Our wait for a new single from M.I.A.’s long-awaited Matangi album continues, but in the meantime, Danja (who produced her 2012 hit “Bad Girls,” which, in case you forgot, we weren’t really feeling) previews another song the two recorded together in his “Throwback Track Thursday” vlog. Entitled “Doobie,” this track is a high-energy, drum-heavy anthem, complete with M.I.A.’s London-twanged chanting. There’s no word on when—or even if—this track will see the light of day, but feel free to give it plenty of spins below.

Miss Info: The SXSW convention is around the corner and while most folks focus on the feeding frenzies of the Tech panels (our boy Eddie Huang just told us he’ll be doing two panels to promote his new Fresh Off the Boat book phenomenon!) and the Music showcases….there is also a ton of energy surrounding the SXSW film festival. The lineup is becoming the alt-Sundance and this year, one of the documentaries that we will be looking forward to is Downloaded. The doc is directed by Alex Winter (the same guy who costarred with Keanu Reeves in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure!!!) and traces the explosion and implosion of Napster, the file downloading program that really started the digital music revolution.
