'Shiiiit' is on the flip of new single 'My Mind's Made Up', which is out on Jalapeno Records today
The Dutch trio of Oscar De Jong, Mark
Kneppers and Wim Plug, better known to the world at large as Kraak &
Smaak, have been peddling their funk, soul and disco-fused party
wares for well over a decade now. Their latest single My Mind's Made
Up, featuring a killer 80s boogie-style vocal from Berenice, is out
on Jalapeno today (27 November)… but it's the B-side we'd like to
draw your attention to rightnow.
As you'll hear below, Shiiiit is a lot
less 'pop' and a lot more 'down and dirty' than the A-side. And
anyone who watched The Wire (what do you mean, you've never seen The Wire? What the hell is wrong with you?) should instantly
recognise the one-word vocal sample which gives the track its title!
Kraak & Smaak haven't released an
album since 2013's Chrome Wave. They've had singles recently on
Spinnin', Axtone and their own Boogie Angst, but it's worth noting
that all their full-lengths to date have come on Jalapeno. So does
this mean a new long-player's on its way? We live in hope…
