Citizens Of Vice returns for 2026 following a relocation from its Jura base in France to the Yorkshire moors. The move marks a new chapter for the label, while maintaining its focus on Balearic, disco and eclectic electronica. Following the success of his previous EP, The Lake, the label welcomes back BAL 5000, aka Balint Forgacs. The Lake reached No.1 on Juno Download in the Nu Disco, Balearic and Electro charts, appeared across numerous DJ charts, radio shows and podcasts, and sullied many a dance floor along the way. The new EP, Bukit Days, is inspired by Balints long-standing connection to Bali, its surf culture, beach bars, clubs and surrounding wildlife. The tracks reflect the different sides of the island: early sessions by the sea, long afternoons, and nights that drift from bars into dancefloors. While the overall BAL 5000 sound remains consistent, the EP introduces subtle shifts in mood and energy. Each track brings its own character but sits comfortably alongside its brethren, making Bukit Days feel cohesive from start to finish. Bukit Days continues the momentum of BAL 5000s recent output and sets the tone for Citizens Of Vices 2026 schedule.

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.
