Gold Panda has played a pivotal role in forming my taste when it comes to electronic music. I've been listening to his warm yet upbeat sample-based joints for as long as Stereofox has existed, and I still consider his 2026 release Good Luck And Do Your Best a masterpiece.
A few weeks ago, Derwin returned with a brand-new release, a record called TON UP, that feels like an injection of peculiar dance intensity. I love the description on the Bandcamp upload - because I can vouch - he is indeed "a producer who knows that 140 bpm is not so much a tempo as a way of life."
I picked up "LOVER MENTALITY" as it feels like a good entry point into the Studio Barnhus-released album. Off-kiler intro and a sudden switch that will take your breath away.
The track and the album as a whole radiate an effortless sense of joy and boundless energy. Qualities that feel tailor-made for the dancefloor.
