Chase & Status were shocked when Rihanna called them in the middle of the night.
The duo worked with the Barbadian beauty on her album 'Rated R' after she rang Saul Milton while he was asleep in bed with his girlfriend.
He said: "Our manager, Joe, had been talking with Jay Brown at Roc Nation. I got a call from Jay Brown who said, 'I've had a chat with Rihanna. You've got to do a session with us.' The night goes on and day goes on, then at 5am my phone rings and my girlfriend at the time is asleep next to me. 'Hey Saul, it's Rihanna' My girlfriend goes, 'Who's that?' and I whisper, 'It's Rihanna!' It was a strange time to get a call but Rihanna said she loved the tunes, particularly 'Eastern Jam'. Within a week we were in the studio with her, Mr Hudson, Pharrell, Drake..."
And his fellow producer Will Kennard was thrilled to get a MySpace message from Snoop Dogg.
Speaking on 'Relentless Ultra Presents Soundchain With Zane Lowe & Chase & Status', he said: "The first big thing that happened for us was a MySpace message from Snoop Dogg. It was something like 'Yo, I like your tune Eastern Jam. Send it to me. Church Ch-chow'. We sent him the track and two days later he sent it back - He did his own version, 'Snoop Dog Millionaire'!"

Damon Albarn thinks rock stars need to do more work.
The former Blur frontman believes artists should follow his example and put more time into their music rather than waiting for inspiration to pop into their heads.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, he said: "When I'm at home, I work nine-to-five, five days a week, period. If you do that, you get a f***ing lot done!
"The mythology of rock 'n' roll encourages you to wait for inspiration. But if you go back to early songwriters, it was just their job. They got up in the morning, had a gin and tonic and worked.
"I'm the same. I just don't do the gin and tonic!"
Meanwhile, the 46-year-old hunk would love to team up with former Oasis star Noel Gallagher at some point because he believes they'd make good music together.
He explained: "I love the craic of having fun with other musicians. Noel is a great musician and such a funny guy to be around.
"He's great company, and sometimes that's as good a reason as any to make music with someone."
Damon is currently busy with his first solo album 'Everyday Robots', which was released in April, but he recently revealed he's signed on to write a musical.
He said earlier this month: "It's funny for me to say 'I'm writing a musical', but, yes, that's what I'm doing next.
"It's something I've always wanted to do because musicals are great when they're done well."

Rita Ora kept forgetting her lines whilst filming her scenes in 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'
The 23-year-old singer - who landed the role of Mia Grey in the erotic drama - had someone feeding her script to her through an earpiece because nerves got the better of her and she couldn't remember her words.
Speaking to 'Access Hollywood', she said: "I had to have someone in my ear on set telling me what to say before I said it because I was honestly like so nervous I forgot everything that I had learnt."
However, the blonde beauty credits her co-star Dakota Johnson - who plays the leading lady Anastasia Steele - for helping her get over her first-time acting fears.
She explained: "She's [Dakota is] a great friend of mine and she really eased me, and she was really nice to take care of me."
Meanwhile, the 'RIP' hitmaker - who has read all three novels by E. L. James - feels incredibly proud to have been chosen to take part in the movie adaptation, which is being directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson.
She said: "The movie is as visually close as it can be [to the book]. I think the actors are phenomenal in this and I'm just kind of honoured to be on the same wavelength as them.
"This being my first movie, it's pretty awesome."
'Fifty Shades of Grey' is set for release next year.

Ola Jordan thinks Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli should be dropped from 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The professional dancer believes the judging panel on the show needs to be shaken up, but says head judge Len Goodman and former ballerina Darcey Bussell deserve to keep their seats.
She told OK! magazine: "Every year they change the dancers and we have new presenters now, so why not swap the judges? They are too comfortable. Let's get them nervous about the next series.
"[Who would I get rid of?] Well, I love Len because he is from a ballroom background and he is great anyway, and Darcey is lovely too, so I would keep them. Let's just say that."
Ola's husband James Jordan was recently dropped as a professional on the show, and despite tension between him and Craig, she doesn't think the judge is the reason behind his axing.
She said: "I think if Craig had anything to do with it, James wouldn't have returned a long time ago."
Ola's comments about the panel come after James also said he felt Bruno and Craig deserved to be fired.
He said: "It's the two on the end I don't like. One of them, I don't understand a word he says so I would get rid of him.
"And Craig is just rude. He's not a nice person. I'd be a great judge. I wouldn't treat it like a pantomime."

