Live Review: LISTEN: Kraak & Smaak ‘The Future is Yours’ (Original Mix)

‘Squeeze me’ by KRAAK & SMAAK has to be one of the most memorable tunes from my clubbing hey-day, which means the mere thought of reviewing their latest track has reverted me back to my sweaty, pineapple vodka swilling 19-year-old self in no time.

The amazing piano riff pounds through your bones as the opening chords to funk-master house lord trio Kraak & Smaak’s , ‘The Future is Yours’ begins. Husky vocals make this tune transform into a house anthem. Flirty bass tears through the track, peppered with restrained percussion and floaty vocal harmonizing.

I double dare you not to become enthralled with the pop elements and disco beats that this track has to offer. Go on, sit there and don’t shimmy your shoulders- it is impossible. As the silence descends on the 5 minute 56 second mark, the vivacious beat and catchy lyrics remain imprinted in your mind, making it hard to get this tune out of your head. Kraak & Smaak have done it again.

They sure know how to produce a track that mesmerizes, a track that you can find playing, from your local drinking hole to basking in the sun in your backyard. The future is yours, and the vodka pineapple…is mine.
