When The World Is So Busy

In Flagranti “Rather Sexy”

In Flagranti, true to their name, specialize in a sort of dance music that evokes an extremely horny atmosphere – seedy, humid, sticky, and louche. It’s ambient perversity. But there’s always a wink to it, a campiness that doesn’t cancel out the lust but instead amplifies it by amping up the perv factor and making you think “oh is this how the sleazes of the past did it?” “Rather Sexy” has a freaky churn to it that reminds me of a lot of Matthew Dear’s best work, but the dark claustrophobic tone is contrasted with a smooth vocal that’s urging us to chill out a bit. He seems like he ought to be wearing a silk robe and offering us “relaxants.” It really completes the vibe.