James 'Arg' Argent lost two stone to get Lydia Bright back.
The larger than life star, 26, has revealed he made sure he shed some pounds when he found out his ex-girlfriend, 23, was going to be returning to 'The Only Way is Essex'.
When asked how he felt when he heard she was going to be on the ITV2 reality show again, he replied: "My heart flipped. I knew I'd be spending time with her. I knew that it was time to sort my life out, so I lost two stone."
Arg admits he has been on a one-man mission to sort himself out in an attempt to get Lydia to notice him and win her back, but he is aware it's going to take time.
He added to Now magazine: "It's a long game. I'm maturing and Lydia's noticed. I'm moving out of home, I want to pass my driving test ... I want to impress Lydia.
"I know you should do things for yourself - and they say you can't love unless you love yourself. But everything I do is for Lydia."
Arg must have been doing something right as the pair - who split two years ago - recently slept together.

Kate Moss allegedly "blagged" her way onto a flight from Turkey to London without a ticket on Monday (28.07.14).
The supermodel, 40, reportedly turned up at Bodrum Airport intoxicated following a detox vacation at the LifeCo in Göltürkbükü, and held up a queue of customers waiting to board EasyJet's flight to London Gatwick after appearing to forget her boarding pass.
An eyewitness told the MailOnline: "The general consensus was that she didn't have a ticket but after chatting to the manager for some time she was whisked off and ushered on to a flight.
"It was pretty obvious that Kate had had a bit to drink as she was talking loudly and didn't seem worried about being seen."
The flight was late arriving at the British airport after it took off from Turkey two hours and 21 minutes behind schedule, but the blonde beauty didn't seem fazed by the delay and spent the flight chatting to fellow flyers.
One passenger, Rayanne, took to Twitter after the flight to share her experience, tweeting: "Just got off my flight with a very drunk Kate Moss."
While another customer, Amelia, added: "Seen Kate Moss drunk in the airport."

Liam Neeson still hasn't come to terms with his wife's death five years ago.
The 'Taken' star was left heartbroken when he switched off Natasha Richardson's life support in 2009 following a tragic ski accident and he admits he still expects to "hear her" walk through the door at times.
He said: "Her death was never real. It still kind of isn't. There's periods now when I hear the door opening, especially the first couple of years ... anytime I hear that door opening, I still think I'm going to hear her."
The 62-year-old actor also opened up about the devastating moment he realised it was time to end her life after doctors told him his wife was brain dead.
He explained to Loaded magazine: "I went in to her and I just told her I loved her. I said, 'Sweetie, you're not coming back from this.'
"She and I had made a pact. If any of us got into a vegetative state we'd pull the plug.
"So when I saw her and saw all these tubes and stuff that was my immediate thought, 'OK, these tubes have to go. She's gone'."
However, Liam - who has sons Micheál, 18, and Daniel, 17, with Natasha - admits throwing himself back into work hasn't helped ease the pain.
He said: "It hits you. It's like a wave. You just get this profound feeling of instability.
"The earth isn't stable any more and then it passes and it becomes more infrequent, but I still get it sometimes."

Chris Pratt never imagined himself playing a superhero.
The 35-year-old actor stars as Peter Quill aka Star Lord in James Gunn's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and he's revealed he never saw himself taking on that kind of role when he began his career in acting.
Commenting on whether he had to prove himself in his audition, he said: "I'm not sure that I even saw myself in this kind of a role.
"What's really nice about this movie is that I believe we did something that's never been done before ... So, maybe people wouldn't have seen me in this role, but that's because they weren't able to have the vision that James [Gunn, director] had for what this could be."
Pratt - who is best known for having parts in 'Zero Dark Thirty' and comedy series 'Parks and Recreation' - admits he was questioning what direction to take in his career before signing on to star alongside Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista in GOTG.
He told Collider: "At the time [of my audition], I had been having an identity crisis, as an actor. I didn't know what I was and whether I was an action guy or a comedy guy.
"I thought, 'Maybe I could do a combination of both, but there's nothing out there that's like that. Maybe I have to develop something'. And my manager just kept saying, 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. So, I said, 'Maybe you're right. Let's go meet on it'. And then, James said, 'I just want somebody to do their thing'."

