Untold remix features on Gold Panda 'DJ-Kicks' series
2nd Drop Records' seventh release, Untold's remix of Ramadanman's 'Revenue' will feature on the forthcoming Gold Panda 'DJ-Kicks' series later on 31st October this year on K7!
Derwin Panda (as he calls himself) is a producer by trade, not a DJ, and the upcoming compilation will be the first mix he puts his name on. "I'd never consider myself a DJ, but through doing this I've really become more appreciative of it," he says. "I've so much more respect for people that do DJ now."
Gold Panda threw together a 22-track collection that jumps from deep house and techno to UK bass and back again. The mix also includes a new Gold Panda production, entitled "MPB." It will be his first official release since Lucky Shiner, an album he produced while dog-sitting for his grandparents that launched him to wide acclaim last year.
The Peckham-based composer, a relative novice on the decks prior to compiling his 'DJ-Kicks' edition: "I'd never considered myself a DJ, but through doing this I've become more appreciative of it. I've so much more respect for people that do DJ now".
Citing dubstepper Untold's dual features on the mix as particular standouts, he adds: "LV & Untold's 'Beacon' has all these little intricacies that makes it so interesting - Untold just seems to be a master at finding and building these lovely percussion sounds".

Happy 10th Birthday FWD>>
2nd Drop get props in the Guardian online newspaper. 2nd Drop head honchos Markle and JBliss talk about the early days of FWD>>, excerpts from the article:
It inspired the wider scene
Mark Gurney of 2nd Drop records says FWD>> inspired the name of his label: "Mala from Digital Mystikz didn't play at FWD>> on that many occasions and he never allowed recordings of his sets, so it was a real moment in 2007 when he graced the Plastic People controls and played his dubstep anthem Lean Forward. For those who know this tune, it has the most beastly second drop, which would get rewinds even though it came two thirds of the way through the record. I remember muttering to myself in a haze of weed smoke and Guinness that it was "all about the second Drop". I texted my best mate James to tell him I had a name for our new label whose first release would be a then little-known producer called Ramadanman, in May of that year."
They couldn't keep the secret appearances a secret
It was at FWD>> that a new secret production outfit called Magnetic Man debuted. Well, it was supposed to be a secret, anyway. As Mark Gurney remembers: "The core dubstep cognoscenti had been caning their tunes Everything Cool and Soulz for months, but nothing was officially known about them. As you walked into Plastic People and on to the dark dancefloor, the decks had been covered by a white mesh screen, a ruse to conceal the identity of the act. But as the hardcore fans had been there since the doors opened we'd seen everyone who'd come in and out of the club. Also, the fact that Benga's Afro was strikingly outlined behind the screen probably didn't help …
