One of the surprisingly original performances we saw at this year’s Decibel Festival came on our first night in Seattle from UK producer and recent Ghostly label signee Gold Panda. The following day, we were able sit down with the music maker, who prefers to simply be called Derwin, and have a chat about the influences that color his debut album, Lucky Shiner, what he’d do with a $5000 recording budget, his favorite kinds of tea, and why he’s already planning his next record.
