Pampin Gunnar Zander

Gunnar Zander. That appears to be a new name, but he’s definitely not a newcomer. This fellow has been pushing the limits of dance-induced joy more than ten years ago already. Back then, it was as part of electro-acoustic future-folk-funk bands, recording albums and touring globally. The beats and basslines on his Pampin EP are… well, pumping. Also, they flow in wonderfully cool and uninhibited motions. In other words: Perfect match for Acker Records. The inebriated synth adjustments and sprawling harmonies sound like sunrise - or, hold on, is it already sunset again…? Anyway, somewhere under the open skies of Berlin. The seamless addition of vocals brings on the catchy vibes of a song. There’s also two quite spectacular remixes: A deliciously dark and churning stream of dancefloor energy by Julian Schraven, and the advanced emotive drama and broken beat ecstasy of The Micronaut.
