Cruise Music is an independent house music label founded in 2014 by Mark Funk and Danny Cruz, built around a blend of jackin', disco, and funky house. Created to provide a platform for producers from Serbia, the Adriatic region, and beyond, it became the leading house music label in Serbia and the Adriatic region within its first year and has been named Best Adriatic House Music Label of the Year. Its catalogue spans from 2014 to 2026 and includes a vinyl series called Cruise Music Vinyl Jams. Danny Cruz and Mark Funk serve as label owners and A&R/PR managers, and the label's releases have earned support from internationally recognized DJs, producers, promoters, radio stations, and music platforms.
