Gold Panda

In January, Gold Panda – or Derwin to his friends and family – joined the likes of Ellie Goulding and Hurts on the BBC's Sound of 2010 poll. Since then he's kept a relatively low profile, save for a few EPs featuring tracks made from samples of old VHS tapes and computer games. While his last single, You, was a frantic concoction of bouncing beats and buzzing noises, Snow & Taxis feels slightly calmer, perhaps reflecting the fact that much of his debut album, Lucky Shiner (due in October), was recorded in his uncle's house in the country. Built around stuttering beats and glistening synth washes, Snow & Taxis ushers in the impending winter in the warmest way possible.
