Pandanāndi is the DJ name of multidisciplinary artist, producer, and music historian Panda Arcadia. Brought up in the woods by a rag-tag bunch of tea-loving goblins and rough-and-tumble forest fairies, Panda emerged from the underbrush in 2004 with a knapsack of noises and a pinch of dementia dust.

While spending the next decade and a half wandering and guiding dancefloors at open-air festivals and other freakish gatherings all around North America, Panda earned a reputation for their meticulous track selection and cult devotion to the spiritual and social ideals of early rave culture. Committed to the idea that underground parties should open hearts and liberate spaces, Panda founded the southern Indiana/northern Kentucky party organization Eldritch Crew in 2012 and currently serves it in an advisory capacity. Likewise, Pandanāndi is also affiliated as a label DJ with Absolut Shit Records, a North American label devoted to furthering the experimental edge of psytrance.
