Mariano Mateljan and Madezh founded the Cruise collective back in 2012 to host renowned DJs from various aspects of the electronic music scene, such as Archie Hamilton, Enzo Siragusa, Brawther, Alexis Cabrera and many others. Cruise’s signature event is a unique combination of groove, house, garage, techno and electronica, sub-genres of electronic music that are a reflection of everything they create as producers and artists.
Mariano Mateljan is the owner of the record label u.dig, and he recently released a compilation of 200 loops called Hyper Minimal Funk Vol.1. His first breakthrough came in 2013 with a release on FUSE sub-label Infuse, and concerts at FUSE events in London and Ibiza further strengthened his reputation leading to more appearances in famous clubs across Europe at Fabric (London), Club der Visionaere , Chalet (Berlin), Studio 76 (Madrid) and Das Zimmer (Mannheim) and is a frequent guest of the famous domestic festival Sonus.
Mateo Jeličić, stage name Madezh, has been on the scene since 2002. Few years ago he released on Jesus Loved You in collaboration with Valentino Kanzyani and Mariano Mateljan under the name Cruise On The Valkan, and last year he started his own record label Travel Light.
MJ Suddanni, a music lover, who recently released for record labels such as Affinity Lab and Tip Tap, joined the collective soon after, and will soon announce new collaborations.
