Gorillaz released "Doncamatic," featuring British singer Daley, on 21 November 2010, as a download first and on a physical format the next day. The title is a gearhead's in-joke: it points to Korg's Donca-Matic DA-20, the company's first rhythm machine, from 1963, and a later model of that box can be spotted in the video, fixed to the right-hand side of the machine behind Daley.
Gorillaz produced it and share the writing credit with Daley, with Stephen Sedgwick engineering and Jason Cox on the mix, and it leans hard into synth-pop. It reached 37 in the UK, and as of 2024 it was still the band's last trip into the UK top 40. It later turned up, along with a remix by Joker, as a bonus track on Plastic Beach's French CD reissue.
