Gold Panda describes the 7″ he’s created for “Mountain” and “Financial District” as a “short story,” hinting at something in the future that could twist his sound in a completely new direction. It’s great to hear him return to the tempos that grabbed our attention in the first place, and you should purchase the vinyl via NOTOWN today.
Gold Panda sounds free and comfortable on his remix for Night Works, flirting with minimal house kicks and his signature high end sample stretches that take on an ethereal quality by the end. NZCA LINES has flipped it into a boom-bap ballad as well.
A plethora of the UK’s finest producers have focused their energy on creating minimal house for the time being, and Gold Panda‘s DJ-Kicks compilation showcases this astute collection of up-and-comers. Tracks from artists like Bok Bok, Zomby, and Matthewdavid are left mostly untouched and worked around a few of his own pieces – which make the most of his SM58 – and highlight how articulate Derwin can be on the dancefloor. I’m particularly enamored with the SND tune he threw into the mix. It’s the perfect accoutrement for any change of season, and can be purchased just about everywhere you can think of.
Gold Panda – An Iceberg Hurled Northward Through Clouds
Gold Panda – Back Home
An Iceberg Hurled Northward Through Clouds is the first track on Gold Panda‘s Dj-Kicks compilation, and he shared the tune with his friends on facebook this morning. Iceberg echoes the deep house direction he’s taken since releasing MPB, with a myriad of bells and chimes swirled around soft kicks and poignant synths. You’ll have to wait a couple more weeks before you can get your hands on this release.

“Montaña de Tormenta” is one of the wilder tracks from San Gabriel‘s phenomenal debut on Time No Place, juxtaposing cumbia basslines with rude-boy samples and a high pitched vocal squeal that rises above its tropical melancholia. Volfe is out digitally right now, and you should also pick up the vinyl when it’s out on June 26.
