Gotye is teaming up with celebrated hitmaker Dr. Luke to create a new pop super-duo.

The Somebody That I Used to Know hitmaker recently met up with the songwriter in Los Angeles and he admits he's excited about writing hits for the likes of longtime Luke collaborator Katy Perry.

Gotye tells Rolling Stone magazine, "I went up to his place in the Hollywood Hills... I'd do it (work with Dr Luke) out of curiosity.

"Like, 'Who is this person and what would I write for them? How do I wanna play with their vibe?'"

And he'd quite like to work with Perry "I'm a fan of Katy Perry. I like what she does with her voice".
