Sid Wilson, DJ of masked metalheads Slipknot, has told of how he met Professor Green at a festival in Australia as well as confirming that the pair would be working on a track together.
Green told The Sun earlier in the month that hed be looking at a lot of new collaborations for a new record, and surprised a lot of his fans by mentioning Wilson as one of the likeliest candidates. Now, NME have spoken to the DJ and producer who promised he had plenty of ideas for the rapper.
We've not been together in the studio at the same time or anything, but I've got a lot of ideas in the works for him, Wilson revealed. I ran into him into Australia over at the electronic festival. Me and Clown [Slipknot percussionist Shawn Crahan] went straight there after our tour and I ran into him. I told him I was a total fan and I played his stuff all the time in my truck. I just said let's get down and work together. My family's from England and I grew up on grime, jungle and drum'n'bass so it'll be cool to work with someone who's from that world.
He went on to talk about the sound they would be aiming for, adding: It's going to have a DJ sound, but it'll be dirtier and grimier, with more of a punk rock edge to it. There'll be some guitars maybe, but you'll definitely have to have your ugly face on when you hear it.
