Girl Talk, aka Pittsburgh-based producer/performer Gregg Gillis, and Erick the Architect from Flatbush Zombies have connected for a new collaborative single called “Trouble in Paradise.”
The song, which samples Julian Casablancas + The Voidz, premiered in the end credits of last night’s episode of HBO’s Silicon Valley (ep 5: Facial Recognition).

Gillis comments:
“I’m a fan of Flatbush Zombies, so I met up with Erick last time I was in New York. I played him some music that I was working on, and he later jumped on one of the beats. I loved what he did, but I started playing with the acapella over some different ideas. That’s something I always like to do, based on years of doing remixes. The Julian Casablancas and The Voidz sample really clicked with the initial idea, so we reworked the song, and it transformed into something more menacing and heavy.”
