about

Unreleased Goa Records is honored to release “Cyber Realities”, the second Goa Trance journey written by German veteran Captain Unplugged between 1995 and 1999. Marc Kruska started making music at the age of 12 and taught himself drums and guitar. He programmed the first sequences with a Commodore C64. In the early 90’s he played in a locally known goth band called “The Guanavaana”. As an active scenester, by the mid-90’s he followed the trend of goths going to local trance and goa parties. Marc was also working at a record shop, where he had access to all kinds of releases available in Germany. He became increasingly interested in Goa Trance and bought every record by the golden-age labels TIP, Transient, Matsuri, Blue Room, Spirit Zone, Nephilim and others that very few remember today.

In 1995, Marc made a decision to produce Goa music under different monikers: “Kware”, “Athari”, “Zauberwald”, “Latenzfrei”, and “Captain Unplugged” (this name came up when someone misread his handwriting and Marc found the result fitting when read out loud). At that time, he lived together with other musicians in a shared flat. Among his flatmates was Frank Beckers (Space Safari, Export Audio, D-Nox & Beckers and others), with whom he shared the same equipment and created a home studio.

The nine Captain Unplugged tracks featured in “Cyber Realities” were influenced by many genres, especially electro and EBM that Marc found stylistically close to Goa Trance and the atmosphere of the parties at the time. Marc performed as a DJ at small events and, together with a friend, had his own party series called “Levitation”. He did not however play his early productions live at stage nor performed as Captain Unplugged before 2000. This album contains tracks which were never made available before, except for “30°S Free”, originally licensed by Nephilim Records. More unpublished material by Marc’s side-project “Kware” are expected from Unreleased Goa Records in the future.

This is fucking good stuff bro. I just like how it's so filled, varied, playfull and alive, but not too busy like much newer oldskool trance can be. The sounds are just good, the vibes are epic. I'm pretty much in love with this. Have been dancing in the living room and will do so more and more for many days to come. The world needs more of this!!! <3 Update 30-06-22: Yeh, this stuff is so f***ing groovy and mind melting, it only gets better <3 Dance Baby! DO try on different sound systems.YUM Helixir Jos

First Breath
by Tangerine

Tangerine explores the outer edges of electronic music, writing songs that hum and throb, full of eerie, staticky textures. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 10, 2022

Infinite just puts it out there.. keeping his style fluid, using different sounds available but always finding that Goa vibe. melodic, strong grooves that pick the listener/dancer up and carry them along. Andy Sampson
