Citizens Of Vice Returns with ‘Meraki’ – A Collection of Eclectic Aural Delights

After a short break to recover from our previous sonic explorations, Citizens Of Vice is back with Meraki Vol 2—a captivating mini-compilation showcasing an eclectic blend of sounds, each crafted with passion and soul.

The title, Meraki, is a Greek word with no direct English translation, but it perfectly captures the essence of this release and the artists behind it. It signifies pouring a part of yourself—your creativity, love, musical soul, and spirit—into your work. This sentiment resonates deeply with everyone involved in the project.

Bringing their unique artistry to the collection are Secret Soul Society, Mass Density Human, Something Sanctified, Ed Mahon, Lanowa and Gus Paterson—each offering a distinct sonic perspective, from Balearic to Italo, disco, and beyond.

Expect a diverse and immersive listening experience that truly embodies the ethos of Meraki.

The 10th edition of The Golden Ravedays album will be released on Hippie Dance in October 2017. The album unveils two tracks that are distinctly different in zeal but both transmitting spooky and thrilling male voices adding a sense of humorous horror. These two tracks are testament of Superpitcher’s ability to skillfully merge depth and playfulness.

Side A is Rock N Roll Baby. Could it be that someone with a curious but naïve mind had the courage to ask the scariest man in the club, no the world, about the origin of music? The answer rides on a tribal beat, escalates to Armageddon-like heights and an eerie voice repeatedly assures us that it’s all Rock N Roll Baby.

J.Staaf & Z1 - Drop The Hook

Dancefloor endurance masters Duro return fresh from their fourth anniversary celebrations with the return of one of their most enigmatic artists: AMBIANCE

Inspired by film scores, analogue machines and the twists and turns of existence, the Nicaraguan-born, Miami-raised, LA-based artist has hit the spot twice on the Mexican label before. Now he's taken that spot and shot it right into the heart of the sun. Make way for 'Electronic Emergency'…

Channelling the high voltage spirit of Kraftwerk with booming 808 subs, icy Street Sounds flavoured breaks and a touch of lyrical poignancy no one can ignore, 'Electronic Emergency' is a nuclear electro jam for modern day escapism. It comes with some explosive remixes, too: Rigopolar switches the beats to four-four juggernauts and swathes the original's magic in heavy cosmic layers while Kincaid continues his impeccable vein of form with a moodier perspective, loaded with far-gazing synth spirals, tidal washes and slippery icicle arpeggios.

And the shivers continue as we huddle closer for the sweaty, dancefloor gem 'That Crisp Night'. A turbo cosmic boogie vibe loaded with sizzling synth slap bass and humanised keys, once again / AMBIANCE doesn't just hit the spot; this time he smashes it to analogue pieces. Good night!

Much like its associated club, Live At Robert Johnson not only features seasoned veterans, but likewise emerging talents and those already paving their way with quality productions. Victor’s production style tells much about his ongoing collaborations with one of bespoke veterans, Gerd Janson, providing countless remixes and edits as a tag team on labels such als Running Back and Permanent Vacation.

Taking their inspirations from a sonic array of UK Synth Pop, Balearic beats and Italo Disco, Victor Shan’s LARJ debut 4-track EP reveres nights spent at the Robert Johnson club: from the dancefloor to the studio. Lush detuned synths, deep basslines sometimes lingering down below, and upfront beats—they all catch the vibe of a wooden dancefloor to be found at Nordring 131 in Offenbach. An exclusive bonus track awaits those who buy the digital EP, and is well worth getting both vinyl and digital.
