Jack Your Body - Doorly Club Rub

The original house dance in its early Chicago form, jacking was at first a frenzied move, which involved a kind of whole body spasm interspersed with outbreaks of pogoing. Later the moves became more minimal, with tracks such as Steve "Silk" Hurley's "Jack Your Body" evoking a robotic minimalism.

"Jack Your Body", originally released in 1986, was a simple repetition of the phrase 'Jack, jack, jack, jack, jack your body' over a looped bassline plundered from soul group First Choice's club classic, "Let No Man Put Asunder". The single spent two weeks at #1 in the UK during January and February 1987.

The first Chicago house record to top the UK charts, "Jack Your Body" ignited Britain's jacking craze of 1987 and paved the way for the acid house sound that was popular there during the late 1980s.
