Superstar DJ collaborates with British hip-hop artist and releases summer smash hit anthem. You're thinking Armand Van Helden / Dizzee Rascal with Bonkers right? Or maybe you were thinking of another pair milking the DJ/urban artist combo. David Guetta and Akon, perhaps? Or David Guetta and Rihanna, David Guetta and Lil' Wayne, or David Guetta and Flo Rida maybe? Come to think of it, are there any R&B artists left out there that Guetta hasn't made a music video featuring a swimming pool and semi-naked women collaborated with?

Well, my friends, we don't need to rely on French DJs to make this dream team a reality anymore, for now we have our very own combo right here in Nottingham; DJ Vimto and Jah Digga, whose music really wouldn't feel too out of place in a David Guetta set.

Vimto's claim to fame comes in the form of Toca's Miracle. The story goes like this; Vimto was the first DJ to conjour up the idea of mixing the acapella of Coco’s I Need a Miracle with Fragma’s Toca Me. Vimto’s illegal bootleg version was played by the likes of Judge Jules and Pete Tong, and eventually Positiva records released it with Fragma where it sold over 500,000 copies and went to number 1 in the UK charts. I wonder if Vimto saw a penny of this money?

Anyway, 11 years later Vimto teamed up with Jah Digga, a 24-year-old youth worker, also from Nottingham. Jah has been writing lyrics since the age of 13 along with his co-writer 2 Tone, and teamed up with Vimto after they took part in a community football project together.

Who knows where this somewhat romantic story will go from here? All I know is, they're playing together on our stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Carlisle on Sunday 15th May, and this track will be on the Radio 1 playlist all this week. Let us know what you think!
