Jackie Gritness

'Introducing Jackie Gritness' is releasing today. 🎵 Nobody knows me - yet it's time to shamelessly slut my first real House record out on the internet - not like it's the first time I'm slutting anything out online. 😇 It's got 12 inches, 2 sides, a textile-inspired screenprinted sleeve, hand-stamped personal facial attributes, killer mastering, and it's HOT PINK. 💅 (Well, 30 of 'em are.) It has serious wall-shaking beats and sleazy - yet freely interpretable enough words. I'm extra proud of how Randy & Alaia from @cqqlrecords went all the way with it. It's mostly inspired by the early Sound Factory vibes, but since I was 3 years old when that joint was happenin', it's probably a terrible version of it - yet I'm having so much fun doing it and, considering the wonderful support I've been humbled by during pre-release, it seems people are having fun playing it as well. It's how this bitch truly feels about House. ✊ It took me long enough to fearlessy embody that aforementioned bitch - now she's publicly spinnin' on pink plastic. 👠 Thanks to the whole @thenycdownlow crew for unlocking my optimal plastic spinning capacity through their life-changing atmosphere. 🫂 OK - I need sleep - thank you if y'all still readin'. 🙏 Cop it if you dig it. Luv, J 💋

PREMIERE: Jackie Gritness - Fuc U Talmbout (Vicious Verbal Vers Mix) (CQQL Records) There’s this feeling that House Music is sometimes diluted into a pleasant, non-offensive and conformist formula. Well, Jackie Gritness - you may have heard of her big bro Gary - is bringin’ all the sweat, the attitude and the filth down - take it or leave it. Jackie introduces herself from both sides on this well strapped debut 12” - the slick swingin’ & sangin’ on the bass heavy A side, and the raw clave trax and cunty snarls of the acid-laced B side. No trace of over-production or tired sampling here: this is just Jackie, her mic and her lil’ groovebox - gettin’ raw in the studio just like she does onstage. Only thing added is some wall-shaking mastering by New York OG Dietrich Schoenemann. This is the kinda House that’s supposed to make regular folks wanna turn it off. This ain’t rated E for Everyone, it’s rated F for Freaks. It’s music from the underground, for the underground - as it was first revealed on the runway of Glastonbury’s infamous NYC Downlow last summer. And if that’s more than you can take - it’s alright. It’s not like Jackie will hold it against you. #electronicmusic #premiere #hypnoticgroove #newmusic #nowplaying

"Gonna take U higher & higher" ✈️ This here is @heidilawden liftin the box up with the vocal mix of "Natural High" - always a special moment when you see that a tune you sang on is gettin' folks in the zone. 🪩 Well, if y'all wanna check it out - I'm happy to say @why_people_dance is runnin' the premiere for this one - and I guess considering their channel's name, what's happening on this video is a pretty fittin'.💃 I've been kinda chillin' since I told y'all I got this new project out. Just kickin' back - and wondering wether DJ's would dig the record as the promos where handed out. 👀 Well, I gotta say the initial reactions have been very humbling - it seems this honest gurl's vision of House has found its way onto quite a few USB sticks and is already enjoying radio & club play - mad thanks for that. 🙏 Y'all know who you are - but I'll just mention @djaaronpaar rockin' that vocal on his Dublab show was very special for me - as Teflon Don's Planet Eater is one of my favorite underground House records. ✊ One last thing: Aside from the obvious Sly nod, this tune is about the fact you can get really high in many differents ways with no external substances - and maybe I'll talk a bit more next week about that 😏 "Natural High (Higher N Higher Vox Mix) is off "Introducing Gary Gritness", 12" out 24/04 on CQQL Records 💿

"I'm gonna take you on a natural high You don't have to do anything at all" 💋 There's this feeling that House Music is sometimes diluted into a pleasant, non-offensive and conformist formula. Well, Jackie Gritness - you may have heard of her big bro Gary @garygritness - is bringin' all the sweat, the attitude and the filth down - take it or leave it. 👢 Jackie introduces herself from both sides on this well-strapped debut 12" on Los Angeles's finest @cqqlrecords -- for now, dig the slick swingin' & sangin' on the bass-heavy A side. 🎙️ Don't sleep on this one - and stay tuned for more of J 💅 -- releases April 24, 2026 Errything by: J. - Art & Design by Alaia Pareja Ellis & J.

I've been lucky enough to follow @homo.centric records since the very beginning - my favorite tracks are 'Hector's Revenge' and 'Hora De Bailar' - and its manifesto had a profound effect on how I personally relate to House Music. ✊ Needless to say, I was very humbled when @gideon_dj_official asked me to play some basslines on his next joint in honor of @thecarrynation_nyc , a fierce New York City collective dedicated to keeping it real when it comes to the culture. 💯 I truly consider myself a Blues musician (some of y'all may know why) so when I saw the tune was called 'Carry's Blues', I figured out I might as well roll with some gutbucket licks here & there - and most of 'em ended up on the record. We decided to work with a "virtual synth" we both love, so as Gideon tweaked the panel on it to make it fit into the final mix, it was the closest to actually working together in the studio around that classic 101 instrument. 🎹 BTW - for all y'all wondering what the hell is this vacant profile about - don't worry hun, I got some of my own heat comin' later on this year... but for now, y'all just enjoy 'Carry's Blues' -- out now on @homo.centric records 💋

Brand new release on @homo.centric Records entitled “Carry’s Blues” by London producer GIDEÖN @gideon_dj_official is OUT NOW. The single featuring Jackie Gritness @jackiegritness on synth bass is a love letter to NYC & its legendary nightlife duo The Carry Nation @thecarrynation_nyc The Carry’s @djnita @willautomagic are not only torch bearers for the great tradition of Queer-led underground music in New York, they are also community organisers and activists in their own right. Music at the centre of a community: a living & breathing example of how House should be……..As house-bro’s increasingly appropriate our culture & corporations hijack our music, “Carry’s Blues” is a reminder of where House Music is really at.

Feeling so truly privileged to be invited to @glastofest 's and @block9official 's mythical @thenycdownlow . I will never forget the first time I entered that room in 2017. The sheer feeling of it was undescribable - but I can still feel it in my bones. 🦴 I couldn't dream of a better place to do my thing for the first time and I'm truly humbled by the trust that has been put in me through this invitation. 🙏 I'm ready to turn this mf out 💅 See y'all there 🫡

'At 12 midnight I will be here 4 u So don't forget what u have 2 do' 💅 . . . His studio musician resume reads like a House music who's who - from David Morales to Fred P. He's also been rockin' clubs with the Playin' 4 The City and MLIU crews. You might also have heard of his big brother's hard-hittin' electro cuts. But this bitch's feelings about House are stripped-down, bare-bones, and unapologetically sexual. Time for some realness.
