This four-piece with the strange name Lord Of The Amazing Panther is still considered an insider tip ‘straight outta Berlin’. But that is likely to change soon. This quartet is already made up of greats in their respective fields: bassist Beat Halberschmidt is part of the Marsimoto and Marteria band and DJ Illvibe aka Vincent von Schlippenbach and guitarist Dirk Berger are part of the producer team The Krauts, which is responsible for Seeed, Peter Fox and Dendemann, among others, while drummer Roy Knauf sits on the chair for Marteria and Marsimoto, among others. As Lord Of The Amazing Panther, the four are now working on a shared musical vision. They play the beats with unconditional dedication, improvise with precise sound fetishism, draw on various aesthetic and stylistic influences and bring it all to the point in an unmistakable and uncompromising way: raw, electrifying and absolutely danceable.
