This panda isn't sneezing

The White Panda is a "band" that's relatively under the radar, having made 4 full length albums mixing both electronic/ dubstep with Hip-hop and Rap music, even mixing some Classic Rock  as well. The group is made up of two childhood friends Tom Evans (Procrast) and Dan Griffith (DJ Griffi) who realized that they were doing the exact same thing at the same time; mixing freaking amazing music. They make many types of songs but most of them consist of mixing two popular songs together.


One really interesting song they've made is called "Kryptonite Island," which is a mix of 3 Doors Down's Kryptonite, and Pendulum's song "The Island." When I first heard it, I was pleasantly surprised mostly because I never thought that Rock and Dubstep could ever mix.  But somehow these two men do it...and do it really well. 


Another one of my personal favorites is a song called "Bittersweet Donald," consisting of Mac Miller's "Donald Trump" and The Bittersweet Symphony.  The song's mix of hardcore rap lyrics and peaceful and symphonic melodies flow really well to create an amazing beat for the audiences' pleasure. 



A really cool aspect about this band is that they not only mix hip-hop and electronic music together, they also incorporate some classic Rock and Roll as well.  Two really stuck out to me, one called "Tongue Tied Tiger," using "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor, the other "Cold Overdrive," featuring Foreigner's "Cold as Ice."



These guys are great! The up-beat and energetic style of their songs are real pick-me-ups  and overall just really cool.  What's even better about these guys is on their website (conveniently placed right here http://www.thewhitepanda.com/music)  they give a link to a free download of all of their songs...uhhh yes please. Why not try them, I mean, it is free.
