#16 Feat. Banner in Downtempo

Citizens of Vice proudly return with release number 60 a record thats been in the works for quite some time. This latest EP comes from Bali-based DJ/live outfit Gold Suite, marking a fresh shift in their sound and style. Well let Gold Suite tell you more about it below. These two tunes were written back in January, when after a busy December of night-time DJ gigs, we were really needing to sink our teeth into something other than house and disco in the January downtime. I started to get interested in 70s library music, loving the idea that these tunes were thrust into existence in a matter of hours, to then take on a new, long life as a fundamental part of something bigger. I had in my mind the idea of composing incidental music for a resort that was lost in time. Laura was learning to play the bass guitar at the time so we got to it. Analog Swell was recorded very quickly, originally with a drum machine that was later replaced with a mono drum kit. Coast Along came later, and was the first Gold Suite recording with vocals. This felt like a real turning point, as these simple compositions could suddenly become so much more evocative. Simple, no frills, and mixable if you really want to. We hope you enjoy them. Joey & Laura (Gold Suite) The EP will be released on Citizens Of Vice on Nov 7th and is completed with remixes from Idjut Boys Dan Tyler and Sheffields finest Yarni.
