Rewind a couple of years and we find the three dutch guys plotting world domination from their hometown of Leiden. Since releasing their debut album Boogie Angst they have played over 200 live band gigs, they've been hailed by I-DJ as a "Must see live band" they've supported the stadium-rocking Faithless on their European tour and played some of the most prestigious gigs in the USA including Coachella Festival, SXSW Festival, the Miami Winter Music Conference as well as playing headline sell-out gigs on the West and East Coast on their last tour.

Although Kraak & Smaak originally started out as a studio project for the founder members Oscar De Jong, Mark Kneppers & Wim Plug it quickly became one of the hottest live properties in dance music. The live band has the addition of Ro Krom -- drummer & vocalist, Rose -- vocalist and Marc on the bass guitar. Coupled with the keyboards, FX and percussion played by the band themselves it's a formidable slice of funk on the floor with the epic moments provided by K&S's more leftfield output.

Kraak & Smaak have released two warm up 12" to introduce their new album Funk Ass Rotator / Mad As Hell and That's My Word EP. Their new album will be released on April 21st 2008 preceded by a new single "Squeeze me" featuring Ben Westbeech on April 14th.
