“These guys don't really have a bio, they are so funny like that. Well anyway, you need to know that these are 2 Swiss cheese Muthafucka's who re-installed their rumps in NYC in the 80's, 90's or whenever (they are sooo old!! heh-heh).”
So reads the bit where you’d usually find a biog on the website of New York-based Swiss disco duo In Flagranti. As you can tell from that description and their soft porn artwork – and indeed from this podcast – a sense of humour is key to what they do. With a love for everything in and around disco and its sub-genres and bastardises offshoots, the duo started their Codek Records label back in 2002, and since amassing a healthy underground following, they’ve cropped up on labels like Kitsuné, Gomma and Erol Alkan’s Phantasy Sound. Ahead of their set in our room at Together at The Coronet in London this Friday (23rd April), they’ve put together a two-part mix – with Sasa digging through early disco experiments, and Alex sifting through some of his favourite ‘70s cheese. The Cliff Richards song at the end is actually awesome. Get your ticket for Together at
