A genre I’ve really started to embrace lately is “post-dubstep” (forgive the pretentiousness) glitchy, minimal techno. This style makes use of the familiar whomp of dubstep, but perverts the whole soundscape beautifully with samples and influences from electronica abounding. One producer I particularly love is Gold Panda (originally Derwin Panda). Gold Panda’s Lucky Shiner was definitely one of my favorite electronica albums of 2010, and I expect him to continue producing great music throughout 2011. Check out the track below, from the new album Companion (technically a compilation of his three EPs) for a taste of what Gold Panda offers- beware of ridiculously awesome, mind-blowing Indian samples. – Jon the Wolf
