Hi everyone, I've been working with the multitracks of '2 Bad', on and off, for about a year, creating this new mix, my second '2 Bad' remix.

Please give it a listen or bookmark it for later & If you enjoy it, perhaps even re-share it so it can find a broader audience.

I hope you enjoy it.

Michael Jackson: Dangerous

(Adobe generative fill with no prompts).
An AI image of the interior of a dilapidated building, possibly a chapel or shrine, heavily layered with paint and decaying materials. The walls are covered in a chaotic mix of paint splatters, damaged religious iconography, and metallic debris. A large, central painted panel appears to depict religious imagery incorporating Michael Jackson's Dangerous album cover image. The floor is cracked concrete with large spills and splashes of red, orange, and green paint. The overall atmosphere is one of decay and artistic layering.

It's nice that BlueSky doesn't have adverts, I don't miss them but here's a cheeky advert for California Raisins.

Animation by Will Vinton who worked with Michael Jackson on captain EO, then later on Speed Demon for Moonwalker.

A fan-compiled collection of Michael Jackson's deep cuts.

A significant improvement on the estate's advertised "deep cuts" playlist (which I always found lacking).

This collection spans over five hours and features tracks from 1970 to 2018.
