James Alexandr - Playing With Knives (feat. PENELOPE)

"James Alexandr and PENELOPE team up for an electrifying re-spin of Bizarre Inc.’s 1991 classic ""Playing With Knives"". The track keeps the energy of iconic vocal loop and soaring top vocal trills from the original, while adding fresh breakbeat breakdowns and a contemporary house drop. This fusion of 90s rave and today’s house music creates a dynamic, high-energy anthem perfect for both old-school fans and today’s clubgoers.

Rubber People have jumped in on the action delivering a remix with the groove dialled all the way up. This version sticks to a more minimal bassline and repeating filtered stabs to lock you in before eventually giving the vocal it’s shining moment before pure house bliss.

Whether you're reliving the rave days or hearing it for the first time, this re-spin package is set to create memorable moments on the dance floor"

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.

You simply don't make it through the turbulent times of the music industry without your heart being in it…

Some of the most notable artists who began their careers at Vicious include Avicii, Dirty South, Peking Duk, multiple ARIA and IDMA winning group Madison Avenue and Sgt Slick
