When Panagiotis Melidis, the Greek producer who records as Larry Gus, first began releasing music, his primary mode of expression was parroting other artists to create sample-heavy pastiche. His productions encompass everything from Afrobeat to hip-hop; after signing to DFA, his first two albums were attempts to turn bits and pieces from prototypical psych pop outfits like El Guincho and Animal Collective into a whole. His 2015 album, Years Not Living, was a more conceptually confident stew of African-influenced grooves, slathered-on samples, and his own heavily layered vocals. His latest album was June 2016’s ‘At Your Desk’. This seven-track collection features two original tracks, a cover of Bjork’s “I Miss You”, and four epic remixes from some of the album’s standout tracks by 40 Thieves, Musik Non Stop, Luke Vibert, and Daniel.T. & Cooper Saver-Pitchfork
