SPIRITUS RECTOR
SET ONE
First volume in a
new series of edits
from In Flagranti



CRE-045 – Vinyl 12″



Alex and Sasha return to their evergreen In Flagranti moniker after taking a couple of years out to scour the pound bins, pawn shops and porn shops on the hunt for those flecks of gold hidden under the filth. “Spiritus Reactor” marks the beginning of a fresh series of edits from the globetrotting duo, who fire up the shredder, grease the mangle and deliver four freshly pulped dancefloor treats. It’s all about that New York Noise on the A-side as the In Flagranti boys cut and paste no-wave, new wave, deep disco and post punk into two superbly sleazy leftfield grooves. The A1 sees a perfectly danceable post punk bassline emerge from a dubby proto house soundscape, setting the stage perfectly for the gently jacking breakdown and pitched down vocals. It’s the sonic equivalent of hearing a lost Arthur Baker mix on some very good drugs. The A2 brings the strut and shimmy of disco to the table, recalling the rough and ready brilliance of their killer Chic edit, before veering off into the looped up land of high camp brilliance. On the flip we take a Boeing from the Big Apple to the Mother Continent as Alex and Sasha hit us with a one-two combo of African grooves. The B1 picks up Francis Bebey’s psychedelic sanza and runs with it straight into the lo fi grasslands of your most esoteric dancefloor moments with complete headturning brilliance. The B2 meanwhile is as close to a conventional edit as the Swiss duo come, stretching, filtering and reworking a discofied Afrobeat original into an insistent dancefloor groove that’s going right to the front of my record box. – piccadillyrecords.com


When it comes to hitting that sweet spot between deep house and dark disco with a little bit of fun, no one does it better than In Flagranti. This first release for the Codek label this year is this Spiritus Rector Vol 1, a four-track which provides a collection of individually different productions. The first is a minimal drum track, made deep by a synth then exhumed from the deep with a funky bassline and sing-a-long lyrics. The A2 is stripped back, spaghetti western-tinged disco, while the flipside offers Hype Williams-like steel drums and tribalisms and chic yet quirky Euro disco funk like something from Paul McCartney’s McCartney II album. – juno.co.uk



The return of the dirty disco Dons. In Flagranti deliver some of the filthiest disco edits to comes around these parts in minute on Spiritus Rector Vol. 1. Alex Gloor & Sasha Crnobrnja built their name on sleazy tracks (and even sleazier artwork), so you best believe they got what it takes to make the dancefloor lose all inhibitions and get nasty. Check the sound on four unnamed edits, ranging from super fly debauchery (Track 4 & 2), dungeon disco (Track 1), and coke-charged conga line tunes (Track 3). – Gichy Stan / turntablelab.com


If there is such a thing as a SPRITUS RECTOR, i would put my faith in the new In Flagranti release in a blink of the eye. Wandering through musical age and genre, In Flagranti selects the flickering gold from the mud. The duo inspired many. This record does not compromise. It is a question. Whether you want to step on to the dancefloor, wherever that may conveniently or shamelessly be. – Murielle Victorine Scherre. designer-owner la fille d’O. obsessive shredder at life. lafilledo.com
