Featured Artist - Wardian - Free Tunes

Well I hope everyone had an awesome week. I apologize for the lack of material this week. My cable modem went on me so now I'm on my second new one this year, sweet. Anyway, we're back up and running and I'll try and make up for it in the coming days. Today we are talking about Bassline Breaks up and comer Wardian from Spain. Wardian started off getting involved with music at age twelve when he started playing the guitar. By age 18 he became focused on electronic music and more specifically, Breakbeats. Since then he has pushed on learning multiple DAWs and playing all over his home country alongside many of the top names in Breaks. Wardian has had releases on labels like Downbeat, Flextone, and Subtribe Records. Wardian is also the front man for Funndark Records, now on their tenth release. The previous featured three tracks from Wardian himself including, "This is Your Time" with wobbly and driving bass, ravey synths and an old school touch tone phone sounding lead. The sounding bell gives an ominous feel along with the vocal stabs stating "This is Your Time". The forthcoming tenth release is power packed with a pair of tracks from The Brainkiller and will be an exclusive release on Beatport available July 29th. "La Puta" has got a big fat bassline and a kick ass half-time main break that's immense while "Cockroach" is a growling bass riddim with an island feel and meaty kicks. In places it almost has a feel of "Nightmare" by Brainbug to it (interesting with the names!), this is gonna be a big one.
 Now lets talk about today's free tunas coming at you from Wardian. First up is the classic "Star 69" from Fatboy Slim with Wardian on the remix. He turns out a fun and cheeky remix while still keeping it bassy and edgy and without going overboard on the cheese or the vocals. Crisp drums and zappy bass move things along until two minutes in where he switches things up dropping in an old school synth lead. There are plenty of edits and change-ups to keep things moving. Top stuff. Second is "Turn Off the Lights" Wardian Ft. Vanilla Ice (The VIP Mix). As the name implies Wardian samples the original made famous by Ice's 1990 debut album "To the Extreme". Again we've got plenty of bass to go around and sharp drums. A bit of acid on the bassline and some Tear-out synths are worked in with the vocal. He does a great job in my opinion of using parts of the vocal without overdoing it and getting obnoxious. It definitely adds a new spin on the classic track and for free you can't beat it. Keep your eyes open for Wardian's full album entitled "Little Place of Demons", coming out soon.
