In Flagranti - Brash & Vulgar In Flagranti make neo-punkfunk the way it should be made; with no regards to structure or formality not as a rehash of tried and tested Mutant Disco templates. Not as fabulously fractured as their debut 2006's 'Wronger Than Everyone Else' nevertheless there are more ideas and experiments in here than a million Bloc Party Lps. And with song titles such as She Bend Each Leg Alternately (sic) I Can Thrill And Delight A Piece of False Morality Svelte Blonde I Hadn't Screwed Around Before And the fantastic 'ooh I'll have to lose weight luv' There's an inkling for what you're about to hear, good knock about funky filthy fun produced with European style with a New York attitude. Marvellous! -myweb.tiscali.co.uk/swine In Flagranti - Brash & Vulgar A '70s buxom blond screams in excited wide-eyed fear as spindly treefingers claw at her already torn underwear and the bracken mixed with glitter and confetti cracks and shatters beneath her blackened bare feet. She is escaping the In Flagranti edits forest, a dense woodland full of echoing samples spun around cobwebs by spiders with disco balls for abdomens. The rhythmic thumping/pumping of the discopic orgy at the central clearing is but a vague undulating rumble now as she reaches the satin silver river with a scaled down replica of the Golden Gate bridge connecting this land to the next - a shimmering city that resembles NY circa 1977, all the road signs written in strobing liquid neon, its permanently nite-time and everyone looks like variations on Shaft and Pam Grier, and there is a Studio 54 on every street corner where all kinds of vice is mirrored in the rain soaked pavements. - 20jazzfunkgreats.co.uk In Flagranti - Brash & Vulgar Here be the title track from the second album from In Flagranti, destined to grace shelves and internet emporiums in March. Its porn music for cyborg sexaroids getting dirty with moustachioed lotharios in plush landscapes of wicker chairs, sheep-skin rugs, brown leatherette and colour schemes ranging from lurid yellow to passive beige by way of spectral magentas and fur-coat browns. - 20jazzfunkgreats.co.uk The People Went Mad When They Heard That Just at the second that I finished listening to the new In Flagranti album, a new remix dropped into my inbox as well. I'd been listening out for 'Brash & Vulgar' after hearing it on a recent Soulwax mix, and it's surely going to be heard out on a lot of dancefloors in the coming months. There's a killer riff running through, with a few of what have become In Flagranti's trademark vocal drops. I'm sure this will be a single at some point... at least I hope so as the original version is far too short. - headphonesex.co.uk In Flagranti - Brash & Vulgar was just as wowed by the remix, from a forthcoming remix compilation on New York's Nubu Records, which also features Underground Resistance, Sinden, Claude Von Stroke & many others. It veers rather towards jazzy deep house, but retains a rough post-disco feel. It's also doing my head in trying to work out what the bassline at the beginning is sampled from. - headphonesex.co.uk

In Flagranti - Brash & Vulgar I've had the good fortune to listen to Brash & Vulgar, the latest LP by Brooklyn's In Flagranti, in its entirety and it's exactly what I wanted to hear from them. Dirty drums, clever samples, and no regard for convention. Listen to the title track below and tell me if the "people went mad" sample sounds familiar then check out the other tracks and buy Brash & Vulgar from Codek Records. In Flagranti also mixed the latest volume of the RVNG of the NRDS series which is already sold out. motherandcountry.com In Flagranti - Brash & Vulgar In flagranti literally means to be caught in the act of.. in most cases being caught have sex with another person by your other half. isn't that enough to love in flagranti already? they're much more than sexual innuendos though- see "i chatted up the nympho sectary (part 1)" and "she bend each leg alternately"- but rather they're this new york duo called sasha crnobrnja and alex gloor who share the love of the italian cosmic scene from nearly three decades ago. the end result? this kind of experimental blend of electronic disco music. i guess in continuation of "the ones to watch for 2009"- the next in flagranti album "brash and vulgar", which is set to drop on march 20th on codek, is probably one of this years LPs that im most looking forward too. luckily junodownload let you preview their album! isn't it special! anyway i just can't give you any tracks off that because well you just have to buy it- but what i can do is hand out a peace offering until its final release :) - youfunkinloveit.blogspot.com In Flagranti - Black & Grey Stripped Trousers In Flagranti make neo-punkfunk the way it should be made; with no regards to structure or formality not as a rehash of tried and tested Mutant Disco templates. Returning to form with their 'Brash & Vulgar' LP, this track is two minutes of Nouvelle Vague naughtiness ­ like Breathless on crystal meth! - cafedellar.blogspot.com In Flagranti - Brash & Vulgar A new piece of X-rated synthesizer-disco from Brooklyn's In Flagranti. It's all implied filth, of course. There's really not a whole lot that could be offensive about a bunch of sequenced machines. But like The Rolling Stone's "Brown Sugar" or Lil' Wayne's "Lollipop"­and really, all the really good sexy music­it just sounds like it's dirty. - www.nbcwashington.com In Flagranti - Brash & Vulgar Just at the second that I finished listening to the new In Flagranti album, a new remix dropped into my inbox as well. I'd been listening out for 'Brash & Vulgar' after hearing it on a recent Soulwax mix, and it's surely going to be heard out on a lot of dancefloors in the coming months. There's a killer riff running through, with a few of what have become In Flagranti's trademark vocal drops. - elbo.ws In Flagranti - Brash & Vulgar Yes the picture opposite is the album art for the new In Flagranti LP.Thankfully this is one record that has a lot more class and sex appeal than the girl pictured. Their sexy blend of deep disco, punk, new wave, electro, deep house has long been a favourite sound of mine and there are not many who can do it better. So I was a little anxious when I pressed play for the first time - hoping not to be disappointed. The In Flagranti boys (Alex & Sasha) must not know the meaning of the word 'underwhelming' which is good because it's not needed here. From the frist track 'She Bend Each Leg Alternatly' I was head nodding at maximum intensity. The repetitive synth groove on the title track 'Brash & Vulgar' is so addictive I defy anyone not to wish it was three times as long. It's not all electro instrumentals there are some killer glam new wave punk tracks on here like the awesome 'Svelte Blonde'. You need this LP while it's fresh. It's almost certainly going to become a future classic. - vainzine.blogspot.com

