Writer by day, DJ by night. I'm Eddie Rios aka Black Panda. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Black Panda draws from his Nuyorican upbringing, blending Afro- Caribbean soul with deep, funky, hypnotic, uplifting grooves across House, disco, and techno. I’m founder of Pandamonium, an intention-minded curation project uplifting queer and BIPOC artists most known for its soulful dance party, Paradise Found. I’m also co-founder of the BIPOC Beats Collective, a group of BIPOC Burners who want to diversify musical spaces on and off playa, and lead west coast fundraiser for the NYC music collective, Bubbles & Bass. With every infectious production, Black Panda exudes the joy that underpins House history. He transports dancers to a time when love, community, and the soul collide. In his House, we’re family.
