'Marble' was produced in 1997 by a guy from Amsterdam. It became known years after, when it was included in a keygen software for Ableton Live. The author himself found out about this fact just a couple of years ago.
The track was available to anyone on Mod Archive, yet still we felt there was a reason it should appear on CRUISE compilation as it reflects the spirit of the time we all cherish and try to recreate at our parties.
We've reached the author and asked whether he'd like to release this track officially. We found out Hans was only 15 when he wrote 'Marble'. Not only he gave us his blessing, but also did a new mixdown of the track for CRUISE tape, almost 25 years later!

CRUISE is a Moscow-based night that focuses on 90s finest — old school hip-hop, garage house, breakbeat hardcore and jungle. Every once in a while local vinyl enthusiasts, artists and radio hosts from Wax Ninja crew (Artem Xio, Foxxylove and MB4) and Tiger Balms crew (Skye, Fine) gather nostalgic music lovers so that they can cruise through different BPMs and genres in a home-like atmosphere.

This release is the essence of CRUISE captured on tape: 15 tracks from the crème de la crème of the Russian underground scene. A full-scale journey into the sound of drum machines, analog synths, obscure samples and what not; a heart-warming homage to music from New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Detroit, London, Manchester, Essex, Bristol and different cities across Italy.

N-Tone, Maxi Skratch and Luge are there with their beats and scratches; HI TOP and Osipenko Bus Stop (Ant To Be when he makes jungle) deliver some proper UKG; Keroz and DJ 0000 (DJ 1985’s alter ego) are going deep and melodic; Cream Soda, BRTS, Scruscru & S.Timoshenko and Heavy Blunt fill this tape with house bangers; Artem Xio, Mix Master Kutyma, FTRRLT alongside Amsterdam native Reactor Grits do breakbeat and drum’n’bass. And don’t forget about the funny skits that turn this compilation into an 90s style album that tells a story.

To make your CRUISE even more real — this tape release was enriched with an olfactory dimension: look out for a scented scratch & sniff card inside your box!

PREMIERE: Reactor Grits — Marble (2022 Mix)(Cruise Records, 2022)

Before I start releasing new music next year, I have to let go of one thing first. 

Not many people know, but last year in April I lost all my project files (thanks Dropbox backup!). My entire project folder, and everything that I worked on for the past three years were instantly wiped out. This included what would have been my second album. Written during the pandemic, It was not yet finished but I had almost 25 demos to pick from.

At first I was deeply upset and sad for days. Eventually I started to get over it: I was never fully into the album – I liked it but also had my doubts, that it wasn’t as strong as my first album – I didn’t know how it would’ve been received, as it sounded like nothing else I’d released. So I put it aside, tried to move on with my life, eventually forgot about it.

Seven months later, my mum was taken into biopsy for suspected stomach cancer. During that time I stumbled upon that forgotten album. I remember listening to it on repeat after all those months; it helped me get through one of the most difficult times of my life. 

Fortunately, my mum has recovered now, but this incident made me realise that this project can’t sit on my hard drive forever. In these trying times, I believe it's worth sharing this music with the world, hoping it can bring some positivity and comfort to those who listen.

So here it is, Stella Remota. What was for me a light guiding me out of the darkness. What would have been my 2nd album, now for you all to enjoy. 

Thanks for your support, as always. Lots of music coming in 2024.

PS: Bandcamp Friday is in two days. All the money generate from this release on the day will go towards Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP)

BORN TO BE MISUSED... A MACHINE IS CREATED... THE REAL LIFE BIOWEAPON: FUSED WITH WIRES, METAL, PYROTECHNICS, THE REAL WALKING BOMB... IT SCREAMS, CRIES FOR THE BECKONING OF PURE AND UTTER CHAOS. THROWN AWAY, CONSIDERED A CLASSIFIED FAILURE, BUT KEPT AMONG THE MASSES... WHEN THE DESTRUCTION STARTED PEOPLE WERE ONLY LEFT TO WONDER... WAS THIS MEANT TO HAPPEN?

A FAILURE OF THE INSTITUTION TO SECURE ITS WEAPONRY... A WEAPON BORN TO BE MISUSED FINDS ITS NEW PURPOSE: THE REAL LIFE BIOWEAPON. THE WEAPON OF A NEW ERA!! FUCK!! ITS A BEAUTIFUL FEELING... THE METAL TEETH SHINE IN THE SUN AS IT BITES DOWN ON ITS OWN FLESH BICEP.. TEARING IT APART TO REVEAL THE CORROSIVE ACID IT BLEEDS... VIOLENCE IS THE TRUE NATURE OF THIS MACHINE. IT WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO SPREAD... THIS MACHINE IS NOTHING OTHER THAN THE VIRUS OF COMPLETE AND TOTAL DESTRUCTION.
