The Wiggles have released a new Edm album — yes, you read that right — called The Wiggles Soundsystem: Rave of Innocence.
Featuring 14 Wiggles classics remixed as Edm songs, The Wiggles Soundsystem: Rave of Innocence is helmed by Australian DJ and Justice Crew member Lenny Pearce — who is also the twin brother of purple Wiggle John Pearce. The remixes were also provided by DJ Dorothy, the beloved dinosaur, who appears on the album’s cover.
The Wiggles Soundsystem: Rave of Innocence features bumping, techno remixes of Wiggles favorites “Fruit Salad,” “Bouncing Balls,” “Hot Potato,” and more. There’s also a fascinating rework of “Baby Shark,” which, well, you’ll just have to hear it for yourself.
Marking the debut of The Wiggles Sound System, a press release describes the album 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.

Described as The Beatles for toddlers, The Wiggles are an Australian musical group who were once the country’s top entertainment earners – making more than stars like Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman. With Hot Potato: The Story of The Wiggles director Sally Aitken crafts a behind-the-scenes look focusing on the most widely known iteration of the group – made up of Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Greg Page, and Jeff Fatt – while not being limited to that version.
The original line-up was a group of friends that met at university while taking an Early Childhood course, with some already members of the band ‘The Cockroaches.’ Bringing together a range of musical styles, they combined their teachings with a love of music to become a band that successfully sold albums.

Netflix has released the trailer of the highly anticipated “Rustin,” starring Colman Domingo.
The biopic tells the story of Bayard Rustin, the architect of 1963’s historic March on Washington, serving alongside giants such as Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., Adam Clayton Powell Jr., and Ella Baker as they dared to dream a better world. Per the logline, “He challenged authority, never apologized for who he was, what he believed, or who he desired. And he did not back down. He made history, and in turn, he was forgotten.”

The Wiggles are ubiquitous, streaming on Netflix, YouTube and Spotify and airing over the years on major TV networks and selling out tour venues across the world.
Now, the 30-year-old Australian kids brand is finally getting what it has never had: a dedicated streaming and broadcast channel, through a deal with Loop Media. Launching this summer, the free, ad-supported Wiggles Channel will feature thousands of hours of original programming designed for children and families. (The uninitiated can take a look at the sizzle reel above for a sampling.)
Jon Niermann co-founded Loop Media, whose multichannel digital platform extends streaming beyond the living room and into hotels, bars/restaurants, office buildings and retail businesses. In a past career chapter at Disney, Niermann forged a relationship with the Wiggles, which gave him a foothold as he looked to feature the group in a new media context.
