Boogie Angst is a great title for a disc, isn’t it? The lithe combination communicates the fun of funk and breaks with the knowledge of the genre’s emptiness. It’s also an appropriate description of the music of young Dutch trio Kraak & Smaak. The breaks-influenced group, made up of Mark Knepper, Oscar De Jong & Wim Plug, blend jazzy rhythms, breaks and a retro, diva vocal vibe into a pleasant, light mix—all headspinning surface, nothing beneath. Think of Skeewiff’s recent single “Love Power”, or some of Jamiroquai’s more upbeat funk anthems, and you’ll have the idea. It’s not very fashionable music, and a bit overt in the same way as the Frank Popp Ensemble, but undeniably enjoyable.
