Music pieces by Russian duo The Cruising (Yula Vovk and Sergei Demidov) are not that easy to identify, both style and time-wise. Funky vibes of the 1970s and 1980s are generously mixed with techno and peppered with unconventional live instruments, vocals, and flirting with rock and roll. Throw in ambitions of new genre creators, and you get a fantastic creature, a techno-funky-rock unicorn. The Wise And Weird EP features four of the duo’s original versions ranging from groovy indie dance to funky techno to acid house. Nottingham dons Coyote (Is It Balearic?) turn in a lovely laid back tripped out remix from deep within their Balearic realm.
