What Is Jakbeat
In detail what defines jakbeat tracks has a lot to do with the jacking feeling and little to do with labels, aesthetics, or any list of synthesizers.
The Jack sound exists in an endless assortment of musics.
For a while it was generally known that you do not need a Roland TB303 to make 'acid'. But as other fashions took control of our house that fundamental understanding was lost...and the aesthetic took over.
A contrived image was left with the masses.
Jakbeat as it has come to be known is a not just a hash back to a golden age of house, it’s not just a mess of drum beats and synths and it’s not just something that is created at random.
“Jakbeat” is a state of mind and different level of musical consciousness.
This sound was influenced from the early inception of dance music.
As a collective we want to produce an impressive slew of no-holds-barred full on electronic/synth rhythm tracks resisting the current trend for an over-calculated digital sound which has retained the musicality in keeping it very real.
