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.

IN FLAGRANTI – biography – www.myspace.com/inflagranti

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.

From the electronic Disco sound of Gorgio Moroder, Patric Cowley to punkfunk of Liquid Liquid, A Certain Ratio and more contemporary sounds of todays dance music, “Wronger Than Everyone Else” is a erotic funny collage of all the above. Whilst restricted distribution in the past and limited pressings has meant that previous releases have slipped somewhat under the radar, a buzz has been steadily building as many known djs (ivan smagghe, trevor jackson, cloe, steve kotey…) are playing the records and the name appears on many playlists and compilations world wide. Described by xlr8r magazine as “rare grooves from another planet”, the critics have been favorable.

3rd Year Anniversary

FRI.11.JUN.2010 11PM at Trump Room, Shibuya

Tokyo’s leading U.K. event, LONDON CALLING turns THREE years old on June 11th, 2010! From La Fabrique to Warehouse 702 and now at TRUMP ROOM which is located in the heart of Shibuya, London Calling has continued to bring you cutting edge artists from Europe to mix it up with some of the hottest local talent that Tokyo has to offer for three straight years! In recent years, clubbers have experienced an evolution, some would say a revolution, as barriers between the house, electro, techno, indie, disco and even hip hop genres and cultures have come crashing down. We are thrilled that you have stayed with us on our journey from Electro with Zombie Nation to Techno with Monika Kruse and most recently, Disco with Disco Blood Bath and beyond! From our nights of dancing at Club Triangle in Osaka nearly five years ago, to the big city lights of Tokyo, London Calling has faithfully based itself upon London’s underground club scene which has consistently pioneered new sounds, urban movements and social scenes as well as adhering to the punk ethos of DIY that was so passionately expressed by the Clash.

It is that very spirit that can be found at London Calling where the crowd, music, DJs and venue all combine to create something very special. That special thing is a place for good people to come together in the pursuit of good times. London Calling is a night that will let you set aside your worries, live for the moment and dance like you don’t have a choice.

The line-up brings together forward thinking international and local underground DJs who are always ready to tear the roof off.

So come join us at Trump Room, our new home which has three rooms to offer you with varying styles in music that will keep you on the dance floor as we continue to push the boundaries with hard beats, melodic synths and massive bass lines! As we turn THREE, we offer you the god father of house music, DJ Nori from Gallery, Tokyo’s top House nite, as our headliner in the Red Room. Along side Nori we are equally thrilled to have for the first time, Marshall from Solid and returning to London Calling for his second time to lead the Black Room we have Rhythm Droid of Bunny fame! The White Room will be headed by BBC one more time to bring you those chill house vibes with a bit of eroticism as a side dish! Finally, London Calling’s resident bad boy will close the night out as things get very dirty at the tail end of the night! Another night of 3 rooms for our 3 year anniversary

東京のUKクラブシーンを率いるLONDON CALLINGは2010年6月11日に3周年目を迎えます。La Fabriqueに始まりWarehouse 702を経て現在のTRUMP ROOMに至るまで、LONDON CALLINGは3年間続けてヨーロッパ最先端のアーティストと日本の一番ホットなDJ達がミックスするイベントを開催してきました。エレクトロからテクノ、そしてディスコから今後挑戦する新しいスタイルへの音楽旅行において、皆様の熱い支持を受けて大変感激しています。

新しいホームとなるTRUMP ROOMではレッド・ブラック・ホワイトの3部屋でそれぞれ個性的な音楽スタイルを繰り広げ、ハードビーツ、メロディックシンス、深いベースにより音楽世界をさらに開拓していきます。3週年目を記念してレッドルームにはGalleryのDJ NORIをゲストに迎え、東京シーンを率いるハウスナイトを展開します。ブラックルームにはLONDON CALLING2回目の登場となるBUNNYのRHYTHM DROID、そしてホワイトルームではBBCのチルアウトなハウスと、エロスをテーマにした演出をお楽しみいただけます。

スペシャルな3部屋での3周年記念日。また忘れられない夜となることでしょう。

“Disco is dead, long live disco!”

London Calling calling, Tokyo’s leading underground London club night, is bringing the disco revolution to Japan with London Calling ft Disco Bloodbath on February 13th, 2010 at Warehouse 702. The guest spot from the Disco Bloodbath gang heralds a new beginning for London Calling and the Tokyo club scene, leaving behind the well worn (threaded?) paths of the electro and techno scene for pastures old yet new. Those lucky enough to have made it down to one of the Disco Bloodbath parties in London will know what we are talking about… and if you haven’t, it’s about time to take the chance with their Japan debut on the horizon. With special guest visuals from the legendary www.everythingisterrible.com you’re going to have to hear it AND see it to believe it.

