A new remix of Michael Jackson’s 1987 song “Bad” was first released on August 14th, 2012 as an iTunes and Amazon digital single promoting ‘Bad25’. It features a collaboration between Pitbull and Dutch DJ Afrojack, and is titled “Bad (Afrojack Remix) [feat. Pitbull] [DJ Buddha Edit] – Single”. The song also appears on the ‘Bad25’ album.
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.”
