The prince of dubstep is trying to lay low right now, but that hasn’t stopped him from messing around with his famous friends.

“I’m pretty nomadic, kinda lone wolf-y,” Skrillex told Veronica and Lewis. “I get my backpack and my computer and I’ll just go to studios. I’ll meet whoever, I’m just always out with my backpack and in and out of different sessions, catching vibes.”

Sometimes, those 'vibes' manifest in the form of superstar collaborations and remixes, like his rework of Kendrick Lamar's 'Humble'. While the producer doesn’t know when it’s coming out, he’s “really excited to drop it ASAP,” and told triple j that Kendrick’s team is very on-board with the remix. “I know that Kendrick has heard it and he loved it. It was a bootleg remix that I was doing. It wasn’t even official, and I didn’t really hear back [from Kendrick’s team], but then I played it live and I guess he and his camp heard it and were like ‘We need this.’”

It's unlikely you'll be hearing the Kendrick remix live any time soon though: the producer tells us he’s “not really playing shows right now.”

Aside from collaborations, the most recent solo material we’ve heard from Skrillex is ‘Would You Ever’, which featured Australian skater Milan Somerville – the Hairy Longboarder – in its music video. Chatting to Veronica and Lewis, Skrilldog revealed how he came across the Sunshine Coast legend. “My friend Liam Underwood, who’s my next door neighbour, found this guy a year ago, before we thought about shooting the video,” he said. “I actually composed the drop to his skateboarding moves … I tried to think ‘What kind of drop would this guy be dancing to?’ and that’s how the song came about.”

The Hairy Longboarder isn’t the only Antipodean star that the producer is collaborating with. “I just did some [work] on Kimbra’s new album,” he told triple j. “I feel like music – especially electronic music – is just good vibes [in Australia].”

Between doing sessions and 'catching vibes', Skrilly also makes time to hang out with all his famous mates. He told us about a bizarre hang he had with Katy Perry, Diplo, A$AP Ferg and Hannibal Buress: “Katy Perry and Diplo were just hanging out, and Hannibal Buress was on the couch, and it just turned into a big freestyle sesh. I think Katy Perry had all these five-hour interview drink shots that she tried to make me drink and I didn’t do it, so I just ended up writing with A$AP Ferg and freestyling bad ad-libs. I think Ferg might have the files somewhere.” If you’re hoping to hear that session, though, you’re out of luck – “I don’t think they’ll ever see the light of day,” says the producer. Sorry 'bout it.
