Studio wizard Diplo teases John Mayer collaboration

Diplo has teased he has “new music” with John Mayer on the way.

The 40-year-old studio wizard – who along with his Silk City partner Mark Ronson produced Dua Lipa’s recent smash hit ‘Electricity’ – revealed he’s been in the studio with ‘New Light’ hitmaker by sharing a picture of himself with his new baby goat, which he claims he received as a present for his birthday last week, on Instagram, instead of John, as he felt it would be too “awkward” to ask the 41-year-old Grammy-winning singer/songwriter for a selfie.

Alongside the snap with the miniature farm animal, the studio wizard – who has dating Katy Perry in common with the guitarist – quipped:

I wanted to post a picture of me and @johnmayer last night working in the studio because I know it would have been a moment. Something of a benchmark in my augmented reality of Instagram … But then I never even thought to ask – as the idea of stopping real time (while we were both in a state of creative delight) to create something fake for me to revel in and build engagement around my brand … It just seemed awkward So instead – here is a picture of a baby goat I got in Jamaica for my birthday. And expect some new music with John soon -comment below if your excited
