I don't doubt even for a fragmented splinter of a second that of the 7,000-odd SoundCloud plays bashed on Sofia Kourtesis' Las Magnolias, a not insubstantial percentage can be credited to Gold Panda's involvement on 808 duties. Though to consequently disregard it is to grant the Berlin-based ambient sculptor a rancid disservice, as it's a goddamn indulgent bleepfest in its own right – an amorphous conflation of downtempo, motorik rhythms, globular bloops, clacks cocooned in dense reverb, and insouciant sighs only casually injected from time to time. Easy on the ears though undoubtedly complex underneath, it's a [...]

The occassional Soundcloud trundle can uncover the most ridiculously talented producers. This track from UK producer Quiet Sun can really only be described as perfect. Breathing Space is sort of reminiscent of earlier Four Tet and Gold Panda - with a similar sense of craft and atmosphere - I think fitting somewhere nicely between the two. If this sounds like your kind of thing take a listen below:

TRUST 12" ARTWORK BY ANDY GILMORE NOTOWN / GHOSTLY INTERNATIONAL JAN 2013 Gold Panda - Trust Ep (Review) A couple of weeks ago, Gold Panda released his latest EP, Trust , which was made available to stream via Pitchfork Advance. With a three year hiatus after the release of his debut album, Lucky Shiner , Gold Panda has dropped a handful of EPs and a DJ Kicks compilation. He’s been sporadically touring over the last few years but recently announced his upcoming headlining tour which will take place from spring through [...]

Gold Panda: Trust EP - I found Gold Panda ’s new Trust EP to be a very short, well rounded collection of experimental songs. It starts off with a great intro: Two sweet chords switching back and forth amid a distorted haze dressed with motion picture samples. Then we get to ‘Trust’, putting you in hip, bobbing trance fashioned from soothing arrhythmic loops and textures overtop a steady bass beat and the fast eighth-note percussion. It’s a very chilled piece, and though it may have the passing appearance of any static, minimal techno song, [...]

London's Gold Panda has returned with the Trust EP , following up after his 2010 beautiful debut Lucky Shiner . In the same vein as downtempo genius Bonobo , Gold Panda creates soothing music filled with hypnotic hip-hop beats, quickfire samples, and swirling instrumental tracks. The Trust EP is digitally available through The Ghostly Store right now, may be streamed entirely over on Soundcloud , and will be released officially on vinyl March 5th. Enjoy! [...]

When things are falling apart there’s nothing better than to find yourself with a catchy hook. And if you listen to the original, Charli XCX samples Gold Panda ’s You — and that my friends, is as catchy as it gets. Josh has done it again, a nu disco remix that stays true to the meaning behind the lyrics yet injects the original with a bassline with its own personality and the usual Goldroom tune flavour. The bridge and its synth chord progression with the kicks and snares is something that [...]

A little over a month ago, the lovely Charli XCX unveiled her Gold Panda -sampling newest single, "You (Ha Ha Ha)" , making for another one of the goth goddess' electro-goth gems. Recently though, up-and-coming producer Goldroom decided to step in, scrap most of the Gold Panda production (maybe there isn't enough room for two golden producers on one track?), and turn this track into a full-out banger. The eeriness of the somewhat mismatched vocals and production is replaced [...]

Tweet For the last week we've been lost in 17 minutes of trust. By that we of course mean the spectacular Trust EP by Gold Panda . Not since DJ Shadow sampled his way into our formative teenage years has the gentle mix of hip-hop, slight crunchy beats and the perfectly placed sample so thrilled our ears. In fact, as Mr Shadow moved onto a more traditional hip-hop sound in recent years we feared a rare art-form may have also [...]

A new bit looking at the often overlooked world of music videos, written by a self-styled asshole with a Lit degree. - ed.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =qtrHH1BDlzk Charli XCX has courted a reasonable bit of controversy concerning the video for her Gold Panda-sampling song 'You (Ha Ha Ha)', notably over her supposed glorification of firearms. The point that everyone seems to be missing though is the most offensive thing to do with the video, is the quality of the video itself. Ms. XCX recently stated that 'You (Ha Ha Ha)' was like [...]
British-chillout producer and artist Gold Panda has just released his latest EP 'Trust' on Ghostly International Recordings . The four-track release is his first EP in two years - since 20122s Mountain/Financial District 73 on Notown Recordings . "Trust Intro" provides a an eerily distorted buildup that serves as a stark contrast to the eponymous "Trust," which relies heavily on Gold Panda's hip-hop influences and natural percussive elements to set a very chill, yet energized mood. "Burnt Out Car In A Forest" provides a more chaotic sonic experience with its up-tempo syncopated rhythms, but simplistic melodies [...]
Once operating under the banner of Starrbanger, prodigious young thing Sean Kendal has stripped away the pseudonym, to instead concentratedly focus himself on his itself concentratedly excellent aural output. Liquid – his one and only, thus far – is about as likely to be blared out of that in every way sticky chain of suburban clubs of the same name as is Gold Panda's Trust EP , though there are some rather conceivable parallels to be drawn between the two. For Kendal here quite patently demonstrates that same predilection for aqueous samples and asiatic [...]

[author-name] Um novo caminho para Gold Panda. Ou então não. Depois do lançamento do seu disco de estreia, Lucky Shriner , as atenções viraram-se para o britânico Gold Panda, muito por culpa da mestria na hora de cortar e colar, de baralhar tudo e dar novo jogo e de inventar batidas impossíveis. O apetite foi aguçado ainda mais com o lançamento de Companion , uma compilação que reunia os seus três primeiros EPs e um tema bónus e que continha [...]
Just a quick group of quick and cursory reviews of various songs and releases that I didn't get a chance to talk about this week. Thank you for watching! WATCH THE REVIEW

In the past three years, East London producer Gold Panda has risen from underground "bedroom producer" to acclaimed remixer of of Little Boots , Telepathe, Bloc Party, Simian Mobile Disco and HEALTH . With his gleaming hip-hop tinged instrumental electronica, the young producer instantly seduced critics and blogs. Gold Panda's latest offering is the new Trust EP, another wonderful, singular piece of work, featuring mournful horns, minimal beats and elegant vocal samples. The four-track collection was released last Tuesday digitally and will be out on vinyl on March 4 via Ghostly International. It is [...]
It's only 26 days into 2013 and we've already been treated to a number of tasty releases from the likes of Everything Everything , Disclosure & AlunaGeorge and now we've got a new EP from Gold Panda to add to that list. Released last Monday, 'Trust' is the first thing we've heard from the producer since his 2011 release 'Companion' which was a collection of EPs all woven together with expert precision. 'Trust' Features more of an electronic feel, with plenty of synths and pulsating electro beds, which ties in nicely with the last few [...]
