New Dance Again Label Launches With Soul Central Reworks

Words: Charlotte Grieve

November 12, 2026

Dance Again Music launches as a fresh imprint dedicated to forward-thinking House music for modern dance floors. Founded by Vicious Recordings co-founders Andy Van (Madison Avenue / Super Disco Club) and acclaimed Australian DJ and music industry stalwart John Course, the label combines contemporary production with the timeless spirit of House, championing emerging talent and established artists.

The launch follows 34 years at the helm of Vicious Recordings, where the duo helped shape Australian and international dance music, delivering over 800 releases and taking Australian talent to global audiences. Their debut release, featuring remixes of Soul Central’s iconic ‘Strings Of Life / Un Amore Supremo’ by Melbourne producer Sgt Slick and Super Disco Club, arrived on 6 November 2026.

Dance Again Music will focus on House, while sister imprint Rave Again will explore tougher Tech House and club sounds. Both labels are now welcoming demos from producers.

John Course Comments:

“Dance Again is our house-focused label while sister imprint Rave Again will handle the tougher tech house and club sounds… We want to ensure we get some really fresh, forward-thinking music out on the two imprints, so if you’re a producer then get your demos into us”.

For their inaugural release, the duo revisit one of House music’s most celebrated anthems, bringing together two distinctive remixes alongside the acclaimed RAW Mix and the acapella of ‘Un Amore Supremo’.

Andy Van Comments:

“Strings of Life is such an incredible record and we couldn’t resist the opportunity to release new remixes of such a special house music anthem. I even added my own Super Disco Club remix to the package!”

Sgt Slick delivers a powerful Nu Disco rework, while Super Disco Club brings its signature disco-driven energy. Already making an impact, Sgt Slick’s remix topped the Traxsource main chart and entered the ARIA Club Chart in its first week, sitting at number 2 alongside releases from HUGEL, Imael Angel, Ultra Naté, Dom Dolla, Solomun and Skepta.

The release has attracted support from leading international DJs, including Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, Joseph Capriati, Claptone, Tom Novy, Basement Jaxx, Josh Baker, Mark Knight, Judge Jules, Dom Bresky and Mista Jam.

Sgt Slick Comments:

“Some records occupy a special place in the history of House music, and Soul Central’s ‘Strings of Life’ is undoubtedly one of them. It was a massive honour to be handed the keys to such a classic and given the chance to put my own spin on a record that has meant so much to so many people.”

A fixture in dance music for more than two decades, Sgt Slick has achieved multiple No.1s across Billboard, Music Week, ARIA, Beatport and Traxsource. His ARIA Gold-certified rework of ABBA’s ‘Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!’ became Beatport’s highest-selling Nu Disco release of all time in 2020, cementing his reputation for transforming classics into contemporary club hits.

Soul Central are best known for ‘Strings Of Life (Stronger On My Own)’ featuring Kathy Brown, voted the fourth greatest dance record of all time by BBC Radio 1 listeners in 2008. Licensed from CENTRL Music, ‘Strings Of Life / Un Amore Supremo’ has since become a fixture at iconic events, from Ibiza’s legendary opening and closing parties to clubs in Miami and Melbourne.

The project also builds on the founders’ extensive legacy in dance music. For more than three decades, Andy Van and John Course have been at the helm of Vicious Recordings, one of Australia’s leading dance labels, with over 1,000 releases and a track record of working with some of the world’s biggest dance and electronic artists, including Carl Cox, David Guetta, Tiësto, Dom Dolla and Mark Knight. Vicious was also the first label to sign and develop Avicii, releasing his first nine records, and helped launch the international success of Madison Avenue, whose hit ‘Don’t Call Me Baby’ topped the UK charts.

Matt, Soul Central & Head of CENTRL Music Comments:

“We’ve worked with John and Andy on various releases over the years and have always shared their passion for putting music first. Their legacy in dance music speaks for itself, having helped shape scenes, champion incredible artists and deliver some of the biggest dance records over the decades. It’s a real honour to collaborate with them on this exciting new chapter for Dance Again, kicking things off with such a seminal record, reimagined with fresh mixes for a new generation. Having been born in Australia myself, the connection runs even deeper, making it all the more meaningful to be part of their next chapter.”

Looking ahead, Dance Again Music brings together Andy Van and John Course’s decades of industry experience with a renewed vision for House music. A launch event is scheduled for mid-December, bringing together artists, DJs and fans to celebrate the imprint and its first release.
