The opening track can be found on the DJ Kicks mix but tracks 2 and 3 are brand new. The Peaking Lights remix and vocal remix make up the flip.

Gold Panda - An Iceberg Hurled Northward Through Clouds

With an upcoming tour to Asia and the UK this October, Gold Panda may even have the chance to sit down and work on a second album (“around Christmas time,” he speculates). This contribution to the justifiably celebrated DJ-Kicks catalogue is one of the most essential yet, proving that midway through its second decade, the series is still going strong.

!K7 will release Gold Panda's DJ-Kicks on October 31st, 2011.
