Bizarre Inc were a house/dance-pop band from Stafford, England, that formed in 1989 as a duo of English DJs Dean Meredith and Mark &Aaron& Archer (not to be confused with the film producer of same name).

The group formed as Meredith and Archer formed a duo to start an acid-house/techno project under 'Blue Chip Records'. The first releases were (and still are) only available on 12'' vinyl: &It's Time To Get Funky& (BLUE C14R), later renamed to a mere &Time to Get Funky& (BLUE C14RR); and the 6-track debut album Technological, both written and produced by Meredith and Archer.

By 1990, Archer left Meredith to work as producer and writer with different house and techno projects, a greater part of which were for Network Records. He was also known as DJ Nex for a long time; later on he released material under names such as Mr. Nex, O.P.D., Xen Mantra; and others including Nexus 21 and Altern-8 with co-producer Chris Peat. Still in the same year, two other experienced DJs joined Bizarre Inc, thus forming a new trio: Andrew Meecham and Carl Turner. The first 12'' they released together was &Bizarre Theme& / &X-Static& on the now-defunct record label, Vinyl Solution. This first track got a moderate acceptance, but the next, &Playing With Knives& was to be their greatest success, whose vinyl (7'' and 12'') releases were issued on a couple of different European labels.

One year later, the album Energique followed. In 1993 Bizarre Inc twice went to number one on the United States Hot Dance Club Play chart. &I'm Gonna Get You& spent two weeks at number one in January (also hitting number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100) and was followed by &Took My Love,& which was number one for two weeks in late April. Both tracks featured lead vocals by female session singer, Angie Brown. A third song (featuring Yvonne Yanney, &Love In Motion,& peaked at #4 on the U.S. dance chart in late 1993.

All three of Bizarre Inc's hit singles appeared on their second album, Energique, in 1992. They also released a third album, the more commercial Surprise, in 1996. This album credits the singer Angie Brown as part of the band line-up, rather than as a featured artist, and she was also the co-writer on several tracks. It featured three singles, &Keep The Music Strong&, &Surprise& and &Get Up Sunshine Street&.

Meecham and Meredith have continued releasing new music together under the name Chicken Lips. In the UK, their biggest singles remain &Playing with Knives& (#4) and &I'm Gonna Get You& (#3), the latter of which was a crossover dance-pop hit and was one of the biggest sellers of that year.
