After exploding onto the Australian dance scene last year, the mysterious Sydney producer Golden Features has dropped the first official single from his upcoming EP titled XXIV.
Comparisons between Golden Features and other acts that have a preference for keeping their identities secret, like ZHU or even Daft Punk, seems inevitable. Especially given the similarities across their musical styles.
But my feeling is that Golden Features is carving out a unique enough niche for himself thanks to the obvious depth and variety of his releases so far. He seems capable of bending his work in lots of different directions -- towards trap, deep house, future garage, and a couple of his tracks now have featured female vocalists.
Golden Fingers will be on tour around Australia later this month. Many dates have already sold out and little wonder -- his heavy beats are bound to get any live crowd whipped into a dancing frenzy. All of the tour details are over on his Facebook page.
