Kraak & Smaak

Kraak & Smaak formed in 2003 through a series of chance meetings, and have been winning over audiences all over Europe with their powerful debut album and energy-charged live shows.

In 2005, they won the Best Newcomer Award in their native country, Holland, and garnered praise from the likes of Radio 1's Annie Nightingale, Pete Tong and IDJ.

Citing Jazz, Hip Hop, Funk, New Wave and Breakbeat, as well as all experimental music as their main inspirations, their debut album "Boogie Angst" is unabashedly awash with funked up breaks and soul jumping grooves. The band however simply likes to call it, "Dance music to listen to."

Since then their dj sets and live shows have taken them to the UK, the US, Australia and all over Europe. Remixes were made for Jamiroquai, Richard Dorfmeister, 4Hero, Bitter:Sweet, Mark Rae and Soul of Man amongst others. In turn, K&S got the same treatment from Sharam Jey and Henrik Schwarz a.o.
