It's eerie how frequently one thing can lead to another in terms of exposing any which artist opening up your very own outlook to a vortex of likeminded musicians, and that's precisely what occurred after we yesterday featured the quietly sublime Koloto . In its wake trailed a couple emails from acquaintances and/ or affiliates of Maria Sullivan, the pick of which would surely be the produce of inscrutable UK producer Ekoda Map . It's again a stylistic mode which is more closely aligned with so-called organica than it is electronica I suppose, in that manipulable gadgetry merely [...]

There's no negating electronic musics being at their best when they're powered by those most cerebral capacities of the human brain, just as there's no doubting the disparate genres thereof now approaching a point of absolute saturation. It's precisely why Daphni is preferable to Modeselektor, or why Pick a Piper pips Gold Panda in the stakes of immediate intrigue. And playing into that same richly academic school of thought, production value and so forth is Canterbury's Koloto , or rather Maria Sullivan to put a name to the otherwise isolated nom de plume. Sullivan tinkers with [...]
Gold Panda é o nome por detrás de Derwin Panda, o produtor britânico que tem recebido elogios rasgados após o lançamento do seu álbum de estreia Lucky Shiner (2010). Depois da surpresa de Trust EP, no início do ano, o inglês anunciou um novo trabalho para o fim do primeiro semestre. “Brazil” é a primeira extracção do novo registo e, mostra directamente a influência que o país sul americano representou neste primeiro single de avanço. Numa composição essencialmente electrónica, com misturas de baixo aliado a beats [...]
This gorgeous new track from Gold Panda was released yesterday. 'Brazil' is a whirling shiny explosion of synths and staccato...
British electronica producer GOLD PANDA reports back with his sophomore studio album. Half Of Where You Live is about to get released on June 10 via his own label NOTOWN, already today we get to hear the first track Brazil. The record is supposed to reflect GOLD PANDA's nomadic existence, his travel experiences and citties The post Gold Panda announces new album, shares first song "Brazil" appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .
It's pretty tricky knowing what to do with an EP really, as they're too concise for a red-blooded review and too bulky to cover concisely so they've got to reside down toward the spectacular end of the spectrum to merit much online acclaim. And that's precisely where that from Badalona inhabitant Sau Poler weighs in. For as does nearby Barcelona, A Soundless Echo resonates on two very distinct, distinctive, and indeed disparate planes. That is to say that whereas la capital de Cataluña differs illogically from the touristic niceties of the day to the traumatic debaucheries [...]

Could hope be said to only incur pain? Granted, it's rarely fulfilled as we'd so optimistically wish for it to be, but I'd counter that only the hopeless know true pain. And Hope Only Brings Pain certainly makes for a discombobulating title to slap on the sophomore recording from Barcelona pairing, The Suicide of Western Culture . Their native city itself is one that, to the visiting alien, reeks of a painfully transparent positivity: it's bathed in luminescence for at least six months of the year; sits beside the seaside; and boasts two of mainland Europe's most [...]

Without question, if there's one genre to have greatly benefitted from the ever more infinite nature of the internet, then it would surely be electronica. And there are more SoundCloud accounts updated daily by producers worldwide than there are mucky spots of monochromic grim lining the Great British skies during this most bleak of wintertimes. Though in amidst it all are rays of more tranquil, if no less resolute talent that permeate those rather more sporadic flurries and one such to have shone through is UK bass sculptor Jack Hyde, aka Quiet Sun . Conflate is his patent standout track – [...]

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, [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

Gold Panda (or Derwin to mama and papa 'Panda) has long since been slogging it out in the heavyweight arenas of electronica, provided that perhaps most understated and slight of genres could ever be weighed in in such a way. A perfunctory roll of the eyes over our review of his astounding input at last year's Field Day ought to attest to that, though having released his only full-length to date – Lucky Shiner – long, long ago in 2010 there's something of a chasmic discrepancy between the impression he's now more than capable [...]
