About Kraak & Smaak Soundsystem
Consis'ng of Oscar de Jong, Wim Plug and Mark Kneppers, Kraak & Smaak's impressive perform- ance and studio career have seen the trio consistently create refreshing records and outstanding DJ and live moments during extensive global touring across Europe, in the USA, South America, Asia, China and Mexico.
Establishing themselves with a dis:nc:vely warm and upli=ing sound across genres as disco, funk, electronic, indie, deep house, soul and even pop, Dutch crew Kraak & Smaak's vibrancy was first in- troduced to the world via their debut album, 'Boogie Angst'. With the buzz it created their perform- ances in The Netherlands quickly lead to invita:ons to play at Europe's biggest fes:vals as well as crossing over to the U.S, highlighted by dates at SXSW, Coachella, and Miami's WMC.
The second album, 'Plas'c People' dropped in 2008, and its hit single 'Squeeze Me' helped secure an interna:onal audience, gain the band significant media aRen:on as a "Must see live act" and sub- sequently saw the trio take the stage at Glastonbury, Lowlands in the Netherlands, and Europe's biggest fes:val, Sziget. During a five-week live tour across the USA, Kraak & Smaak performed at Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show on ABC television as well as a month-long Australia tour and step- ping on remix du:es for Jamiroquai.
In the following years, the upward trend of Kraak & Smaak con:nued with the release of the albums 'Electric Hustle' (2011), 'Chrome Waves' (2013), 'Juicy Fruit' (2016) and 'Pleasure Centre' (2019), featuring ar:sts such as Parcels, Romanthony, funk legend Lee Fields and Mayer Hawthorne.
Within this period, the trio also established themselves as a major live act with further career high- light shows such as Detroit Movement, Glastonbury and Serbia's Exit Fes'val.
Last year, 2023, marked their 20th Anniversary as a producer trio, live band and as DJs, and was cel- ebrated with the release of the 'Twenty' compila:on album and several special shows across The Netherlands and in Europe.
The current 6-piece live band showcases the best K&S has to offer, with a dynamic show that touches on every aspect of their music, from disco to house, and from soul and funk to indie electronica, with a banging rock-n-roll abtude to top it all off.
