After several attempts of trying to release mixtapes and remixes with the proper licensing without the expense of having a trailing record company contract. DJ Sebastian Louis and DJ MezzoForte (now DJ Flashback) started Vicious Recordings as an independent label with a recording studio in Topanga, CA. After not being able to afford the lease of the building, the company relocated to a larger building with a cheaper lease outside of Bakersfield, CA. The label is home to the Blue Sunrise releases and several remixes by DJ Sebastian Louis. In Summer 2007, Vicious Recordings began recruiting local bands from the area of San Luis Obispo, CA beginning with punk-act, Not Worth Mentioning. By Spring 2008, DJ Flashback established Vicious Recordings Remixing Service and Biggie Records as remixing service labels of hits featured in the Blue Sunrise compilations and several promos for DJ's. With the success of the promos, he launced "Pretty Cady Records" as a sublabel which re-released dance hits promotionally for DJ's without edits. To this day, the label still recruits local acts from the area of San Luis Obispo - Santa Barbara, CA.
