Bio:
The White Panda formed when two boyhood friends discovered they had independently embarked on mash-up careers in college. Chicago-based Procrast (Tom Evans) first blended Rick Astley snippets with 2 Live Crew grooves as a way to avoid productive activity, while DJ Griffi (Dan Griffith) embarked on the same mission, for a similar purpose, in L.A. Their combined effort, the White Panda, launched in 2009 with a single that topped internet radio charts days later.
Critics lauded the guys for accelerating the reverberating nature of contemporary pop music. By harnessing the sounds of the moment before they become everyday tunes, Tthe White Panda changed—and changes—the way listeners grasp the musical landscape.
