In badminton, Denmark have been traditionally known for nurturing a pool of talents capable of toppling the Asian powerhouses and adding a competitive edge to the sport. Though in 2011, the Danes have brought their contribution to the sport to a new level and creatively so.

Last autumn, three talented Danish musicians, Rasmus Berg, Nicholas Kvaran and E Thornhal, came together to write and compose a tune that the Badminton World Federation (BWF) is proud to announce the production as the official BWF World Superseries anthem.

In celebration of the third OSIM BWF World Superseries Premier event that will take centre stage at the Yonex Denmark Open in less than a fortnight’s time, we are pleased to release the official BWF World Superseries anthem for download on the BWF World Superseries website.

Three versions of the anthem are available for download – the full anthem, the widely recognized sound bite often heard during various processions at the BWF World Superseries tournaments, as well as, a ‘fun’ dance remix version.

“We hope that having an official anthem will enhance our fans’ experience in following the BWF World Superseries”, said BWF COO Thomas Lund, “and at the same time it’d create a stronger and more tangible identity for the series.”

About the anthem composer Rasmus Berg
Rasmus Berg was a keen junior badminton player in Denmark, playing mostly men's doubles against boys from Denmark who later became well-known names, such as Jens Eriksen and Martin Lundgaard Hansen. At around the age of 16, Rasmus had more success with his music than with badminton, and after graduating from High School, Rasmus and his two band mates moved to California to work with some of the big names of the trade such as Easy E and Snoop Doggy Dog - and Michael Johnson.

The trio produced several platinum winning successes then and there, lived from spaghetti and ketchup and learnt a lot. After their return to Denmark he and his hip-hop band "Den Gale Pose" became very well known, producing and performing top hits over a few years. Since then Rasmus and band mate Nicholas Kvaran have run a Music Production business "Madness4Real" in Copenhagen, while the frontman rapper of the band Jesper Dahl has gone solo - all with success in their respective area.
