A second Afrojack remix of Michael Jackson’s 1987 song “Bad”, (not featuring Pitbull and DJ Buddha), was released on the ‘Bad25’ album: “Bad (Remix by Afrojack) – Club Mix”.
Afrojack: “I turn 25 in September. My mom used to own her own dancing school and she did a lot of choreography to the Michael Jackson songs. I used to be a little bit of a dancer myself, but just for fun. That’s when I first heard of it, through my baby years.”
Afrojack: “The sonic professionalism of the original ‘Bad’ album was just next level….this was the newest of the newest, like crazy stereo effects, on a technical level of engineering and music production.”
