Codek Records started its journey in 1996 in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York. The disco-punk rooted label was set up by Swiss duo, In Flagranti. From funky Japanese-tinged sounds of In Flagranti’s ‘Kachi Kachi (Unreleased Funky Mix)’ (feat. Ayakamay) right the way through to In Flagranti’s dark, paranoia-inducing Chicago house trip ‘Voices In My Head (Innovative Treatment Mix)’ (feat. Andrew Edward Brown), Codek continues to push the boundaries of its idiosyncratic sound.
Review: Back in November Andrew Edward Brown made his bow on Codek with a fine single remixed by label chiefs In Flagranti. Here he pays back the favour, adding his distinctive vocals to a fresh In Flagranti track. "Voices In My Head" comes in two distinctly different flavours, with In Flagranti providing vocal and instrumental versions of each mix. The EP-opening "Innovative Treatment" mix takes a typically eccentric approach to vintage Chicago house, with weirdo electronics and creepy but melodic chimes providing an interesting counter-point to Brown's Robert Owens style vocal. The "Overwhelming Response" mix is an altogether more energetic affair fired by sweaty disco drums, mazy synth solos and swirling chords. When you add in Brown's vocals there's a lot going on, which only adds to the track's druggy feel.
