Birthday Party Part III
Tuesday 17th August
White Heat & Rockfeedback Present:
Gold Panda
Max Tundra
Dam Mantle
Just to quote the Rockfeedback event page for this one, because they
write nice:
Our bros White Heat are turning 7 years old this summer and to celebrate
we're joining them in throwing a party curated by the marvellous Gold
Panda, featuring three beacons of UK electronica.
GOLD PANDA
Gold Panda consists of Essex boy Derwin, a producer who has also remixed
tracks by the likes of Bloc Party, Health, Simian Mobile Disco and many
more, all of which have been gained much acclaim by critics, blogs and
music lovers akin. His music is championed as being an organic breed
of electronic that’s not quite dance or flash-in-the-pan enough
to only be heard on dance floors, although live is where it takes on
it's need for large speakers and full attention, whilst making heads
nod and shoes move. Derwin’s adoration of all things Japanese
have also heavily influenced his hazy and surprisingly emotional sounding
songs released on You EP from earlier this year. A perfect soundtrack
to these long summer days.

MAX TUNDRA
Ben Jacobs, or Max Tundra as he is more commonly known, is a British
musician who mixes electronic noises with a whole host of other instruments
and styles to create some pretty special songs. Having released material
since 1998, Max Tundra has a substantial discography under his belt,
released on Domino Records. Over time Tundra has become something of
a cult figure, amassing fans a-plenty through his adventures around
the globe. He recently announced on his Twitter account in June that
his next album, Parallax Error Beheads You, may well be his last. He
plays here as a special guest of Gold Panda's.

DAM MANTLE
Known to his family and friends as Tom Marshall - Dam Mantle is a fresh
young innovator from Glasgow making progressive electronic sounds to
make you cry, move erratically or smile a mile wide. Live he's joined
by another and has recently wrapped up a tour with fellow new music
compatriot Gold Panda. Mantle’s glitchy “poems” seem
to want to bridge the gap between the usual alienation of electronic
music and the mainstream pop music of yore – y’know, when
pop songs actually MEANT something.(Line Of Best Fit). Dam Mantle, seems
to embrace an amiably all-over-the-map compositional style, EP cut "Rebong"
is an exceptionally groovy slice of glitch-hop, with a harp sample not
unlike something Flying Lotus would use. (Pitchfork)
