Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Having vaulted from nowhere to star status with last year's Lucky Shiner, minimal-techno producer Gold Panda has been in heavy demand these past 12 months, but has found time to assemble this mix of personal favourites.
It's a pleasant enough ride which reveals some of Panda's tastes: he loves a good handclap groove, for instance, and prefers vocals murmured rather than sung. Tracks from the likes of Zomby, Opiate and LV & Untold are included, along with the latter's effervescent remix of Ramadanman's frisky "Revenue"; but it's heartening that the most pleasing piece is his own "An Iceberg Hurtled Northward through Clouds": the gamelan tinkle of its glass percussion is strapped to a descending bassline whose compelling melody offers a blueprint for his house style.
