Gold Panda's sound is difficult to describe to most people. His genre-defying music can best be referred to as "chilled-out electronica," but even that summation fails to stand up to the richly textured soundscape he creates.

Friday's Gold Panda concert at the Fonda Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard was a great testament to his ability to make people feel his music; it isn't too loud or raucous, but it's still the most intense musical experience you'll have.

His set included material from all three of his albums: "Lucky Shiner" (2010), "Companion" (2011) and "Half of Where You Live" (2013). Each song coalesced seamlessly to the next, tying together Gold Panda's various musical influences, from Indian classical music to more mainstream dance-fare.

His best-known song, "You," was a definite stand-out, but the set-closer "Quitter's Raga" was the concert's most sonically expressive and ecstatic piece. Each song was altered to fit the larger narrative of the set, but sounded close enough to the studio-version to gratify fans familiar with his body of work.

Gold Panda was immediately preceded by Slow Magic, a kaleidoscopic mask-wearing, drum-thrasher, whose musical style belongs to the nascent "glo-fi" genre.

Crowd energy was at an all-time high during his act, as his gimmicky style and persona accompanied his dream-pop, beat-driven set.

"Sorry Safari" was an obvious stand-out, and his entire performance was visually arresting and an unmistakable crowd-pleaser.

Around the halfway mark, he held his drum over his head and navigated his way through the crowd; we ooh-ed, we whooped, we all adored him.

Gold Panda's music is pretty far removed from the stylistic diktats of typical electronica; each album is a mix of folksy, psychedelic, ballad-like and dancey sounds.

His presentation is simple, but his songs are complex. His display wasn't as exciting as his predeccesors', but after Slow Magic's sprightly set, Gold Panda created a shimmering lull. Everyone was swaying.
