Watch & Listen To This: The Jam!!!!!!!

Filed under: Listen To This > Kraak & Smaak

We've got a new anthem, y'all!!!!!!!!

Say hello to Kraak & Smaak, one of the hottest groups around!

Hailing from the Netherlands, their music could best be described as Amy Winehouse meets Moby.

Their sound is an exploration in soul, funk, dance, electro and breakbeat.

In other words, Kraak & Smaak are fucking amazing!!!!!!!

CLICK HERE to enjoy the delicious Squeeze Me, which has an equally mouth-watering video.

Justice are SO last year. It's all about Kraak & Smaak!

This is just terrible. I was waiting for it to get good and it just kept getting more and more repetitive and boring. Just AWFUL. A kid could have composed this. SO glad I have some taste.

Ok, kraak does not mean crack it means to squat (or to crack (something)). Smaak does not mean smack, smaak actually means taste, and Kraak & Smaak sure do have some taste. I love this video! Thanks, Perez, for representing a little bit of The Netherlands on your site! (and yes for all you dumbasses on this site, Holland (that little country near Germany) is the same as The Netherlands…)

Firstly, this has been around for ages. Secondly, Kraak and Smaak sound nothing like Justice!

they sound exactly like jamie lidell…..
tottsie says – reply to this

40

Also, am I right in thinking you get all your songs from the radio one playlist? You should really credit them mate.
Seahorse says – reply to this

41

I dig both Kraak & Smaak AND Justice
……but theyre completely different styles, Perez.
Not all electronic music is the same.
(And for the record, K&S have been around a lot longer)

oh my gosh… are you clueless this video is great, and the director has done some other great stuff as well! i love justice as well! i think there's room for both…
Koob says – reply to this

Re: More like Blood, Sweat and Tears meets Disco trash –

Completely agree. PS: There's no comparison between Justice and these Douchebags. Puh-leese!
char says – reply to this

48

i'm a dj kraak & smaak have been putting tracks out for a while now mostly breakbeat so definitely not the stuff you post on your site. this song isn't actually even close to their best work.

if you want one of their better tracks listen to "money in the bag" (sharam jey rmx in particular)

try expanding your horizons beyond justice perez!

I knew about them last year…. duh…

Kraak n' Smack R whack!

you need to work under a a&r veteran, he will help you understand what is hot and what is not, if you pick to many bombs you will be out of the business.

good luck

callie says – reply to this

59

perez… the music videos you post are becoming much too predictable, with the expeption of this one. is this really what you like? this is the first track that doesn't have a shitty euro beat or isn't a washed up "diva".. if by diva, you mean "has been", or poorly selling, aging recording artist. even that label is generous. it honestly can't be homogenous, as a heterosexual man, to like those women. please.

Re: Anna – remove stick from butt then comment. Thanks. I wasnt worried about the music. I just liked the flip book thing. It was a cool video idea. eat it!

67

awesome!!!
hallie says – reply to this

68

love it.

this song features ben westbeech, whose album "welcome to the best years of your life" is phenomenal. also probably why there are some jamie lidell comparisons.

all of which: amazing.

Totally boring. I was thinking you had insight and taste but you missed the mark this BIG time. Might be good under the influence in a bar maybe…. but that's about it.

Perez you are such an idiot. This is good but it is NOT Amy Winehouse meets Moby. You are so sure that you get it but you just don't. And I"m sure you sit there like "fuck haters" or whatever but the truth is you're not NEARLY as great as you or a lot of people make you out to be. There are so many BETTER FUNNIER bloggers out ther that SUPPORT each other. I think it's funny how you think you're on top of shit but that you're having your fifteen minutes just like everybody else. I like how a long time ago you posted that Gabrielle Union had this quote about you where she said that you don't "dog" on your own people. What she meant was the latinos. Well you "dog" on gay people all the time. You insist people come out. You posted that video of gays fighting awhile back too. That shit is NOT COOL. It is NOT good for the community. Coming out is a personal process that EVERYONE goes through differently and it is NOT FAIR for you to call people out like that. Not everyone has the support that you do. I really hope you read this because you know I'm not just some idiot. I think a lot of the stuff you're doing is terrible. That's all I have to say.

kraak & smaak is dutch, it means 'break & taste'
Andres says – reply to this

77

What boring drivel - no wonder Warner passed on Perexxx's "record deal." His taste is as bad as his penchant for self-promotion.

Holy shit! My time machine works! It's 2001 and I'm listening to Fatboy Slim!

john says – reply to this

83

Kraak and Smaak is a dutch expression. Kraak is crack as in breaking a cookie in half, Smaak is flavor. It shouldn't be translated literally, the expression "kraak en smaak" means something is fresh and has flavor.
The Pharmacist says – reply to this

84

It's OK, but let's be real here, JUSTICE would fucking run these guys out of the studio.
The Pharmacist says – reply to this

85

Re: robotsteve –

Amen robotsteve. Is it Kraak and Smaak or is it the Bentley Ace Chemical Brothers Dust Brothers Fatboy Slim Beck Remix ?

JUSTICE is the way and the light.
dee says – reply to this

86

Holland is the best ! Perez, maybe you should check out Ali B as well. He's one of the best rappers worldwide! And don't forget his evil little nephew Yes-R. And as long as you're busy, you could check out the uber-talented Lange Frans en Baas B. Bye bye 50, HELLO Lange Frans! Sounds way more cooler tough.

When it comes to music it´s just so obvious you americans are SOOOOOOOOO laaate. Seriously, you guys STILL listen to RnB. Awesome song, though.

Lex (Alexandra) says – reply to this

92

Ok this is my last post (I've got work to do y'all ^^)

Yeah Gail: If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much!!!!! hehehehee (apart from Ali B, but he's Maroccan so that doesn't count, and he's crap so..)
Kraak&Smaak is cool..AND TOLERANT!! says – reply to this

93

Re: Lex (Alexandra) –

Oh pleazz..Dutch stupidity…Ali B is crap but if he was making great music you probably would have been saying he is Dutch. Typisch ..Als iemand goed is en slim etc is die een van de Nederlanders en anders is het een buitenlander. Crap racists.
Fem says – reply to this

94

Kraak & Smaak… no thank you. Check C-mon & Kypski. But Jamie Lidell is the best! (and Goldfrapp!)
