What do you call it when an all-star DJ collective joins forces with a heat-seeking MC whose debut single became the biggest-selling UK single by a British artist this year? No, really, what do you call it? Well, somebody better come up with a name fast because rising MC Tinie Tempah's collaboration with Swedish House Mafia is about to drop and, as you'll see for yourself, partygoers everywhere from Miami to Ibiza are about to have their heads rolled by this infectious track.

"The video is shot in a documentary style, with Tinie Tempah being the storyteller of a relationship from 'Miami 2 Ibiza,'" director Christian Larson tells Spinner. "The idea was get the feel of a slightly illicit stolen videotape from a couple's vacation. The video was shot chronologically and the shoot started in Miami, and ends with actual footage of Swedish House Mafia playing live in Ibiza. The video is also meant to depict a kind of powerful independent woman, someone who takes from life what they want and does what they want."

With all the acronyms and shorthand that appear in the song, 'Miami 2 Ibiza' has tweet-friendly lyrics that should be easy to quote via AIM, BBM or SMS -- take your pick. As for some of the more steamy scenes from the video, well, they make strong arguments for finally planning that summer vacation in Ibiza that all your raver friends have been raving about. Before you check flights, make sure you first check out the video after the jump -- and don't forget to pack your toothbrush.
