Feature Draft: In Flagranti – Raw Substance (Original Mix)
"Raw Substance" (Original Mix) is the title track of the by the Swiss-born, New York-inspired duo In Flagranti (Sasa Crnobrnja and Alex Gloor). Released in October 2022 on the Mexican label Calypso Records , the track is a masterclass in the duo's signature "cut-and-paste" aesthetic, blending chugging electronic disco with raw, DIY sensibilities.
Clocking in at 6:24 with a hypnotic tempo of 115 BPM , the Original Mix of "Raw Substance" is built on a rolling, tribal backbeat punctuated by jungle soundscapes. True to In Flagranti's reputation for deep, disco-laced house, the track features funk-inspired male vocal chants—"give me your love"—and indecipherable female vocal snips that weave through thick, atmospheric synth swirls. It is a track designed for "nocturnal moods," leaning into the sleazy, off-kilter disco for which the duo is renowned.
