Meet Lenny Pearce, the ‘Toddler Techno’ DJ Throwing Raves for Children

Currently on tour in the U.S., the Australian artist is getting tiny fists pumping with his dance edits of kids' classics.

It’s one of many canonical children’s songs that Pearce has made dance remixes of, forging a genre he calls “toddler techno,” and with it carving out a niche space in the touring world with his baby raves. Pearce is playing traditional pop/rock venues like Los Angeles’ Roxy Theater, The Brooklyn Bowl and Chicago’s Outset, and a bigger fall tour currently in the planning stages. Pearce, who has a warm personality, a wide smile and a long, colorful braid that in fact gives him an aptly cartoonish quality, says kids have always just naturally been drawn to him, making him the perfect artist to play a party designed for families.
