The Wiggles Sound System: Rave of Innocence Will Be All the RAVE
NEW YORK, April 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Just when you thought you had The Wiggles pegged, they are reinventing their music for a whole new audience with the release of their first full-blown EDM album: The Wiggles Soundsystem: Rave of Innocence.
The album features fourteen EDM remixes of Wiggles classics, including earworms such as 'Hot Potato', 'Fruit Salad', 'Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga', Big Red Car,' alongside a reworking of the group's new viral hit, Bouncing Balls. It's a vibrant celebration of joy, silliness, and pure fun!
Remixed by Lenny Pearce (of Justice Crew fame – and the twin brother of the current purple Wiggle, John) and DJ Dorothy (yes, the iconic Dorothy the Dinosaur), it marks the debut of The Wiggles Sound System, described as "an electrifying fusion of nostalgia and party-starting techno beats", and "a pulsating musical journey that's part wild dancefloor party, part toddler tantrum tamer".
Lenny Pearce has become an online sensation, amassing a loyal following of over 1.4 million TikTok fans with EDM remixes of children's music and other unconventional tunes.
Blue Wiggle, Anthony Field said, "It's so incredible seeing people in their 20s and 30s who grew up enjoying our music in a whole new fun way, this remix album is sort of an extension of that. It's wild ride – DJ Dorothy is on fire!"
The Wiggles are no strangers to leaving their mark on the mainstream music world. In 2021 their cover of Tame Impala's "Elephant" (a mashup with their catchy smash hit "Fruit Salad") was one of the biggest hits of the year, with Kevin Parker himself being blown away and later joining The Wiggles on stage to perform it live in concert. The Wiggles followed that up with the release of a new album, call "ReWiggled", featuring classic covers from artists like Rhianna, Rolling Stones, AC/DC, The White Stripes and Queen.
Rave of Innocence was created for music lovers who grew up dancing along to The Wiggles. This album isn't just a trip down memory lane – it's a full-blown rave for grown-up Wiggle fans who refuse to let go of their inner child.
