Gold Panda made his name with last year's debut LP, 'Lucky Shiner', which was a shimmering blend of cinematic electronica, ambient techno and lush cinematics. It was a work to rival the output of fellow four-to-the-floor romanticists like the Field and Pantha du Prince. A similarly awesome EP was released earlier this year, further cementing Gold Panda's place as a producer making breathtaking tracks with a dancefloor mentality. Now the south London born beat maker is back with an incredibly expansive and dynamic mix for DJ Kicks. It's so good that Mixmag has secured an exclusive stream of the entire mix, which can be heard below.
From Drexciya to 2562 to Jan Jelinek to Bok Bok, Gold Panda's selection for DJ Kicks moves through studied techno, cutting edge bass music and awesome electronic experiments. Get an exclusive first listen below and pre-order from iTunes here.
