Jackin house is having another loud year on the dancefloor, and the records that stick are the ones that still sound like a party rather than a preset. Cas’s latest single, Southside, lands right in that pocket. It is a disco-infused jackin house track, pitched as energetic and happy, built around a groovy chopped-up disco sample and a feel-good vocal hook. If your playlists lean funky, nu-disco, and club-ready house, this one is built for the middle of the night rather than the background of a commute.
Cas is a Washington, DC Metro native who has stayed with house through a long stretch of club culture. He came up in the rave days of the late 1990s, kept going through the rise of EDM, and never left the genre that first felt like home. He has played clubs across the United States, most notably up and down the East Coast. The early-2000s house scene locked in his taste: up-tempo, funky house with a splash of disco and a few techier edges. That is the same lane Southside sits in. He started producing the music he already loved in 2023, and the catalog has moved fast since then. Spotify shows roughly 3,900 monthly listeners and a run of singles that includes Disco Party, We Want You, Time to Preach, Together Again, Tell Me Something, Dance With Me, Give It to Me, and House Revolution. We Want You has crossed 85,000 streams. Southside arrived on 11 September 2026 as a radio edit and an extended mix, the latest release on a page that already reads like someone working the club circuit and the release calendar at the same time.
The production brief is straightforward, which is a compliment in this style. Jackin house lives on swing, a chopped sample that keeps resetting the groove, and a hook short enough for a DJ to ride. Southside does that job with a disco sample cut into pieces and a feel-good vocal line sitting on top. The pitch calls it energetic and happy, and the arrangement is aimed at people who still want house to sound like a dance record. Radio length keeps it playlist-friendly. The extended mix, already circulating on Traxsource, gives selectors the longer runway jackin sets usually need. Nothing here tries to reinvent the wheel. It leans into the parts of the genre that still work: bounce, a sample with personality, and a hook you can clock on the first listen.
That choice lines up with where club music is right now. Tech house still leads a lot of Beatport conversation, but classic house, funky house, and disco-leaning jackin records keep selling because crowds recognize the groove immediately. Traxsource’s jackin house chart is full of chopped vocals, roller-disco energy, and tracks that announce themselves in the first bar. Cas has been curating that world himself. His Jackin Disco House 2026 playlist sits at more than 5,000 saves and is updated weekly with funky house, nu-disco, groovy house, and soulful cuts. He has also been on the DC circuit in person, including a September headline at Eighteenth Street Lounge for a BackBeat night billed around jackin house and funky house. Southside sounds like the studio version of that room: East Coast club instinct, disco flavor, no detour into big-room theatrics.
If you already know his earlier singles, Southside fits the run without repeating it. Disco Party and We Want You pushed the same cheerful, sample-led house idea. This one tightens the brief to a chopped disco loop and a vocal hook, which is exactly what jackin selectors look for when they need a record that lifts a room without resetting the BPM. For listeners outside the club, it is an easy entry point into a style that still rewards headphones as much as a sound system.
