Stricktly Rockers is a reggae-style in which the "four-to-the-flour" beat is the main feature. Same beat that's the sounder of all discomusic. You'll find its affinity with reggae in its high-selected samples and a certain dub-feel. Mantra-trance elements mixing easily with toy-synths and plain rythm-boxes, resulting in hard core old school. Plain programmed disco-tunes and considered guitar-lace-patches, well surrounded by Jan Van Braedt's fragile voice.
Tom Waits meets The Pet Shop Boys, Jimmy Sommerville meets Captain Beefheart in a very rub a dub stylie. Voice of Jan Van Braedt and KPW's guitar tasting more than a trifle of sweet 'n sour. Rugged new-wavy electronic sequences among dingy lo fi weeds. One hand on the cyber-pulse, one hand reaching beyond, yet rooted firmly in 40 years of pop-music, with the ear of a connoisseur and the zeal of a true musiclover. Their first CD was recorded at the IPC-Studio in Brussels by top-producer Jean Marie Aerts (Urban Dance Squad, Babylon Fighters, TC Matic, Elisa Waut, El Fish, Red Zebra, De Kreuners .. ).
For live-performances there will probably be some extra musicians.
