Hey, house heads! Remember that feeling when a track hits and your body just has to move—like the beat is pulling you onto the floor whether you're ready or not? That's exactly what happened when I pressed play on Dexter Troy's latest, "Uncle Funk." In a world full of polished tech-house bangers, this one reaches back to the raw, bouncy joy of jackin house and old-school house, sprinkles in some serious funk, and comes out swinging. If you're searching for fresh jackin house tracks that feel like a love letter to the golden era, stop scrolling—this is it.
"Uncle Funk" is pure dancefloor fuel. Built on that signature four-to-the-floor kick, it’s got the kind of rolling, bouncy bassline that defines jackin house: upbeat, playful, and impossible to resist. The percussion swings hard, hi-hats popping off the beat just right, while funky disco samples weave in and out, giving it that unmistakable groove. Dexter layers in subtle electro-techno touches too—little synth stabs and filtered effects that keep things modern without losing the soul. It’s the kind of track that works just as well in a sweaty club at 3 AM as it does warming up a sunset festival set. Old-school house fans will hear echoes of the Chicago and New York sounds that started it all, but refreshed for 2026 playlists.
Dexter Troy isn’t new to this—he’s been perfecting it for over two decades. The Swiss DJ and producer has earned serious respect with releases on heavyweight labels like King Street Sounds, Mood Funk Records, and Groove Culture. That’s the same company as legends like Kerri Chandler, Dennis Ferrer, Masters At Work, Satoshi Fumi, and Dimitri From Paris. For more than 20 years, he’s been bringing his signature blend of house, funk, disco, and electro-techno to bars, clubs, and festivals across Switzerland and beyond. His sets and productions always feel like a celebration of dance music’s roots while still pushing forward, and "Uncle Funk" is a perfect example of that balance.
Right now, we’re deep in a glorious old-school house revival. After years of minimal and tech-house dominating the charts, listeners are craving warmth, funk, and personality again. Jackin house and funky house-leaning tracks are popping up everywhere, from Beatport charts to viral DJ sets. Artists are digging into disco crates, looping vocal chops, and bringing back that body-jacking energy that made house music a global movement in the first place. Dexter Troy is right in the sweet spot of that wave, delivering exactly what the dancefloor needs: music that makes you smile, sweat, and lose track of time.
