Alien Panda Jury

A musician who's been at the forefront of Karachi's booming underground music scene for over 12 years (primarily as a bassist for indie outfit orangenoise), Alien Panda Jury is an experimental electronic solo project from the otherwise seasoned bassist. Daniel Panjwaneey aka Alien Panda Jury takes inspiration from his ever-evolving musical experiences by combining warp-esque electronic worlds and South-Asian rhythimic structures with piercing shoegaze-inspired vocals. He has released 2 EPs and numerous singles, including releases on Forever South, Noland and Infine. Most recently being actively engaged in Nepal's experimental electronic music scene, he co-founded the DIY-driven Sine Valley Festival in Kathmandu in 2016, along with releasing 'Mandal', the debut EP from his newest collaborative project Anaasir.
