Gold Panda, Dauwd, DJ Tan't

[DIGI-RAGA] “Quitter’s Raga,” Gold Panda’s Indian-tinged folktronic feel-good track initially released on 7-inch in 2009, begs you to close your eyes. Long, meandering ragas normally feature sitar riff after sitar riff, all the more disorienting because of their ever-shifting time signatures and unfamiliar scale. Gold Panda takes one of those transcendent riffs, lays pulsing strings and claps behind the sitar and Indian chanting, and parboils the whole track in the salty, de-compiling broth of glitch. In just one minute and 49 seconds, Gold Panda takes us to an odd, globally warmed future, where the sun hits the earth’s collective face and everything’s okay. Or maybe it’s just a summer jam.
