ON DECK: JackLNDN

The rising Londoner could very well be dance music's next triple-threat.

JackLNDN hails from the city of London and is actually not named after the famous fiction writer. He also has a Facebook description that points to his multi-faceted approach as an artist. It reads: Electronic. Dance. Music. This cheeky take on everyone's favorite acronym (and former banned Instagram hashtag) represents Jack's penchant for jumping around the sound wheel with only one directive in mind—make you move.

As you can see by one of his recent postings, Jack's engagement with these previously mentioned sectors aren't always connected exclusively. While his latest summer single for Ultra, "All I See," flexes his affinity for breezy deep-house grooves, he's just as likely to take to a grand piano for a downtempo live rendition, even providing some impressive improv crooning. With a live show in development in the next year, his future as an artist seems flowing with opportunity, whether as a DJ, producer, or vocalist. I.E—a triple threat.

Bringing his talents to our ON DECK series, Jack's focus is firmly on his skills as a selector and party-starter, kicking things off with Apres' historically conscious rework of Frankie Knuckles' "Your Love" and Chuck Roberts' "My House," the latter of which cheekily begins with those famous lyrics—In The Beginning There Was Jack. Shortly after he erupts into an hour of house jams and some of his own energetic disco edits.
