Full Volume is the debut album by Antarctican performer Dancing Penguin. The album was released on April 4, 2011 by Club Penguin Music Records. The album features production from Sound FX, DJ Anesu, Damien Dubz, Tim and Tom and leon.a.rd. It was recorded from August 2010 to March 2011 and does not feature any major guest appearances due to the proposed artists such as Meaghan and Cadence being too busy to record for the album. Full Volume serves as the career boost points for pop producers Sound FX and DJ Anesu. The album consists of pop and dance songs as influenced by Dancing Penguin's dancing career and the Club Penguin Night Club. The next year, Dancing Penguin followed up the album with Speakerz (2012).
Five singles were released from the album - three before the album release and two after; "Heat Up the Bass", "I Need That" featuring Sound FX, "Fire Flames" featuring DJ Anesu, "In the Night Club" and "Turn It Down". All singles charted in the top 40 of Antarctican charts but some performed better than others. Full Volume was met with mixed reviews from critics - with many critics believing that Dancing Penguin lacked originality and substance due to his choice to make 'generic pop music'. Nonetheless, some of the production and structures were praised despite the basic and cheesy lyrics. Despite maximum promotion campaigns, the album didn't manage to peak at number 1 in any charts - peaking at number 4 in Club Penguin, number 3 in USA and only number 37 in UnitedTerra - selling 14,000, 176,630 and 8,530 respectively.
