He's making nostalgia work for him without consuming him.
Whatever angle you examine it from, Lucky Shiner is an impressive statement, especially for a debut, and when Gold Panda lets the house beat sink into the background and experiments a little more with space and structure the results are gorgeous.
Most importantly, Dervin's work as Earth-spanning sample librarian helps avoid the hobgoblin of lesser producers: sameness.
