Phantasy is proud to announce its next release by the legendary In Flagranti. Revered by many to be amongst the best producers and artists of underground club music, the Swiss duo’s sounds have been staple in the sets of some of the world’s finest DJs, from Phantasy boss Erol Alkan to James Murphy, Tim Sweeney, Horsemeat Disco and many more. Their ‘Headrush’ EP is set for release digitally on July 8th 2013, preceded by a limited 12” on June 27th. This release features four cuts with only the dancefloor in mind, each track echoing the sexuality, style and darkness of the late night disco. Title track ‘Headrush’ melds clattering beats with ecstatic sighs and strutting synth stabs to set the pulse racing, while ‘Locker Keys For Tops’ and ‘Toiletries For Bottoms’ are sister slices of sleazy tropical house. The sassy ‘Dope As Shit’ completes the EP, and more than lives up to its title. At the forefront of everything is the duo’s provocative sense of humour, from the knowing wink of their track names to the retro cut and paste collage of both their cover art and their masterful edits which have ensured them a permanent spot in the hearts and record boxes (and USB sticks) of today’s leading music makers.

The eraly years of a decade are good times for exploration, just like in 1993 when we (Alex & Sasa) first started working together. We rented a huge loft space on Ave B & 2nd St. in the East Village in Manhattan. The winter was tough, we had 16 snow storms and due to a landlord who hated everybody, we had our heating turned off except for a few hours in the morning, sometimes not even that... The only way to stay warm was to wear hats, gloves and scarves the whole winter... But that was fine because nightlife was a lot of fun. There was a good club/party every night. Right below where we lived was one of the best after hour clubs called "Save The Robots". But one of my favourite parties was "Sugar Babes" which was at the CBGB's gallery space right next door to CBGB's, every Monday night. The DJ used to sample parts of the records he was mixing and then just play the loop of the sample and alongside was a drummer playing to it. It was really inspiring. So we wanted to go back to this idea of sound assembly and create a new series for us to work with called "Skematics" it's like a diagram or manual to help understand the interconnections between the odd parts we find and assemble, an imaginary manual for a new decade that has not been musically defined yet.

Sampler 1 of 2 from In Flagranti's new album. Predictably jacked to the brim full of their signature no-gristle, no-glory aesthetic. Succeeding 2006’s Wronger Than Anyone Else and 2009’s Brash & Vulgar, In Flagranti’s Sasa Crnobrnja and Alex Gloor have left behind their vintage porn-chic sensibilities and instead turn to yesterday’s trashed goods for inspiration.“Flea markets and recycling parts of our production are really at the center of this album,” said the now London-based Crnobrnja. “I like things to be old and run-down,” added Alex Gloor, who still resides in Basel. “So I let myself be inspired by one of my favorite places to spend time: 1970s- 80s New York City.” Among four killer tracks, “Prelude to Chaos” reminisces the days where the finest of 69-cent wines glistened in the gutters outside the arcade.

Sampler 2 of 2 from In Flagranti's new album. Predictably jacked to the brim full of their signature no-gristle, no-glory aesthetic. “Hallow Discourses” swaggers in on a gritty bassline, revealing excess in its degenerative electro finest, and “The End of the Road” leave a bit of the sleaze at the massage parlour door, opening up a new chapter of sound for the band. More outer space dump diving than straight-up vulgar.

Predictably jacked to the brim full of their signature no-gristle, no-glory aesthetic, In Flagranti introduces their new album, Worse for Wear. Succeeding 2006’s Wronger Than Anyone Else and 2009’s Brash & Vulgar, In Flagranti’s Sasa Crnobrnja and Alex Gloor have left behind their vintage pornchic sensibilities and instead turn to yesterday’s trashed goods for inspiration. “Flea markets and recycling parts of our production are really at the center of this album,” said the now London-based Crnobrnja. “I like things to be old and
run-down,” added Alex Gloor, who still resides in Basel. “So I let myself be inspired by one of my favorite places to spend time: 1970s- 80s New York City.”
Using experiences from Gloor’s past trips to the Forty Deuce, Worse For Wear conjures up ghosts from the finest of adult playgrounds past. “Hollow Discourses” swaggers in on a gritty bassline, revealing excess in its degenerative electro finest, and “Prelude to Chaos” reminisces the days where the finest of 69-cent wines glistened in the gutters outside the arcade. But standing at a right angle from In Flagranti’s better-known, dirty disco sound are tracks with a peculiar sense of calm. Tracks like “The End of the Road” and “On the Fringe” leave a bit of the sleaze at the massage parlor door, opening up a new chapter of sound for the band. More outer space dump diving than straight-up vulgar, Crnobrnja also added that the album “Works with old recordings that we have not used yet, such as vocals recorded years ago that I didn’t like at the time.” Bringing back the past has meant a softer edge for the duo, who still work from different countries. The only time they come together is for music.
