The rapper sampled Sir Elton on his new single 'Tiny Dancer (Hold Me Closer)', which also features singer Chipmunk.
"Elton actually called my manager to say he loved the track and that he was a fan of my music," the star told the Daily Star.
"I love the old-school stuff and I've always been into sampling it."
Elton John previously complimented the 21-year old and suggested the pair might work together in the future.
"It could be a possibility that the two of us do something. It would be massive.
"I've only let Tupac and Kanye West sample my stuff. That shows how high I rate Ironik."
DJ Ironik releases 'Tiny Dancer (Hold Me Closer)' on April 27.
