Hailing from Chelmsford in Essex, but now located to Berlin, Germany, Gold Panda started writing beats and collaborating a few years ago, beginning a journey that ultimately saw him nominated in the BBC's Sound of 2010 list and won the Guardian newspapers prestigious First Album Award 2010 for his debut album Lucky Shiner.
Having spent downtime behind the counters of various establishments of ill-repute he consolidated the rest of his hours creating archives of electronic music. He poked his head into the world by way of a collection of instantaneously raved-about remixes, that quickly attracted the interest of various labels, blogs and taste makers, leading to requests for him to re-edit the likes of Telepathe, Bloc Party, Simian Mobile Disco, Health and The Field.
In the meantime, Gold Panda began culling his back-archive of material for a series of low key releases: the first was Miyamae, a 12" on Various, followed by the Quitters Raga 7” on Make Mine, and the third, Before was released digitally and on 250 limited CDs via Puregroove, all in 2009.
In October of 2010, Gold Panda released his debut album Lucky Shiner. A culmination of years of work spent refining his sound, the record was released to huge critical acclaim, culminating in the Guardian's First Album award the following year.
Since then he has been touring throughout the world, as well as releasing a DJ Kicks compilation in November 2011, and a handful of additional singles, including last summers ltd run Mountain / Financial District 7”.
Gold Panda begins 2013 with the release of the Trust EP, the first full EP he’s released since his pre-Lucky Shiner days. That release will be followed later in the year by his second album.

Dedicated
to the vibrant country of Brazil, Gold Panda's track "Brazil" is an instrumental piece that has a pulsing and rhythmic quality to it that thrums with energy. The repetition of the word "Brazil" throughout the lyrics reinforces the idea of Brazil being a vibrant, pulsating country, full of life and vivacity. The lack of lyrics in the song is a deliberate choice, allowing the music to speak for itself and emphasizing the feelings and emotions that Brazil evokes in the artist.
As the song progresses, the pulsing beat and rhythm become more complex, with layers of electronic instrumentation, percussive sounds, and synthesizers. The layering of different sounds helps to build up the energy and excitement of the track, creating a sense of exuberance and celebration that is evocative of Brazil's festive and colorful culture.
Overall, "Brazil" is a celebration of a country and its people, and the pulsing rhythms and intricate instrumentation that Gold Panda employs in the track reflects the energy and vibrancy of Brazilian culture.

For someone who lives here, I can say that this vibe has nothing to do with Brazil itself· This song is fresh and modern and most of Brazil are pretty much countryside-ish, country, rural style although each region has its own definitions but always is country somehow· For a country which most of its history was sparsely populated, it's natural that these cultures developed · that also explain why Sertanejo is so popular, excepting in the major metropolitan regions which its people mostly reject it outright, including me· Although I can say that this fits some specific places here, like Rio itself, definitely for its scenic yet urban views, or even Brasília, the outcast, futuristic federal capital· :3 💚💛

I've just done some research. I've concluded that when Anthony uses the word colour (English spelling) he's referring to the timbre. In this case he's referring to the choice of sounds (synths etc) Gold Panda has used. Or more importantly how he's put the them together. In my opinion this track is harmonious and well-balanced so I would agree with Anthony, the colours are great

Gold Panda's music is incredible, it's like audible sunshine
