HA Chu

The reluctantly mysterious Pan Amsterdam’s new album, HA Chu offers listeners immediate access into the creative process and transcontinental artistic community that’s encouraged his Def Pressé albums, thus far. On the strength of Pan Amsterdam’s critically acclaimed 2018 debut album, The Pocket Watch, he toured the U.K. with DJ/ producer Mr. Shn and the U.S. with Open Mike Eagle until Iggy Pop tapped Leron Thomas (New York-based composer, producer, multi-media artist and trumpeter/ mastermind behind his rap persona, Pan Amsterdam) to pen and produce most of his new album, Free. While touring with Iggy Pop as lead trumpeter and bandleader, Leron (Pan Amsterdam) further collaborated with vocalists, musicians and producers he met on tour. This album features collabs with Jason Williamson (Sleaford Mods), Jimi Goodwin (Doves) with some other surprises along the way. HA Chu is the sonic retrospective of Pan Am's international touring experience.
