BASSink Productions, lead by Dwain “Dwaingerous” Antrobus, has been on the forefront of the Barbadian soca movement and has been integral in making the island nation a serious contender in releasing quality soca music, for years now.

“Fixer” is an up-tempo soca track that brings his unique praise and worship style, fused with contemporary sounds. “Men can fix cars, houses and electronics but I believe that God is the fixer, healer, restorer of broken hearts and shattered relationships,” states Gardner. “This song is to encourage people who need comfort that God will fix it for you.”

Gardner has been honing his production skills for 19 years now, and has been performing for 31 years, since he was five. “Fixer” is the first track from his much-anticipated upcoming album Fixer, which is currently in production and scheduled for a November  2015 release.

Featuring five sizzling tracks, De Downtown Riddim showcases soca star Tallpree alongside regional Grenadian sensations Ajamu, Inspector, Shortpree and Pupa Leendi.
