The British musician posted an Instagram photo showing Skrillex and past collaborator Blaqstarr fiddling with their laptops, with the caption “on MATAHDATAH.”
This Skrillex partnership makes so much sense: They’ve both worked with Diplo (maybe the dubstep king can foster a truce between Diplo and Maya), they both work well in the hip-hop world and even though M.I.A. is considered pop, she’s been making noisy digital music since the pre-EDM 2000s, before knob-turners ascended to headline status.

Speaking about the process of making M.I.A.’s album, the ‘Bangarang’ songwriter said, “We were just literally having fun, sitting with our laptops, on the floor of our hotel room. That is how we came up with organic, fun and fresh ideas. Blaqstarr – one of my favorite producers from Baltimore was there with us as well. So, this mixture of the three of us actually worked well.”
