Delivering innovative sound while simultaneously bringing rhythm to the dancefloor, Axel Thesleff hails from Helsinki, Finland and is a brilliant artist. He truly created something extraordinarily fresh with his brand new VIP remix of an all-time classic of his, titled “Bad Karma.” This is one of the many tracks that brought Thesleff to the place where he is today. The release of the “Bad Karma (VIP)” mix brings a celebratory sound to the original that has been played out worldwide for a decade.

The original tune, produced back in 2014, just had its 10th anniversary! Gaining over a billion streams across platforms, Axel Thesleff has been renowned for his genre-defying across stages around the world.

The music video of the original, which has over 130 million views on Youtube, allows listeners to gain deeper meaning from the song as the video depicts a bitter message from its Punjabi lyrics that translates to “Don’t be proud of your money, as it will never satisfy you.” That delivers a message everyone can hear with open ears and hearts.

We are so happy for Thesleff and all his success over the years, and this VIP is just a reminder of how genre-dying his music can be. The original is almost seven minutes long, expressing a wide range of sounds. However, the remix is just under three minutes and compacts the new sound into an all-out banger. Thesleff’s talent for bringing out sounds that can connect those all across the world is simply exquisite.

Speaking of worldwide – we have more exciting news! This VIP remix is just the beginning of an entire album to be released by Thesleff, featuring remixes of “Bad Karma” from other talented electronic producers including artists from India, the United States, Canada, and Poland! A few names to look forward to include MEMBA, SickFlip, ATYYA, and Chet Porter. There is beauty behind witnessing an artist celebrate their success by returning to their roots, in a fresh new fashion.

We are beyond jazzed for the full album release to come, filled with diverse, innovative remixes, and we hope you loved this new VIP as much as we did! Let us know what you think on our socials or down in the comments below!
