Global dance music phenomenon Jax Jones teams up with groundbreaking label Eastern Margins to unleash electrifying new single 'Bad Boys'.
The track is a high-octane collaboration featuring the pop-distrupting Rebecca Black and co-production from staple of London club culture, sooyeon (formerly Oh Annie Oh). He’s been teasing this track at sets at some of the biggest superclubs and renowned festivals from Pacha, Ibiza to Fuji Rock, Japan, certifying it as a club anthem for 2025.
Since uprooting his life to Thailand’s capital at the end of 2023, Jax Jones has been exploring a new area of the world, its diverse musical slate, as well as the innermost aspects of his own identity. Soaking in the nocturnal megacity’s beautiful chaos and joyous mania, travelling more of Asia and meeting more people of a similar mixed upbringing along the way, Jones has embarked on a wild journey of discovery where the sounds and cultures of the ESEA regions have come to inform this new direction that embraces the redline ethos of the bubbling far East and the diasporic West underground scenes.

On the track, Jax says, “I was thinking about how streaming platforms, using AI – are so good at creating the “perfect playlist” but it encouraged me to become more of an active listener. I wanted to research new music and immerse in sub-genres myself, like budots coming out of the Philippines, rather than it being done for me. This is organic discovery via friends or actively engaging in the musical community. I’ve been fully locked in on this journey of discovery which has informed this harder, more faster sound and I hope it engages listeners from London to Bangkok!”
