In Flagranti is the duo of Sasha Crnobrnja and Alex Gloor. They both have been in and around various scenes on opposite sides of the globe between New York and Europe. What they share is the simultaneous discovery of the italian cosmic scene from the late 70s early 80s. Both were hooked after hearing some of the mixed tapes in the early 80s, which had this hypnotic blend of electro-disco-afro-rock-funk-dub. in the search of like minded people and the music they loved, Sasha and Alex meet in Basel/Switzerland. It didnt take long for Sasha to join Alex who moved to new york in the early 80s, and also make the move to the big apple, in 1993. the musical bond had become so strong that they decide to start their own record label Codek Records, which will mark the 10th anniversary in 2006.
Since the beginning of Codek Records, Alex and Sasha aim to explore the cosmic background in every possible way by creating and putting together different elements of art/graphic design and styles of music in to a seamless flow, which ultimately leeds them to create In Flagranti, an act that would reflect all that, and continue to explore the endless possibilities of a cut and paste esthetic. Their DIY attitude, which came in many forms like Organic Grooves Sashas long running weekly party and SMYLONYLON tapes, Alexs and Chris Bricks by now legendary mix tapes, gained them a lot of street credibility in New York and abroad.
