Codek Recordsの開始以来、AlexとSashaはグラフィックデザインと音楽のありとあらゆる要素を融合してシームレスなフローを形成するという独自の宇宙観を生み出してきた。それが「In Flagranti」である。「カット&ペースト」の無限の可能性を秘めた美学を絶え間なく追求してきたのだ。
彼らのDIY(Do It Yourself)から生まれた作品は、NYのストリートシーンおよび海外で大きな評価を得た。毎週開催されるSashaのパーティー「Organic Grooves」やAlexの伝説的なミックステープ「SMYLONYLON」などが象徴的である。
またCodekのジャケット・デザインはIn Flagrantiの美学を形成する最も大切な要素である。ハンドシルクで覆われたジャケットはWire magazineが「このビジネスの中の最高傑作である」と絶賛するほどである。In Flagrantiは独自のビデオクリップをYoutubeでも公開しているが、そこでも強烈なビジュアルインパクトを放つ。「女性、グラマラス、淫らさ、シックスタイル」などがアイデンティティーでありニューパンクを詠唱する。
ジォルジオ・モロダーやパトリック・コウリーのエレクトロニック・ディスコからリキッド・リキッドやア・サーティン・レシオのパンクファンク、そして今日のダンス音楽のサウンドに至るまで、これら全部をユーモアたっぷりに、そしてエロティックにコラージュされたものがIn Flagrantiである。
In Flagranti is the duo of Sasha Crnobrnja and Alex Gloor. They both have been in and around various scenes on opposite sites of the globe between New York and Europe. What they share is the simultaneous discovery of the italian cosmic scene from the late 70’s early 80’s. Both were hooked after hearing some of the mixed tapes in the early 80’s, 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 didn’t take long for Sasha to join Alex who moved to new york in the early 80’s, 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” Sasha’s long running weekly party and “SMYLONYLON” tapes, Alex’s by now legendary mix tapes, gained them a lot of street credibility in New York and abroad. In addition the CODEK sleeve design is a big part of the whole esthetics, especially some of the early hand silk screened sleeves, which the Wire magazine calls “the best in the business”. In Flagranti pushes the envelope further by adding video clips that accompanies each song which are displayed on their website www.codek.com and shows the visual influence. Woman-Glamour-Trash-Chic is the identity which brings out the new punk attitude.
