About Gold Panda
Mixing samples into a swirling, yet laid-back stew, a musical mélange somewhere between DJ Shadow and Four Tet, London-based knob-turner Gold Panda began to stir an underground buzz in the late-‘00s. A retiring sort with the given name Derwin, Gold Panda began his electronic experiment as a lark in the late-1990s, as a teenager chopping up pop songs with abandon on his music-producer uncle’s sampler. By his late 20s, he was remixing tracks for Bloc Party and Little Boots and turning the ears of such taste-makers as Pitchfork with his original hip-hop and trance laced compositions.
