Jacky (UK)

In a time where the meaning of 'house music' is constantly evolving, a new generation of producers and DJs alike are breaking through. An artist who has taken this change of direction in his stride is Jacky.


Jacky’s love for music started young when he was growing up in East Africa - It was there his passion for drumming took hold and he came to realise that music was going to be more than just
a creative outlet and his sights were set on forging a career in the industry.


Fast forward to summer 2018 and Jacky has a whole lot in the pipeline including a string of releases on some of the underground’s hottest imprints. Namely seminal London label DFTD, where he dropped hit EP ‘Sensation’ last year which took him to the top five on Beatport’s tech house chart. His ties to the label do not end there though, as he has also secured an Ibiza residency for them a second year in a row.


Jacky has made his own mark on the underground club scene with the launch of his own event series – Jacky & Friends. Since breaking ground, J&F events have sold out several of Europe’s key venues including Sankeys MCR, Fire London, Digital Newcastle, Mint Warehouse Leeds, Eden Ibiza’s back room and Benimusa Park.


Since signing his first record in 2014, Jacky has gone on to receive widespread praise from some of the industry’s biggest artists, including Steve Lawler, Skream, Jamie Jones, Marco Carola, Richy Ahmed, Nick Curly, and Santé – All of whom gave full support on his debut releases.
