Lucky Shiner is the debut full length album from UK producer, Gold Panda. This unique album borrows sounds from the past and shapes them into something exciting and memorable. This mixture of atmospheric electronica and organic sampling creates a warm and raw experience, often missing in today’s electronic records. Lucky Shiner is similar in style to Eleven Tigers, Take, and Four Tet releases, but by no means a reproduction. This album will shine long after the 2-month shelf life of all the Rusko and Benga-esque tracks that we constantly see come and go.

Gold Panda built a reputation back in 2009 by remixing tracks by The Field, Bloc Party, Little Boots and Simian Mobile Disco. Later in the year, he released 3 original EPs which got positive attention from both Pitchfork and The Guardian. Live sets were soon to follow which gained him a larger fanbase and established him as a recognized live performer.

This past October, Gold Panda released the Snow & Taxis EP, which includes remixes by Glitterbug and Throwing Snow. To hear more, check out Gold Panda on iTunes.

Big Mister Doom, an electronica duo based in Leeds, sent me over a couple of tracks this week. These are some fresh, glitchy and atmospheric tunes—similar in style to Telefon Tel Aviv and Eskmo. Turn the volume way up to enjoy crystal clear production and heaps of swirling beats and bleeps.

Fore more info. and music downloads, check out Big Mister Doom.

TV on the Radio’s latest release, Read Silence, is a follow-up remix EP to Dear Science. All three of the remixes are great, but the one that stands out the most is “Red Dress (The Glitch Mob Remix).” The Glitch Mob, up until recently, was comprised of DJs edIT (Edward Ma), Kraddy (Mathew Kratz), Boreta (Justin Boreta) and Ooah (Josh Mayer), who had decided to link up after repeatedly playing the same venues throughout California. Together, they performed tag-team-style sets with all four DJs on stage at the same time. Since 2008, they’ve been producing some of the sickest electronic, glitch and futuristic hip-hop tracks and remixed some of the most talented electronic and hip-hop artists. Mathew Kratz recently split from the group due to creative differences but will still be producing new music under “Kraddy.”

The other tracks on Read Silence are “Shout Me Out (Willie Isz Remix by Jneiro Jarel)” and “Stork & Owl (Gang Gang Dance Remix).” Both take the songs to new heights without compromising TV on the Radio’s signature sound. You can listen to more samples from Read Silence now on iTunes.
