Certified Jackin was formed in 2011 with the intention of taking the big-bass “jackin house” sound that was taking over the North of England and the Midlands and deliver to a wider audience. This was achieved via a simple YouTube channel which quickly, and slightly unexpectedly, became a massive success, harnessing close to 100,000 subscribers and over 25 million views. The sound we delivered was greatly received throughout the United Kingdom and across the globe.
 
Over the following years, we helped promote and intensify the early careers of well-respected artists who featured heavily under the CJ name. Artists such as Hannah Wants, Chris Lorenzo and of course, our head honcho: ILL PHIL, amongst many others. Their meteoric rise through the music scene has, along with other artists and DJs brought underground House music to the forefront of the dance music world, specifically the ‘Jackin’, ‘Bass’ and ‘Tech House’ genres.
 
We host events across the United Kingdom, mainly at the prestigious Lightbox in London where we have hosted some of the best in the business: Endor, The Wideboys, Tom Bull, Rich Pinder, Skapes, Martin Ikin and others. We have taken Certified to Dublin with Tom Zanetti, Tom Garnett and Nick Hannam. We’ve also graced Tank in Sheffield, Insomnifest in Leeds, Manchester, Rotherham, Maidstone and Dover.
 
ILL PHIL’s world-famous Mixtapes have amassed millions of plays on SoundCloud and our debut album ‘Certified Jackin: Underground House Music’ cracked the Top 10 of the iTunes dance chart in mid-2014.
 
Our sound has naturally changed over time, but our values remain the same. We aim to deliver high energy, feel good, bass-laden house music with a twist. Full frontal, underground beats.

I first stepped behind the decks in 1997, and within a few years, I landed a residency on Point Blank FM (now known as Release FM) during the golden era of the late ‘90s. In 2002, I took my passion for music overseas to Thailand, where I became a key figure in Koh Samui’s legendary scene, holding residencies at the Black Moon parties in Rocky Bay and the iconic Sound Club. I had the privilege of sharing lineups with legends like Brandon Block, Jo Mills, Dave Seaman, and Gilles Peterson. I also made my mark at Haadrin’s Big Boom Bar, spinning tracks at the world-famous Full Moon Parties, creating unforgettable nights under the stars.

My sound is rooted in the harder side of house – a mix of tech house, indie dance, and tech acid house. It’s full-on, driving, and energetic music with deep, rolling acid house basslines. Think tracks like “Acid Luv” from Basement Jaxx’s Junction EP – gritty, raw, and banging, yet still infused with that unmistakable groove.

During this time, I also launched my own record label, Sound Can Kill Records, signing myself and my band Sonic Surgery to the label. Unfortunately, we hit a tough moment in the industry – vinyl shops were closing down due to the internet boom, and the market took a serious hit. Despite this, we managed to sell a solid number of singles in Germany, the UK, and even Australia, but the changing landscape of the industry proved difficult, and I eventually stepped away from DJing for a long time.

More recently, the passion reignited, and I started a fresh acid house night called Shore Sound down in Brighton. It’s been an exciting return to the decks. I’ve been back at festivals, with bookings like Nobody’s Meadow Festival and Pete Bones’ Warm Your Cockles Night, where I also joined Pete for an incredible gig at The Exit Bar in Tampa, Florida. I’ve had the pleasure of playing alongside Thunder Pony from the U.S. and the legendary Bill Brewster.

These days, you can catch me DJing in Brighton during the summer, headlining our Shore Sound Brighton Beach Acid House Rave – where I bring my signature sound: pumping tech acid house, indie dance, and full-on, bass-heavy beats. It’s been an incredible journey so far, and I’m just getting started again.
