Posted by: TMD_24Quavo 3rd January 2018, 07:30 PM
New joint project from Diplo & Mark Ronson coming in June 2018 called Silk City and it's a disco album!! 
Posted by: BridgeCow 3rd January 2018, 08:17 PM
ooooh I remember hearing something about this a while ago, nice to see it's coming out finally, but disco album tho :/
Posted by: mdf 3rd January 2018, 08:52 PM
If its disco I hope its electronic disco (it probably will be though)
Posted by: Cremey 3rd January 2018, 09:00 PM
Can’t wait for this. Don’t let me down, Diplo.
Posted by: Inna Selez 5th January 2018, 05:42 PM
No doubt that this duo will make something special. Excited about it. 
Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌴 22nd January 2018, 04:10 AM
Just to avoid any confusion, Diplo and Mark Ronson's new joint project is called Silk City and it's not the name of their upcoming album.
Either way, they are working with Dua Lipa. I'm not sure if it's for Silk City's album or for her second album.
Posted by: Dexton 22nd January 2018, 05:06 AM
I love Diplo’s joint projects 
I wonder if Silk City will compare to Major Lazer or Jack Ü
Posted by: Brokarucci 24th January 2018, 06:19 PM
Diplo is amazing. Still rocking to his hip-hop album.

The first song 'Only Can Get Better' is out tomorrow.
I'm liking the preview.
Posted by: BridgeCow 22nd May 2018, 09:37 PM
ok very intrigued for this tbh
Posted by: danG 22nd May 2018, 10:07 PM
oh wow that sounds really good from the preview!!
Posted by: Dexton 23rd May 2018, 02:18 AM
This sounds promising, Diplo has just had banger after banger this year wow
The Dua Lipa collab is for this Silk City album too
Posted by: Stu1985 23rd May 2018, 05:30 AM
Hyped!
This be the summer of Diplo!
Posted by: SLlewellyn 23rd May 2018, 01:46 PM
Major Lazer (possibly), LSD and Silk City this summer = Diplo takeover!

Confirmation the Dua Lipa collab is out this Summer.
The song tonight will premiere on Annie Mac's show at 19:30.

Ooh *.* Daniel Merriweather is a name we haven't heard for some time!
Posted by: BridgeCow 23rd May 2018, 07:50 PM
omfg yes this is a tune *.*
Posted by: danG 23rd May 2018, 10:56 PM
sounds like it could be anyone singing that! liking it quite a bit on first listen anyhow, intrigued for their Dua Lipa collab as that's clearly what they're going to push as a single.
Posted by: Midge 23rd May 2018, 11:46 PM
I quite like this - even if it is a little repetitive! Nicely produced. Also nice to see Daniel with a credit even if his vocal is distorted somewhat.
Posted by: gavindeejay 24th May 2018, 06:26 AM
This is really funky! Liking this alot! 
Posted by: Dexton 24th May 2018, 08:45 AM
"Only Can Get Better" is a weird sentence 
This is nice enough but so far I prefer LSD of Diplo's latest projects
Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌴 24th May 2018, 09:38 PM
I really like "Only Can Get Better".
I can't wait for their other stuff, including the Dua Lipa collaboration of course.
Posted by: Dexton 25th May 2018, 01:43 AM
The Spotify credit for this is a bit of a mess
Silk City, Diplo, Mark Ronson, Daniel Merriweather - Only Can Get Better with Daniel Merriweather
Posted by: Ronald McJackson 25th May 2018, 03:11 AM
Really not feeling that track, it is pretty bad. Stick to Major Lazer, LSD and 'Diplo' releases Diplo!
Posted by: Stu1985 25th May 2018, 05:32 AM
Quite like this!
Diplo has also produced the official World Cup 2018 song ‘Live It Up’ by Nicky Jam ft. Will Smith & Era Istrefi, quite a bop.

They recently uploaded an Essential Mix including the current single and their own edits of tracks from the likes of Cardi B, Drake (mixed with Route 94's My Love) and Migos (mixed with Axwell's I Found Love) plus classic tracks from Hardrive, Tori Amos and Modjo.
Posted by: Dexton 2nd June 2018, 03:45 PM
Now that is something I can get behind We need an official release for Love’s Plan - Route 94 & Drake (Silk City Special)

A preview of the Dua track was played at one of their shows:
I can't wait!

It seems the Dua collab will be coming very soon!

The Dua Lipa collaboration is called "Electricity" according to Mark Ronson's The Times UK interview. The track was co-written by Florence Welch and Romy Madley Croft of The xx. It's expected to be released within the next two weeks to coincide with their Bestival gig.
Posted by: Klaus 17th July 2018, 05:27 PM
Mark Ronson x Florence x Romy x Dua x Diplo?????
:rip: :rip:
Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 19th July 2018, 02:04 PM
"Feel About You", which features Mapei, will be released tomorrow.
Posted by: Dexton 19th July 2018, 03:23 PM
Oh my god Feel About You is a f***ing banger. So so so so so much better than Only Can Get Better PLUS the Spotify tag isn't entirely messed up :')
Gives me Clean Bandit x MK vibes
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 19th July 2018, 03:29 PM
I'm very surprised they're releasing another song before the Dua collab.
Posted by: BridgeCow 19th July 2018, 11:39 PM
Feel About You is a massive tune omg 
Posted by: lewistgreen 20th July 2018, 06:14 AM
Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 22nd July 2018, 03:54 AM
"Feel About You" is really good, as well as "Only Can Get Better". However, I'm intrigued that the artwork says '003' when this is their second release. As a consequence, I assume they were planning to release another song (maybe "Electricity"?) instead of this one.
Posted by: Tedward 30th July 2018, 11:42 PM
I need the Dua track and I need it NOW
Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 1st August 2018, 09:44 PM
Their Desiigner and GoldLink collaboration, presumably called "Loud In The Speakers", will be premiered as the World Record on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show tomorrow.

