DJ Zardonic

Federico Agreda aka Zardonic is a controversial electronic -mainly drum & bass- music producer, born in October 22nd, 1985, and "one of the standards of Drum & Bass in Venezuela and one of the highest electronic talents in Barquisimeto city", according to the latin american webzine Flayers. So far, he is considered by many the most active and skilled drum & bass producer in his country.

In words of Lewis Davidson, owner of Technorganic Recordings, "This Venezuelan artist, fresh off the successful tune placement of “Moonlight Ceremony” as featured in AK1200's strongest DJ mix to date, is showing how his varied background, environmental location and unique production styles are quite possibly the secret recipe for DNB perfection". His sound is often defined by latin rhythms and sounds, industrial drumkits, rock / metal basslines, and high energy beats, embraced by an euphoric attitude during his live sets, that has allowed him to communicate such energy directly to the crowd, and driven to different forms of Darkstep, Mellow, Technoid or Experimental Drum & Bass.

With six years of experience in producing and support from Dieselboy, John B, AK1200, Pendulum, The DJ Producer, Submerged, Mumblz, Counterstrike, Basic Operations, Identity, Cooh and many more artists, Zardonic has been able to get signed to several labels worldwide, such as Ohm Resistance, Technorganic, Mindsaw, Dark Asylum, Future Sickness, Foulplay, Suicide Dub, and so on. He is also the owner of Zardonic Recordings, a free drum & bass net label that has managed to release the highest quality beats ever released on free net labels.

As a metal keyboardist with a background of several heavy and industrial projects, and a versatility of taste and criteria for the freshest beats, Zardonic has also got to remix notable artists such as Nine Inch Nails, Red Harvest, Dark Funeral and Gorgoroth.
