Biography

Since 1995, Krak in Dub has been a musical activist. He began as a reggae selector for "Spartacus Dub Commando» sound system. In 1996, he joined Mas I Mas sound system, one of the pioneers and most influential Junglist sound in France .

Between 1997 and 2001, Krak in Dub aka DJ Krakook worked as DJ, sound engineer and promoter for Mas I Mas (more than 150 dates during 4 crazy years). Every party organized by Mas I Mas attracts thousands of people.

Mas I Mas intends to extend Reggae, Jungle and Drum'n'Bass to all kinds of people. Musical and intellectual independences are its main aims in all his projects.

In 2000, Krak in Dub decided to climb a new step in music production. He founded an underground label: Random Records. On this label he produced his first tracks: from Interlope, from the original underground Junglist Radio Bomb, from C-Cil Facom and from many others.

Meanwhile he produced his own tracks; subtile remixes of bands he used to work with such as No Bluff, BBC sound system...

In 2002, he compiled all his tracks, creating a complete live act and performing everywhere he could. Known in Europe as the French junglist icon, Mas I Mas through Krak in Dub started to play outside France borderlines. He performed in Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain... and even in South America (Argentina, Colombia, Chile).

His live act is a mix between Ragga, Jungle, Furious Drum'n'Bass and Ethno Techno. He mixes directly samples, loops, rhythms, fx and filters on a 12 tracks mix table. 

Bringing dance floor into trance is the aim of his « Dub Technik ». His last tracks are available on Mas I Mas and Galletas Calientes labels. This new project (Galletas Calientes, created with his friend Charles Tox), dedicated to break beat, wants to unify singers and musicians looking for new sounds. 

  

 

This way, he met Mark Atkins, Australian aboriginal artist, in Paris during a recording session with MAGUARI Productions and decided to work with him in an experimental project mixing traditional instruments such as Didgeridoo with electro beats.

Same thing with the Jamaican early digital and rub a dub singer Echo Minott with who he worked in a Drum'n'Bass remix. A lot of projects on several labels are coming out soon.
