Panoram - Everyone Is A Door (2014)

Fans of the Firecracker label will know that concepts such as release dates are malleable at best, and should instead focus on embracing the music when it eventually arrives. First announced last summer, Everyone Is A Door sees Italian producer Panoram step up with his debut album that expands on the vivid, freeform approach first seen on a 2012 EP for the supposedly Mongolia-based Scenario label. Panoram seems more than happy to flit between classic disco, funk and Dilla when looking for inspiration, with the twelve tracks leading you on a journey that's refreshingly psychedelic and filled with squelching funk. Everyone Is A Door comes across as a rich listening experience with plenty of ammo for the more adventurous selectors out there and presents Panoram as a fine addition to the Firecracker family.
