In the beginning, there was Jack.......

[stretchandhooker]

Just as a reminder :

In the beginning, there was Jack. And Jack had a groove. And from this groove came the groove of all grooves. And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldly declared, "Let there be House!" And House music was born. I am, you see. I am the creator. And this is my House. And in my House there is only House music. But I am not so selfish, because once you've entered my House, it then becomes our House, and our House music. And you see, no one man owns House, because house music is a universal language spoke and understood by all. You see, House is a feeling, that no one can understand really, unless you're deep into the vibe of House. House is an uncontrollable desire to Jack your body. And as I told ya before, this is our house, and our House music. And in every house you understand, there is a keeper. And in this house the keeper is Jack. Now some of you might wonder, "who is Jack and what is it that Jack does?" Jack is the one who gives you the power to Jack your body. Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake. Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly worm. Jack is the one who learns you how to walk your body. Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all Jackers together under one house. You may be black, you may be white, you may be Jew, or Gentile. It don't make a difference in our house. And this is fresh!!!

Together we can keep the music FUNKY !
cheers,
s.

The memories came flooding back with that one on Friday night.
It was great to hear that again.
I love it when you guys dig deep into those record bags and pull out the old tracks.

Keep the music funky and I will keep dancing.
I have been having a fantastic time upstairs on Fridays.
Thanks Steve and Wayne for putting the smile on my face

it would be interesting to find a statistic on how many times (exactly) that vocal has been twisted, spliced and remixed into new grooves and then put back onto wax.

i'm betting it's in the 100s.

BTW, last incarnation i heard was drum'n'bass...

 

[ethnik]

classic

fucking classic

heard it on sat night in k/w at the newest joint in town, the old phoenix roller rink, on a GIGANTIC sound system.

it sent chills up and down my spine and i had goose bumps all over. i was screaming it out at the top of my lungs....

i will never get tired of hearing this acapella.

and never mind how many remixes there are, how many dj's have you heard start their set with it?

reminds me of that classic John Aquaviva cd "Skills" when he starts off with Jack's groove and Finger's Inc. timeless!

peace

mike

ps Stretch and Hooker - nice thread boys, nice to be reminded of the roots once in awhile...

 

[kennyboy]

dumb question I know but remind me again, who does this track.

 

[sentence]

No offence to anyone here, or disrespect to that classic tale about Jack's groove but isn't anyone else sick of it yet? I've been hearing it since my first parties almost a decade ago. I'm not even sure that I ever liked it.

I just thought I'd add my opinion to this thread.

---> sick of Jack

 

[Da grunj]

^^^^^^^^^
2me its totally NOT about the track itself, its about what the track stands for.

I think you referring to the speech by Martin Luther King. If I hear one more person add this into their track I am going to kill them!

 

[stretchandhooker]

Kennyboy I am pretty sure it is Larry Heard. Not positive right this moment .
Eclipze - We are working on some stuff now and actually have a few projects that pretty much encompass that funky "Toronto" sound. I will keep you posted with any release dates.
Keep Jackin tha groove, and don't fall prey to the dark side
