The 39-year-old Afghan-born house producer worked on six tracks with Madonna and at least five of these will be included in the new album.  A former member of French art school punk group Taxi Girl, Mirwais states "the biggest surprise lies in simplicity." Madonna, who became an instant fan after listening to Disco Science, Mirwais' debut single off Production? "I was free to work but within her limits." He adds: "When you work with someone - it doesn't matter if it's Madonna or people I've worked with in the past you have to respect them. When she didn't agree with me I'd try to find a compromise."

Known in France for the better part of two decades, Mirwais Ahmadzai was a guitarist in the seminal punk group Taxi Girl for 8 years before forming acoustic outfit Juliette et les independents.

Now creating a sort of guitar-meets-electronica hybrid, Mirwais says "Music is music. It is exactly the same (no matter what style you make) because you have exactly the same problems. On the technical side it is different because with electronic music in theory you can control everything, but things are more complicated when you mix both."

"He gave her the record and the video and she loved them both. He called me back to ask me if I wanted to work with her on one or two tracks… in the end we finished six tracks!" he chuckles.
