Best friends since reception, Fitzy & Rossy B have always had an interest in music. In secondary school they both taken music as one of their GCSE subjects. Never to conform, the two would partner up to “work” on their assignments together in a sound proof room which consisted of listening to mix tapes mixed by Fitzy. Ross would have one hand on the door and one on the pause button in case the teacher entered the room.

After a few months of listening to mix tapes and not much course work being completed, the school had a delivery of music production software for kids – Dance eJay.
Fitzy took a copy home and soon figured out that a bounce sample could be added to the programs built in sampler. He immediately rang Ross and arranged to meet up that weekend to create their first track at the age of 15.
Ready or not, Secret, Everybody’s bouncin, On the beach, Silence, and a few more tracks were all produced on Dance eJay and instantly signed.

Wanting to take their productions to the next level, the boys decided to attend music production schools in Manchester. Now armed with the knowledge of Cubase, Reason, Live and other more professional DAW’s they started to produce at a higher level, earning them a name in the scene which lead to residencies and international bookings.

Now over a decade on, their sound – whether it be their older tracks or new ones – is still heard at almost every event and continues to influence many producers.

But the best is yet to come…

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.
