Vicious Recordings

Vicious was born in 1992 and has stood strong and steady as the dance music industry has gone from a vinyl led underground movement to a global, digitally distributed and streamed phenomenon. In that time there have literally been hundreds of releases on the labels, the original imprint founded in a back yard shed out of a passion for the music… That passion which is still vibrant if you talk to co-founders John Course and Andy Van, or any of the people that help make the label tick.

Vicious Recordings - Australian’s leading Dance Label, home to artists who began their careers at Vicious include Madison Avenue, Avicii, Sgt Slick, Dirty South & Peking Duk, and have worked with many of the world’s biggest artists including Purple Disco Machine, Dom Dolla, Don Diablo, David Penn, Mark Knight, Joshwa, Cassim and many, many more.

Vicious has released over 1000 releases & the family includes: Vicious Recordings, Be Rich Records, Exceed, Extrovert, Ugenius Music and Valiant Records