Alicia Silverstone threw a vegan bash at a farm for her son Bear's third birthday.
The 'Clueless' star, who is married to Christopher Jarecki, invited friends and family to Farm Sanctuary's Southern California Shelter for the event, where her little boy was thrilled when staff named a lamb in his honour.
The 37-year-old beauty opened up about the special event on her blog TheKindLife.com, writing: "We had the sweetest time celebrating Bear's birthday at Farm Sanctuary. From loving up the animals to a raging drum circle with the most delicious vegan food and sunshine -- it was a fun-filled and happy day."
She added: "At the end of the day, the Farm Sanctuary staff surprised Bear with an incredible birthday gift. They had just rescued a baby lamb (eight days old!!) that was found abandoned in a barn in LA country and decided to name her Bear! She was still in a fragile state so she couldn't be exposed to large groups of people but once the majority of guests took off she was brought out. She was so gentle and adorable. Bear was thrilled. It was beautiful."
Alicia has previously attracted criticism for some of her parenting decisions, including her son's vegan diet, chewing his food before giving it to him, and ingesting her placenta through a pill.
But she recently said: "As far as critics, I'm very secure in the choices I make because I'm really informed and I trust my instincts and when I need help, I go to the people I see parent or birth or be pregnant in a way that was really inspiring me. And the rest is just noise."

Ethan Hawke says he has an "intense friendship" with his wife, Ryan Hawke.
The 43-year-old actor, who previously claimed he didn't believe in monogamy, insists he has a "fantastic" relationship with his spouse of six years.
He said: "My wife [keeps me grounded]. It's the most intense friendship I've ever known, and it's been fantastic for me. Everything in my life works when that's working."
Ethan once admitted he didn't know what the future held for him and Ryan.
He said: "People have such a childish view of monogamy and fidelity. 'He's cheated so he's bad, she's cheated so she's bad,' as opposed to a recognition that our species is not monogamous. To act all indignant, that your world has been rocked because your lover wasn't faithful to you, is a little bit like acting rocked that your hair went grey. Human beings are sexual beings."
Meanwhile, the 'Boyhood' star, who has daughters Clementine, six, and Indiana, three, with Ryan, and daughter Maya, 16, and son, Levon, 12, with ex-wife Uma Thurman, also says he always wanted to be a father.
He told Beach magazine: "Being a father is one of the most natural things--it's the rest of life that's so hard. Co-parenting, finding the right school--all of that c**p is a giant headache. But being a father is incredibly simple. I always wanted to be a father."

Katy Perry partied with Diplo in Las Vegas on Monday night (28.07.14).
The 'Dark Horse' hitmaker, who reportedly rekindled her romance with the DJ, real name Thomas Pentz, last month, was spotted enjoying a cosy dinner with him and 12 other pals at Andrea's restaurant inside Encore at the Wynn hotel to celebrate a friend's birthday.
A source told E! News that the couple ordered an assortment of sushi, ice cream and a flaming Mt. Fuji dessert before they headed to XS nightclub, where Diplo took over the DJ booth.
The singer, 29, and her pals sipped cocktails and danced the night away during his performance.
Katy, who split from John Mayer earlier this year, was first linked to the music producer at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California in April.
They ended their fling a month later, but reunited for a holiday in Jamaica last month.
A source previously claimed that the duo called off their relationship because it was moving too quickly and Diplo, 35, wanted to introduce the 'Roar' singer to his family.
The insider said: "Diplo broke up with her because she does not want to be in a serious relationship. She's doing OK and not too sad about it. They wanted different things."

Adrienne Bailon claims dating Rob Kardashian hurt her career.
The 30-year-old singer, who split from the reality TV star in 2009 after two years of dating and later underwent laser treatment to get a tattoo of his name removed from her butt, admits she regrets making cameos on his family's E! series, 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians.'
She told Latina magazine: "To be stuck with that Kardashian label, that was so hurtful to me and to my career. I probably realised that too late -- not that it would've affected my decisions in terms of who I dated, but it would've affected my decision to appear on the show.
"At the time, I didn't think anyone would even care. To this day, people will still say, 'You ruined Rob's life!' and I'll think, Damn, I was still playing with Barbie dolls when I met him."
Adrienne also claims she felt under pressure to stay with Rob after he cheated on her.
She said: "It's common knowledge that he cheated on me, and it always bothered me that people were like, 'Pero, why couldn't you forgive him?' Why are women always the ones who have to forgive? If you cheated on a man, he would be like, 'You're disgusting, and I want nothing to do with you.' But women, we're supposed to be like, 'He messed up. He made a mistake.' "
She added: "And, in my situation, it wasn't like, 'Oh my God! I made a mistake!' He strategically planned things out so that he could cheat on me, and that to me was so disloyal."
