Berlin-based producer Cioz returns to Stil vor Talent with “No Justice No Peace”, a powerful two-track EP arriving July 31, 2026.

Blending raw emotion with infectious club energy, the release pairs a politically charged title track with the wild, playful counterpart “Lizard King”, showcasing two complementary sides of the Italian artist’s ever-evolving sound.

Inspired by witnessing mass protests in Seattle, “No Justice No Peace” transforms a moment of collective frustration into an uplifting yet uncompromising dancefloor statement. Built around a melody created on Cioz’s Novation Summit and reshaped through layers of resampling and sound design, the track balances warmth with grit, hope with urgency, creating a club record that resonates emotionally without sacrificing momentum.

On the flip side, “Lizard King” embraces a more spontaneous spirit. Finished entirely on a laptop during a flight from Seattle to San Diego, the track trades political weight for playful unpredictability, delivering bouncy grooves, offbeat character and the unmistakable sense of fun that has become a hallmark of Cioz’s productions.

Born in Bergamo and now based in Berlin, Cioz has built a reputation for music that is both emotionally rich and unmistakably original. With acclaimed releases on Crosstown Rebels, Monaberry, Frau Blau and Stil vor Talent, alongside remixes for artists including Diplo, Damian Lazarus, Oliver Koletzki and Patrice Bäumel, he continues to blur the lines between musicality and dancefloor functionality. His celebrated live performances have taken him from Fusion Festival and AfrikaBurn to clubs and festivals across Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa and the Americas.
