DIPLO AND MARK RONSON
DEBUT “LOUD”FEATURING
GOLDLINK AND DESIIGNER
Diplo and Mark Ronson premiere the latest track from their collaborative project Silk City earlier this month—listen to “Loud” featuring GoldLink and Desiigner here, which was featured as Zane Lowe’s World Record on Beats 1 on Apple Music. The song is out now on Columbia Records.
“Loud” follows the duo’s “Only Can Get Better” with Daniel Merriweather and “Feel About You” featuring Mapei, as well as a debut festival performance at Governors Ball. Ronson and Diplo headlined the U.K.’s Bestival in early August. It was announced earlier this week that another collaboration with singer Dua Lipa will be released Sept. 7th (via Billboard). This tune is about to bring those end of summer vibes going while anticipating the next release from Silk City.
Early critical praise for Silk City…
“‘Only Can Get Better,’ is a lustrous reverb-heavy disco with echoes of garage music — a little Daft Punk, a little Armand Van Helden. Ecstatic but controlled.”—The New York Times

“Imagine if Michael Jordan and LeBron James got the chance to play on the same team in their primes. That’s essentially what we’re looking at with the union of Mark Ronson and Diplo and the launch of their new vintage club fare-inspired collaboration, Silk City.”—Dancing Astronaut
“It should come as no surprise to anyone that the first track from Diplo and Mark Ronson‘s new collaboration Silk City absolutely bangs. ‘Only Can Get Better’ is the kind of summery house hit that immediately transports you to a tropical beach party, giant cocktail in hand, or a clammy Ibiza club where strangers become best friends.”—NME

They promise to bring a contemporary representation of flamenco dance while honoring the roots of this famed dance style. Join […]
The spirit of the gypsies was colorful and vibrant. As was this weekends ballet performance of Day of the Gypsy at the Harris Theater in Chicago. A live band supported the dancers in the foreground emitting the vibrancy of a culture from fables and fantasy. I recently had the opportunity to speak with Day of the Gypsy‘s creator, Gordon Peirce Schmidt, […]
