To Jack
Verb. The style of dancing employed when listening to Jacking/Fidget House. The term fidget house was coined by DJ/producers Jesse Rose and Switch, apparently as a joke. They had come to generally signify this cut-up style of house music. It has a 4/4 beat and a cut-up, glitch style which contrasts other dance genres such as progressive house and trance. The way in which it differs from other house music styles is that it usually discards the solo drum beat introduction, thus encouraging a more cut-up rather than blend mixing style amongst DJs. Other common elements of fidget house include vocal sample snippets and a prominent bassline which often bends in pitch, rather than progressing by the semitone
