Disney Music Group signs Toddler Techno creator to remix Disney Jr. tunes
Here’s a combination you don’t hear everyday: babies and raves. That seems to be the vibe Disney Music wants to capture through its deal with Lenny Pearce (pictured), the creator of kids music brands Toddler Techno and Baby Raves. Pearce, who started out in 2024 making modern/techno takes on children’s classics like “Old McDonald Had a Farm,” is now bringing that touch to Disney Jr. songs. He’s set to remix multiple songs for an album releasing May 15 titled Disney Jr Music: Lenny Pearce Toddler Techno. Some of the songs he’s going to mix up include the themes from Sofia the First and Spidey and His Amazing Friends.

Lingokids gets green with World Wildlife Fund

The content is aimed at five- to eight-year-olds.
