Gold Panda makes his debut solo release on Studio Barnhus with Ton Up — following his 2024 collaborative EP Stay Here with Fort Romeau on the same label, and arriving with the robust determination of a producer who knows that 140 bpm is not so much a tempo as a way of life. Eight rough-hewn dance tracks and two cosy service-station interludes, all crafted with Derwin Dicker's unmistakable sampler-bashing touch and zero dreaded over-explained maturity.
The tracks carry the raw knock of old-school hip-hop instrumentals pushed through pumping house machinery and disco ready to cause absolute trouble on any half-decent sound system. Functional, funny and oddly tender club music — Loser Mentality, Cut Funk, Double Arrows and Do You Know Gold Panda? each arriving with the carelessly locked-in energy of a producer who has never needed to explain himself and sees no reason to start now. Arriving exactly when the world needed it. June 26, that is.
