidence and some true dedication:

“A few years ago, I bought the record collection of another DJ who had just decided to end his DJ career. Among all these vinyls, there was one release by Olivier Desmet that I really liked. I started looking for more material in that direction and learned that there was not only a name for that genre, but also a community of people worldwide who are into Jacking house. One of my most important sources is the Underground House Forum (UGH), because there are many DJs and producers from around the world there.”

Even though not too many people know about Jackin House, the response he has been getting in his home region has been quite positive, both at the parties where he played as well as from his regular radio show on a local radio station.

“I heard that there was a new radio station to be founded near here. I simply asked if I could do a show there, and now I have a radio show that airs every Friday and Saturday from 11-12 pm. It’s just a local station, but a few bars tune into it. It’s always funny when friends tell me they heard my sound when they went out at the weekend.”
