The collective known as the Vicious Circle began life in a flat in South London in 2003. Born out of a mutual love of all things Drum & Bass and with a wide range of influences, VC set out to make an impact on the ever growing worldwide DnB scene.
Five years have passed since those early hedonistic days and in that time Vicious Circle have become one of the leading lights in UK Drum & Bass.
As a production outfit, Vicious Circle have made their name through a strict quality over quantity approach to their releases.
It all started with their massive remix of pioneering outfit Universal Project’s ‘Jackhammer’ which caught the attention of legendary label Renegade Hardware as well as a number of A-List Dj’s such as Pendulum and Friction.
Rarely has such a strong debut been seen and the track immediately catapulted VC to the forefront of the ‘leaders of the new school’ category and they have steadily built on that early success with a number of key releases.
Tracks such as ‘Hellrazor’ on UP Recordings, ‘Between the Lines’ on Renegade Hardware’s Carpe Diem LP, ‘Bleak’ on Trace’s DSCi4 imprint and of course their highly anticipated debut Hardware artist EP ‘Welcome to Shanktown’ have set a standard in terms of production quality and sheer dance floor energy that few have matched.
Their talents have led to a number of high profile collaborations with the likes of Ram Records hit makers Chase & Status, the legendary Dom & Roland and new skool hero Sabre to name a few. A growing reputation as remixers with the magic touch has spawned a number of smashers such as their monstrous take on Mindscape & Chris SU’s ‘Planet X’ with RymeTyme and has also alerted the likes of Ed Rush & Optical and Cause 4 Concern so expect to see VC grace Virus & C4C Recordings in the near future.
Vicious Circle continue to destroy the myth that producers generally can’t DJ with regular highly acclaimed appearances at events such as Renegade Hardware at The End, Breakin Science, Therapy Sessions, Innovation in the Sun and Def:Inition as well as a hectic worldwide DJ schedule that has seen them put pins in the globe everywhere from Atlanta to Zagreb!
Radio appearances on Pyro Radio and BBC 1xtra to name a few have also been warmly received and have helped VC gain a strong fan base across the globe.
The future is looking bright for the London crew with a solid stack of releases covering the full DnB spectrum lined up over the coming months including material for DnB godfather Shy Fx’s Digital Soundboy imprint and Kasra’s forward thinking Critical Music amongst others. A debut artist album alongside Universal Project is scheduled to drop towards the end of the year with early tracks receiving huge support from the scene’s big dogs and 2009 could also see VC launching their own label.
So with a new found versatility to their productions giving them the tools to bridge the gap between the ever growing sub-genres of our scene, Vicious Circle could well become the new heroes of Drum & Bass. Watch this space.
