What better a way to chirp you up on a wet Wednesday than a brand-new Gold Panda track? Little else, that’s what. So it’s a good thing Derwin has just dropped a new number.
Known to conjure sounds of Chinese and Indian origin in the past, this latest one – simply entitled ’4′ – transports us somewhere near the Middle East with it’s clattering percussion, simple strings and yearning vocals.
Ever modest, this is what the man himself had to say:
“A track I made on a korg es-1 in about 10mins and jammed out for my mate called “Infinite Livez” to freestyle on at a last minute gig/DJ set thing in Berlin a while back and I hadn’t eaten much and also had to DJ and I’m a shit DJ but I just played a bunch of records anyway and Inf’ helped me out by freestyling for me. He’s a nice bloke and a great artist. I just made a cup of tea. Maybe I’ll invite him over.”
Hopefully the nonchalance is just for show and we’ll get a new album soon.
Until then, stream/listen below:
