For the past decade, Mad Decent has been invading your ears with fresh sounds. With humble beginnings in Diplo’s Philadelphia studio, Mad Decent’s unwavering mission is to highlight underground, genre-blurring sounds. Mad Decent tops iTunes, Beatport and Shazam charts worldwide with #1 Dance tracks and albums with releases from artists like Major Lazer, Dillon Francis, Grandtheft, Party Favor, NGHTMRE and Yellow Claw. Mad Decent is also home to Good Enuff, a launchpad for artists breaking the norm; notable releases include Bauuer’s “Harlem Shake” and DJ Snake’s “Bird Machine.” As an extension of the Mad Decent sound, Mad Decent Block Party was established in 2006 and now spans across North America and India.

Vardo and the Boss are unpredictable, unconventional and bursting with soul and energy. They blur the lines of musical genres with an eclectic mix of melodies and styles. From the energetic and dancey "Pockets", to the smooth and funky "That Kinda Love", each song has it's own distinct feel.

The rhythmic styles of the guitars are complimented by melodic electric piano, funky bass and driving drums, which make it impossible for the audience to stand still. Lauren Francis has a voice which can transform effortlessly from a sultry blues to a powerhouse of soul, and with the boys supporting her with three part harmonies, the music becomes richer and fuller still.

The band are a mismatched bunch of friends from Colchester, England, whose sound has been compared to bands like The Noisettes, Paloma Faith and Florence and the Machine.

Vardo's influences include (among many others) Florence and the Machine, Lianne La Havas, Led Zeppelin, Jamiroquai, Biffy Clyro, Incubus and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The sound that has resulted from such varying sources of inspiration is surprisingly distinct; catchy choruses, meaningful lyrics, cool grooves and a vibe which makes it unmistakably Vardo and the Boss.
