For some years now, this illustrious combo from Antwerp has been touring Flanders fields, always giving its cows and church spines the finger. Being the offspring of Antifare La Familia, they started out taking random & jolly honky potshots, but not before long they became a real band with a solid live reputation and frequent gigs, even taking things abroad.
The first EP Direction Planetaire brings you a sound firmly rooted in big band and Balkan traditions. This was soon followed by the full Cd Monsterlada, inspired by their tour through Russia and sound that also incorporated melancholic melodies, steam boat moods for lyric horns, siren songs and even an occasional -and not unsuccesfull- attempt to bring techno stompers within range of their acoustic artillery.
The third and self titled album, is not a boring sequel off course. Pushing the limits of their not so usual instrumentation even further: the band brings us poppy melodies in Gogo, rocking rhythms in 's Nachts, electronic influences in Texas Tekno Cat and swingin' jazz in Swing The Undertaker. And did we mention the guest appearances of Bart Maris, Stefaan Blancke, Kati Heck and Elko Blijweert ? The album was produced by Roel Poriau (Think Of One) and he did so in grand style. As a bonus, the album also features a remix of 's nachts by breakcore wonder Sickboy. A very nice and varied album. Dixit RifRaf Musiczine. And right they are, too.
Traktor also appears on various compilation albums (Total War..Hidden Power SWE, Gonzo's Mind The Gap, NL etc..)
