潘PAN

The Taiwanese artist who previously released under the moniker 'Aristophanes', for which she received global recognition, has recently released an EP entitled ‘Reborn’. It marked her return to the ether and the start of much more innovative new music to come.

Pan worked on the EP with BON (Kojey Radical, Mykki Blanco, Gaika) and Clams Casino on production duty and mixer David Wrench (Sampha, FKA Twigs, The xx), who are equally regarded for their forward-thinking approach to sound. Across a constantly morphing sonic palette that moves from metallic, apocalyptic beats to delicate nods to the traditional music of her Asian heritage, via heavy, industrial moments, spacious soundscapes and much more, the thread in Pan’s music is utterly mesmeric vocal. Performing in a mix of Mandarin and English, she says having the two languages to play with is “like featuring another artist who has a different way of describing things”.

With her latest, four track EP ‘Ghosts’, Pan continues to test limits with her art, demonstrating she’s a true pioneer of sonic diversity and range. The title track, produced by Clams Casino and mixed by David Wrench (Sampha, FKA Twigs, The xx), is accompanied by an otherworldly official music video.
