Gold Panda – ‘MPB’
A new track from Derwin Panda, in which zig-zagging xylophone melodies combine with clipped beats, bouncing synths and low-end to produce another great Gold Panda track.
As for the title, what does it stand for? A quick search says it could stand for.. “Male pattern baldness”, “Monthly Playboy” (Japanese edition) or “Mountain Pine Beetle”. Who knows, the fun is making up your own – “Most Producers Barf”. “Merry Panda Boy”. “Many People Babysit” “Musique Pour Blogs”, “Musty Priest Bifocals”, “Might Poop Bananas”. I’m sure you can do better…
