It’s the collaboration dance music fans have waited years for. Powerhouse duo W&W and genre-defying producer KSHMR finally collide on their explosive new single, ‘Bad’, a nostalgia-tinged, high-octane anthem built for the world’s biggest stages. Out now via Rave Culture and Dharma Worldwide, this mainstage monster fuses the golden era of EDM with a future-facing energy that’s impossible to ignore.
Opening with a seductive topline that echoes the hook “I know I’m being bad, but it feels so good,” the track wastes no time delivering impact. Sweeping synths, thunderous low-end, and a drop designed for peak-time chaos ensure ‘Bad’ lives up to its name in the best way possible. The vocal phrasing intertwines seamlessly with the lead melody, creating a dynamic call-and-response effect made for festival singalongs.
Bringing their signature sounds to the table, W&W deliver big-room power and precision, while KSHMR layers in cinematic depth and melodic finesse. The result is a track that channels the high-energy spirit of classic EDM while elevating it for today’s dancefloors. It’s bold, relentless, and undeniably ready to dominate summer setlists.
With over 14 million monthly Spotify listeners and a decade-long reign in the DJ Mag Top 25, W&W remain a staple of mainstage dance culture—regularly igniting crowds at Tomorrowland, Ultra and EDC. Meanwhile, KSHMR, currently ranked #14 in the world, continues to shape the sound of modern electronic music with his globally influenced, storytelling-driven productions and headline sets at Coachella, Tomorrowland, and beyond.
‘Bad’ isn’t just a one-off—it’s a landmark moment between two of the scene’s most influential forces. With both Rave Culture and Dharma Worldwide at the helm, expect this one to go from festival favourite to future classic.
