Includes a Rune Lindbaek remix. A vinyl release on the Texas-based house label WHISKEY PICKLE.
The Cruising’s two cool customers, Yula Vovk and Sergei Demidov, make a remarkable return to Whiskey Pickle, and this time around on the label’s vinyl department. Even as Russians their original tune “Dispassion” has an NYC underground retro-futurism. Their blues vocal sampler, impressive bassline, and impeccable drum programming conjure an Arthur Russell guitar fascination and a cosmic disco weirdo Balearic rhythm exploration.
Malinovsky’s version is centered on a dusty deeper affair. The result is a soft percussive, melancholic remix with a darker synth-scape and intensely psychedelic Eastern echoes.
Rune Lindbæk’s talent and versatility completes the space between duets undefined DIY disco and house's general spectrum. His mix is a mesmerizing Balearic house reflection of the original. The Phil Harding-wise rhythm supported by an atmospheric trumpet and original's strings escapism.

A 12-inch from Moscow's THE CRUISING, influenced by ARTHUR RUSSELL and US underground disco. He launched his own label KRASAWA RECORDS in Moscow in 2013, and has also released on MISTER MISTERY, run by Brazil's ROTCIV. The original "Dispassion" takes flight on guitar, live-feeling drum samples and synthesizers. The "Malinovsky" mix blends dark tones, deepish grooves, and Japanese, Middle Eastern and Oriental melodies into a hypnotic reading, with the charm of a psychedelic world straight out of a 90s B-movie. B2 is a Rune Lindbæk remix: new age disco dub. A can't-miss remix. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
