Galantis And Maxum’s “Peanut Butter Jelly” VIP Fails To Impress

After the turn of the year, artists spanning the entire music industry put out new tracks and remixes to start 2016 off on a strong note.

Teaming up with Toronto, Ontario DJ/producer Maxum, the Swedish duo have put out a variation in production of their 2015 track “Peanut Butter Jelly.” The original track was certainly a memorable part of their debut album, but the VIP’s edits are so inconsequential that you have to wonder why they even needed to include another artist in their creative process.
