Oh ok, sorry.
There is not link there, so I'm copying the interview here.
Quote:
"She (Gaga) came into Zedd's studio, her producer, while he was working on our track", says I-zen. "It was one of its first demos she immediately fell in love with. Zedd called us saying "There's a problem. Lady Gaga wants your song."
We had some serious deliberation, we see ourselves as a band with a high artistic integrity and we avoid commercialization and doing cheap things such as Britney or Gaga. But suddenly there's a concrete offer on the table and saying "No" is a mistake, because it's a guaranteed lifelong pension. Each time the song is being played or sold, we get some pretty nice royalties. So we decided to give her the melody, as long as we are signed under our private names. We felt embarrassment for our fans. But she refused, she wanted "Infected Mushroom" to be credited. So, we decided to go for it thinking it won't make the cut or she'll eventually change her mind.
But she didn't. Do you like the result?
No. I think it's an artistic compromise. The song is too cheesy and commercialized. The way her vocals are over the melody is bad. But, what do I know about pop hits? we are honored that someone off Gaga's league found potential in our track and loved it.

I love Aura and Still Love but wow! Hipsterism is strong in this one
Gaga is probably the only pop star that would be able to get that track though, I can't imagine them saying yes to anyone else, especially if they had a hard time giving it to Gaga.
So far for their artistic integrity though, they paid that dust and went for the money first chance they got
The biggest drag in there is about themselves They didn't feel shame towards their fans, they were scared for their reactions so they are trying to cover their asses with these comments.. if artistic integrity was so important they'd never have complied and given it to her
Infected Mushroom seems to be so worried about doing something mainstream that it sickens me. It's not like they have this huge following anyway. They followed me first on twitter in 2012 and I had no idea who they were and didn't follow them back
I'm so angry right now. Those bastards.
they dragged her and praised her at the same time
at Gaga forcing them to be credited as Infected Mushroom
