Today we can announce the release of brand new Gold Panda material in the form of the ‘Trust EP’ available to stream and buy from iamgoldpanda.com

Creating the EP was about “trusting yourself that something is good”, according to Derwin AKA Gold Panda: “[It's about] Trusting your instincts. I make a lot of music but not much gets to see the light of day”, he added. “…but I trust my judgement that these tracks are worthy enough to commit to vinyl. “

The process of recording the tracks for Trust involved a step back a previously regimented routine of studio time each day:
“The inspiration was just getting away from computers/laptops made my arrangements a bit more free and natural I think. Just jamming and looking out my window. Then taking a walk to see what I recorded, going back and copying the live arrangement. (Apart from Casyam_59#2 which is my mate showing me the sounds his Yamaha keyboard could make over a loop I made with a cheap Casio one).

“I think I’ve stripped out a layer of my music since lucky shiner, maybe it was feeling too cluttered, I think these tracks and the tracks for the new album have more space, but don’t feel empty.”

In the UK, the 12” comes out on Gold Panda’s own label NOTOWN, which has recently released an album by Dam Mantle and a pair of EPs by Luke Abbott. Further releases are lined up in 2013, including the debut of Hamburg musician, Hannes Rasmus. Ghostly will be releasing the EP throughout North America and mainland Europe.

This spring will see a raft of new Gold Panda headline shows. Full dates are below. More dates, including further summer festivals will be announced soon.

The final installment from the DJ Kicks compilation and most likely the final piece of music from Derwin until 2012 (and how long into 2012 we’re not sure) is three new tracks on this special 12″ release via K7! The opening track can be found on the DJ Kicks mix but tracks 2 and 3 are brand new. The Peaking Lights remix and vocal remix make up the flip. Enjoy.

Hi Everyone,

The Lucky Shiner album tour is finally over! I’ve been touring it for over a year now. Been to a lot of places/festivals, some more than once (some 3-4 times!). Sorry for the ones that were cancelled but had good reasons (man-flu, blood tests, flights cancelled, typhoons, missing luggage). Thanks to all who booked me, came to shows, bought something, wrote me a nice email, loved it/hated it, thought it was great/boring, said hello, helped me out. I’ll be doing shows here and there but mainly concentrating on spending time with my wife, watching movies, drinking teas, picking my nose and making new tunes. Cheers, Derwin.

Due to venue licensing issues, Gold Panda’s show on October 29th in New York will now take place at Cameo, 93 North 6th Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

All tickets previously purchased for the show at Good Units remain valid. There are a few tickets left for the show, available via ticketweb below. Gold Panda will be joined by Lemonade and Blondes for this show.

The change has been made on Ticketweb:

Apologies for any inconvenience caused and look forward to seeing some of you there
