In Flagranti are Sasa Crnobrnja and Alex Gloor. They have both been in and around various scenes on opposite sites of the globe between New York and Europe and they share a simultaneous discovery of the Italian cosmic scene from the late seventies and early eighties. Both were hooked after hearing mix tapes which had this hypnotic blend of electro, disco, afro-rock and funk. In search of like minded people and the music they loved, Sasa and Alex met in Basel, Switzerland and it didn’t take long for them to relocate to New York to begin a musical bond which had become so strong that it inevitably led them to start their own record label Codek Records. Since the beginning of Codek, Alex and Sasa endeavour to explore their cosmic background in every possible way by creating and putting together different elements of graphic design and styles of music. A seamless flow which ultimately leads them to create In Flagranti, an act that resonates the electronic disco of Giorgio Moroder and Patrick Cowley to the punkfunk of Liquid Liquid, A Certain Ratio and the more contemporary sounds of today�s dance music such as The Glimmers and WhoMadeWho

For the uninitiated Boys Noize is actually one person; 24 year old Berlin native Alex Ridha who came out of nowhere eighteen months ago with awesome remixes for Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party and Depeche Mode. Since then, it�s fair to say he�s risen meteorically to the top of the electro tree and is sitting pretty with the scene�s other aristocracy Justice, Digitalism and Soulwax. This month sees the arrival of his highly anticipated debut album �Oi! Oi! Oi!� on his own Boys Noize imprint and it is a trashy fest of in your face party electro with one objective in mind: to be played in clubs loud and cause maximum damage to the dance floor.

So tell us a little bit about yourself for our readers, who are you and where you are from? I am Alex Ridha, born in Hamburg in 1982. Read the rest of this entry »

The Infadels are reputed to be the hardest working artists in the business, 2006 was a huge year for them, performing over 150 shows including 2 UK tours, 3 European tours, an Australian tour, as well as 35 festivals dates!! They played a scintillating set at our 3rd birthday back in May, and we caught up with them before the gig to do a little Q+A…

Tell us about the Infadels. Who are you? Where you from? We`re a five piece electronic rock n roll band from Hackney…but don`t hold that against us.

Where did you meet? We all used to work in an in an office where we were forced to listen to Virgin FM and watch MTV. Sounds ridiculous but it`s true. I think it`s fair to say we are a product of that horrible experience. Read the rest of this entry »