The Disco Bloodbath gang (Ben Pistor and Damon Martin, along with Dan Beaumont) have injected a much needed sense of fun into the London clubbing scene over the last couple of years with their now legendary parties and sets at other clubbing institutions like Bugged Out, Secret Sundaze and Horse Meat Disco. Famed for their friendly, colourful atmosphere and unique blend of revivalist disco and house, Disco Bloodbath parties never fail to go off and will have even the most stubborn cynic on the dancefloor before long. Their parties have been hyped by every dance publication, website and blog as well as Time Out and The Times. They boys are quickly establishing themselves as producers extraordinaire in the new disco scene with a slew of exceptional remixes and productions. Disco Bloodbath comes to Japan for the very first time at London Calling, heralding a new dawn for the underground club scene.

VJ: David Roy

London Calling is excited to announce the return of the empress of the Berlin Techno scene, Monika Kruse at Berlin Calling. Monika will be supported by some of Tokyo’s finest Techno DJ talent in Rennie Foster, Hina, Ryosuke Kimura and resident Mike Munoz.

覚悟はいいか？

DJ, producer, party host and label impresario Monika Kruse is a genuine legend of the Techno scene. Following her credo of Techno Funk, she has been working dance floors from Chicago to Berlin and Tokyo since the age of 16, playing a central role in German club culture since 1991. Monika Kruse first made her mark in Munich with a residency at Parkcafé and as part of the crew of the city’s seminal Ultraschall club. Since joining the international DJ circuit in the mid-nineties she has not looked back with a residency at the Fuse in Belgium, a role as ambassador of German dance culture for the Goethe-Institut, regular appearances at Wire Japan’s largest rave and at clubs and festivals the world over (Panoramabar/Berghain, Womb, Loveparade, Dancevalley, Mayday, Sensation White, Rex, Watergate) alongside the industry’s finest DJs (Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, Takkyu Ishino the list goes on).

Since moving from Munich back to her native Berlin, Monika Kruse’s DJ sets have enjoyed continuous popularity in the world capital of Techno, as have her production exploits. Monika Kruse began producing her own tracks in 1995 and has consistently delivered floor-fillers such as the summer of 2000 hit Latin Lovers, as well as numerous other remixes and collaborations. Her 2008 album Changes of Perception, a collaboration with Cocoon hotshot Gregor Tresher, has gained acclaim with Mix Mag, Carl Cox and Pete Tong all giving big props. Monika Kruse setup the first of her two labels Terminal M in 2000, seeing releases from the likes of DJ Rush, Miss Kittin, Patrick Lindsey to mention a few and then Electric Avenue Recordings in 2003 featuring productions from Tobi Neumann, Martini Brös, Liebe Ist Cool and more.

For Monika Kruse being a DJ has always meant hosting her own parties, starting in Munich in Ultraschall, in tramways or even military exercise areas. These days she’s running the Electric Avenue Nights in various clubs in Berlin. Techno and the club scene are more than pure hedonism to Monika Kruse: With her No Historical Backspin project she combines her passion for music with a straight statement against racism and intolerance. Monika Kruse was recently voted as one of the best 4 German DJs, next to Sven Väth and Paul van Dyk, in Germany´s biggest electronic magazine, Raveline.

“Music just makes me happy” Monika Kruse explains the simple source of her inspiration. This inspiration, thought and passion translates into the legendary extended DJ sets she delivers the world over.

WIREやTaicoclubといった日本のフェスティバルを筆頭に、世界中のビッグパーティーでプレイ経験を持つ世界でもトップクラスのDJ。16歳から ミュンヘンにてDJ活動を開始し、Parkcafeや名門Ultrashallにてプレイ。90年代半ばには、すでに世界中を飛び回るDJとなっていた。90年代後半には活動拠点をベルリンに移し、プロデューサーとしての制作活動もスタート。2000年のヒットアンセム’Latin Lovers’をはじめ、数々のリミックスやコラボレーショントラックをリリースしている。Cocoonの新鋭プロデューサーGregor Tresherとの初コラボレーションを果たした最新アルバム”Changes of Perception”は、Mix Mag誌、Carl Cox、Pete Tongなどから高い評価を受けている。2000年には自身初のレーベルTerminal Mを設立。DJ Rush、Miss Kittin、Patrick Lindseyなどのトラックをリリースしてきている。また、2003年にはElectric Avenue Recordingsをスタート。こちらのレーベルからはTobi Neumann、Martini Brös、Liebe Ist Coolなどのリリースを行っている。

DJとしてだけではなく、パーティープロモーターとしても活躍中の彼女は、クラブだけではなく駅や軍基地など多岐にわたる場所でパーティーをホストしている。現在ベルリンの様々なクラブにてレーベルパーティー「Electric Avenue Nights」を開催中。テクノとクラブシーンをこよなく愛する彼女は、2000年に【No Historical Backspin】プロジェエクトをスタート。人種差別に反対する強い意志を示し続けており、Frank Muller、Move D、Mijk van Dijk、Andre Galluzziなど数々のDJからも支持されている。最近ではドイツの人気クラブ誌【Raveline】がおこなったドイツ人DJランキングにて、Sven Vath、Paul van Dykに次いでTOP4にランクインした。

「音楽があればハッピーになれる」という彼女の音に対する熱い情熱、クオリティーの高いプレイにて、これからも世界中のフロアーを熱狂させ続けることだろう。
