Calvin Harris has revealed that he will be collaborating with Dizzee Rascal after the pair met at a music festival in the summer.
Harris started chatting to the London rapper when they both appeared at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Preston in May and swapped numbers.
The 'Acceptable In the 80s' hitmaker said: "I'm trying to get something done with Dizzee Rascal at the moment.
"We met last summer and first discussed the idea of doing something together then. It was a mutual decision really - we just exchanged numbers and said we should do something and that was that.
"It is taking a bit of time, though, because we are doing it over the internet. It has being going back and forth for several months so, hopefully, we will be able to tie that up next year."
He insisted that his next album will be even better than his previous one, telling the Daily Record: "When I recorded the tracks for my first album ( I Created Disco), I was just recording a bunch of songs that I didn't know were going to be released. But this time, I know these songs are going to be released so I am making them as amazing as I possibly can."
Harris added: "Next year is looking busy. I did a few festivals in Europe last year and I'm planning to go back again in 2008.
"It will be a bit weird because my first album is due to come out in France in February and, because I am planning to have my second album out at the end of next summer, I might end up promoting two different albums at the same time."
