These initially inconspicuous, incredible mountain lion lords sneak up on you silently as if unseen, until they finally escape their hiding place with a mighty leap and give you a beat-filled paw-slap on the ears. Because Lord Of The Amazing Panther are something like Steroid Pumas, a real insider tip supergroup straight outta Berlin. Each member is a monster of a workhorse and together they are probably the hottest groove package in the capital. In detail: Bassist Beat Halberschmidt is on the road with Marsimoto/Marteria, DJ Illvibe (Vincent von Schlippenbach) has received his musical consecration as such and also as a producer (The Krauts) for acts such as Seeed, Peter Fox or Dendemann, guitarist Dirk Berger is also known through The Krauts, while drummer Roy Knauf is a producer for Deichkind and drummer as well as musical director for Marteria and Marsimoto. A madman. Any questions? Bass, guitar and DJ already formed the legendary band Lychee Lassi, which has earned a reputation far beyond Berlin as a terrific live act and elicited a "You guys are on some next level shit" from Kid Koala.
With Lord of The Amazing Panther, Schlippenbach (DJ Illvibe) in particular shows his own musical vision for the first time. Together they play with unconditional devotion to beats, improvisation and always with precise sound fetishism. The Panther jumps far and always unpredictably, makes light-footed use of the most diverse influences and plays a highly independent musical cosmos absolutely unmistakably and uncompromisingly to the point.
