PREMIERE : Bal5000 - The Lake (Pete Herbert Remix)

Having safely navigated a change of country, Citizens Of Vice is now fully settled into its new hideout. The mountain ranges of the Jura and Alps are behind us, replaced by the wild beauty of the Yorkshire Moors. But enough about scenery — let’s get back to what we do best: music. And next up... If you caught Sean Johnston’s recent ALFOS compilation, you’ll already know the name Bal5000, whose stunning track ‘Bleu Infini’ left a lasting impression. Bal5000 has also released on esteemed labels such as Dirt Crew Recordings and Emotional Especial. We’re now thrilled to announce his latest release, The Lake — a shimmering new cut that dives even deeper into his genre hopping sound. Alongside the title track are ‘Untitled Acid’ and ‘Untitled Electro’. As their names suggest, they explore acid and electro-infused vibes, all within the ever-evolving Citizens Of Vice sonic ethos. On remix duties, our long-term collaborator — and one of our absolute favourites — Pete Herbert (Music For Swimming Pools) delivers not one but two stellar reworks, each infused with his unmistakable style.
