SoySauce - Thug Panda ft. Andy Milonakis (Lunch Money Project)

This is another free download coming courtesy of SoySauce.  You may remember us posting about his track Broken Record with Joni Fatora back in early February, and a little bit about his upcoming Lunch Money project. If the Lunch Box project doesn't sound familiar, let me introduce you. While Thug Panda is available as a free download, it will also available as a paid track though iTunes as part of the Lunch Money EP release in May.  If you purchase the track through iTunes as part of the Lunch Money EP, all proceeds from the sales will go toward setting up school lunch projects in some of the world's poorest communities. It's tough to concentrate fully at school on an empty stomach, and many kids who have this issue are also faced with other difficult issues that affect their ability to be successful in school.  If you decide to put up a couple bucks and purchase the EP through iTunes when it is released in May, you are helping to feed a child and enable them to succeed in school by lowering at least one of their barriers to learning.

Thug Panda starts out fairly chill and unsuspecting, then things start to heat up at about the 50 second mark.  As a Thug Panda is wont to do, this one will sneak up on you.  Least of all was I expecting the rap from Andy Milonakis that drops in at the 2:18 mark.  While the rap on this may not be your cup of tea, SoySauce has reassured a number of people already that the EP will include an instrumental of Thug Panda as a bonus track.  So feed children, AND get this instrumental by picking up the iTunes release in May.  It's a win-win here folks.

Stream the track below, and watch SoySauce's social media for the release of the Lunch Money EP coming sometime in May.

SoySauce - Broken Record (ft. Joni Fatora) (Louis The Child Remix)

What style would this be classified as? Electro Pop? Future Beats? Chilled Bass Music? Whatever style you try to pigeonhole this one into, it's hard to deny the fact that it's super enjoyable on so many levels.

The intro threw me off a bit I have to say, it sounds kind of like a lo-fi digitally distorted synth, and I was already wondering where this was going to go. Enter Joni Fatora on vocals at 0:32, and the track went from what I thought was going to be just a happy, different sounding instrumental, into full blown sugar pop territory - and I say that in all the best ways. If this one had me hooked when the vocal dropped, I was long gone when the drop came, still under a minute into the track.

Check out Louis The Child's Soundcloud, and hit the shopping cart in the player below to get to the free downloads page, where there are a bunch more remixes for free as well.

If you want to hear the original from Soy Sauce, I also have to give it a full plug, if only for the awesome way that they released it.  Broken Record is available both as a free download, and as a paid track through iTunes. However, if you purchase it through iTunes with Soy Sauce's Lunch Money EP, all proceeds from the EP are going toward setting up school lunch projects in some of the world's poorest communities through the project Everybody Eats. It's hard to concentrate fully at school on an empty stomach, and many kids who have this issue are also faced with other difficult issues that affect their ability to be successful in school. If you decide to purchase through iTunes, you are helping to feed a child and enable them to succeed in school by lowering at least one of their barriers. Check out the original below and watch for the iTunes release sometime in February to help out with the cause.
