Jack Beats

Jack Beats is the collaborative project of Niall Dailly (DJ Plus One) and Ben Geffin (Beni G), two heavyweights of the UK DJ scene with backgrounds in the Scratch Perverts and The Mixologists respectively. Formed in 2007, the duo became the primary architects of the 'fidget house' sound, a subgenre that bridged the gap between the blog-house era and the UK bass explosion.

Their sound identity is rooted in high-level turntablism, applying hip-hop scratching techniques and rapid-fire sampling to the structure of house music. This resulted in a signature aesthetic of 'wobbly' mid-range bass and intricate, glitchy percussion. Throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, they were central to the Cheap Thrills label and became one of the most sought-after remix teams in the industry, reworking artists from La Roux to Florence + The Machine. Their influence is seen in the evolution of bass house and the technical standard they set for live electronic performance. Critical consensus highlights their ability to maintain a 'party' atmosphere while executing complex, technical production that appeals to audiophiles and club-goers alike.
