FRAKAH !!

About Me

Frakah are a bunch of knob-twiddlers straight out of the Midlands they fuse local accents with daft haircuts and have recently become thoroughly house-trained and you could even take em home to meet your mother!Apart from knobs, they're not bad with synthesizers and drum machines either and not just in the studio. The full on Frakah experience (unlike the Jimi Hendrix Experience) includes two vocalists, a drummer, a turntablist and a bank of machinery and flashing lights that would challenge the crew of the Enterprise to make it so, but whereas the crew of the Enterprise can only work their magic for half an hour... Frakah can and do work it for five hours plus!Their first release will be seeing the light of day through the Sound of Spectrum, the label arm of award winning break-beat behemoth, Spectrum Breaks (no, its not a holiday camp, you arse-candle), who signed the track after seeing the damage the thing wreaked when played out on CDR to crowds at the Glade Festival, The Custard Factory (Drop Beats Not Bombs) and of course, at their very own Nottingham shindig, based at Stealth, the much touted Spectrum.The boys are currently working on their next batch of electro breaks and sleazy house madness, in between recording sessions at Confetti Studios, cups of tea, indulging their passion for compressed air and stamp collecting.