IN FLAGRANTI INTERVIEW 'Smutty' is the best way to describe mutant disco duo In Flagranti. They make the sort of records that should be kept on the top shelf, well away from children and those with a weak disposition. Whether it's the 70's porn artwork, the cheap salacity of the vocals or simply the way they name their records things like 'Sexx Piss Tool', it is somewhat of a given that the knicker-troubling two-piece of Alex Gloor and Sasha Crnobrnja will be turning next Friday's Contort Yourself into Manchester's biggest beat orgy. The pseudo-vulgar output from the producers is refreshingly entertaining, and their cross media manifestations of In Flagranti (Alex is a graphic designer and film-maker) means their live show will titillate the eyes as well as the ears, as Sasha explains. "When we get a nice space to project the visuals, it adds to the whole vibe and the focus turns away from 2 guys on stage twisting knobs. We will be mixing sounds and loops, it will definitely have the In Flagranti feel". This In Flagranti feel is decidedly underground, perfect for The Roadhouse's sweaty walls and, as it's a little different from Contort Yourself's normal bookings, will perhaps prick up a few ears underneath the devoted crowd's multi-coloured baseball caps. It's through Soulwax's recent Mixmag CD that In Flagranti has been propelled into the wider consciousness of the new wave of club-goer. The featured record on said compilation, 'Business Acumen', has tossed the suggestive pair from 'cooler than thou' record shop fodder to the skinny jeaned dancers producers du jour. "We did the track on the road, we were happy it it got so much support. 2manydjs played the track in their set for 2 years and then Kitsune picked it up and made it big." And big it did get, the chugging punk funker was charted by everyone and their dog as the energetic cow bells and suggestive guitar licks proved to be some serious bassbin viagra. 'Business Acumen' is one of many releases managing to turn on both bloggers and 12 inch aficionados at the moment with Fridays appearance in Manchester co-inciding with the release of their second album, Brash and Vulger. A menagerie of hi-hats, bass lines and enchanting, but loose moraled, vocals, we wondered if this sophomore LP had the band exploring odd samples akin to their carnal 2006 classic 'Wronger Than Anybody Else'.

"I don't think we changed much" Sasha tells us, "it's more of a continuation. I love samples!". This sampling attitude is at the core of In Flagranti's creative process, it's cut and paste culture at it's best, with Alex enthusing about his top tip for finding that disco snippet; "Always stick to the second-hand-shops & flea-markets, you never know what you gonna find!". To balance out this record/porn obsession, the boys counteract their fondness of 70's kitsch with lots of technology - enough technology in fact to make In Flagranti logistics odd to say the least. "I live in New York and Alex lives in Basel, Switzerland" Sasha explains to a perplexed Northernights. "we work in our own personal environment pretty much independently, then we exchange our work over the internet until it's ready to be released". Alex fills us in a little more on these futuristic work practices; "We never see each other, we just hook up for dinner before the gig and have fun doing shows, everything else is done via internet. Producing music, graphic design, videos/visuals, everything." The internet working relationship is impressive, Northernights often goes into meltdown transferring a file from South to North Manchester, yet again though the lewd nature of the IF soon reappears. When questioned on the next record title, Alex turns the conversation from intelligent information technology strategy to soft-core inquisitions; "One I like that's not been used so far is: 'So you only indulge in nooki when your husband is away?'. There are other titles i didn't use, but most of them make it onto one of our releases" he informs. "With "Sexx Piss Tool", it had been laying around for years in my drawer waiting to be used, after I did the cover collage with the girl squatting in a back alley i could finally use it, a perfect fit!" Disappointingly, the merchandise stall at the gig won't be the erotic utopia fans of the band might have hoped for - album launch business putting paid to a tiny version of Ann Summers set-up next to the fag machine. Next time, as Alex fills us in, they promise branded products including t-shirts, posters and ermmm ... "giant 20 feet pink blowup dildos!". Sam 'Softcore' Swaffield www.northernights.co.uk