Dua Lipa is teasing Electricity, hopefully we get it soon!
Posted by: gavindeejay 2nd August 2018, 10:04 AM
The Dua collab will most likely come out in September

I'm a bit disappointed in Loud tbh, easily my least favourite of the three they've released.
Posted by: BridgeCow 2nd August 2018, 04:34 PM
oooh not really sure about this one :/
Posted by: ElectroBoy 2nd August 2018, 06:54 PM
Late to the party but Feel About You is a B.O.P
Posted by: Stu1985 2nd August 2018, 11:38 PM
I’m liking Loud! This summer is bringing out some hot tunes!
Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 8th August 2018, 09:23 PM
Dua confirmed to https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/watch-dua-lipa-detail-mark-ronson-diplo-collaboration-new-album-plans-706539/ that the music video of "Electricity" was shot last week, so this could be released sooner than later.
Regarding the song, she said the following:
Posted by: lewistgreen 17th August 2018, 08:52 PM
Another banging mix
Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 23rd August 2018, 09:50 PM
I can't find any confirmation yet, but there's a rumour that "Electricity" will be released in two weeks (September 7).
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 23rd August 2018, 10:45 PM
I hope so, really looking forward to that!
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 24th August 2018, 11:18 AM
Stumbled upon ‘Feel About You’ by chance, f*** me it’s brilliant! 
I wasn’t expecting that sort of sound from this project.
I’m hoping the Dua Lipa collab is in a similar vein to that.

"Electricity" is available now.
Posted by: lewistgreen 6th September 2018, 05:37 AM
Nice enough. Feel like it's going to take a few listens though.
Posted by: BridgeCow 6th September 2018, 05:52 AM
Oh I’m into this not completely in love but I could see it growing well
Posted by: Bjork 6th September 2018, 06:24 AM
not very instant
what is sure is that they're gonna do well on Youtube views with Dua and her red pants 
Posted by: gavindeejay 6th September 2018, 06:29 AM
I really like this. It's everything about dance music I love! Funky, upbeat and catchy! Will hopefully be the next Number 1 in a couple of weeks!
Posted by: Cremey 6th September 2018, 06:34 AM
Exactly what I thought it’d be but also exactly what I wanted, I’m loving this
Posted by: Jei-boy 6th September 2018, 07:48 AM
Sounds like a Jess Glynne reject /leftover
Posted by: Joe. 6th September 2018, 08:45 AM
It's better than anything Jess Glynne has ever put out.
Posted by: Dexton 6th September 2018, 08:50 AM
It’s about what I expected tbh, it’s good but only as good as Feel About You on first listen. It will probably grow on me over time
Posted by: RobBob 6th September 2018, 01:57 PM
Oh, this is instantly SO feel good and her vocals are such a selling point that while I get the Glynne touches that have been mentioned, it’s elevated in this instance.
Posted by: Jei-boy 6th September 2018, 02:02 PM
. Demo was sung by Jess glynne.. Your point?
Posted by: Tedward 6th September 2018, 03:07 PM
The bop I knew it was going to be
Posted by: mdh 6th September 2018, 03:24 PM
...his point is that it's better than anything Jess Glynne's ever put out.
Posted by: Joe. 6th September 2018, 04:43 PM
Yes. There’s a warmth and power to this that Jess Glynne has never managed.
Posted by: Doctor Blind 6th September 2018, 05:19 PM
That's quite a low bar.
Posted by: Rooney 6th September 2018, 06:43 PM
The Jess Glyne comparisons are pretty lazy to be honest. It sounds quite old school and took a few listens for me to get in to, but I'm properly in to this right now it sounds great. Certainly much more of a Mark Ronson influence on the track as his productions tend to feel slightly more retro, but there are times in the track you can really hear the Diplo influence as well. It's a real bop, I think it might take a little while to take off as it's nowhere near as commercial or pop as One Kiss, but again Calvin Harris has a completely different style to both Diplo/Mark Ronson so you would expect that.
Posted by: Jei-boy 6th September 2018, 07:41 PM
Everybody talking about Jess Glynne about this. And they said she has no IMPACT!
Posted by: Liаm 6th September 2018, 07:43 PM
You're the one who brought it up though not anyone else? She didn't invent breezy dance-pop.
This is absolutely fab, it's nothing revolutionary but what makes Dua a star is she can take these pretty generic songs and she has the warmth and star power to really elevate them into something special that resonates with the public.
Posted by: RobBob 6th September 2018, 09:30 PM
The kind of glorious dance it reminds me of is in the ilk of Lola’s Theme for whatever reason so I definitely agree with the retro vibes some are getting.
Posted by: Stu1985 6th September 2018, 11:49 PM
Love this, instant hit!
I don’t get all the Jess hate, she’s a singer who has had great success. If she was male she wouldn’t get as much hate. SMH
Posted by: danG 8th September 2018, 07:15 AM
Thread cleaned. Can we please drop the Jess Glynne discussion and keep it on topic?
Posted by: Klaus 8th September 2018, 11:06 AM
I liked this on first listen, then wasn't as keen on second, now I love it on third listen! It's not a main highlight of any of the three's discography but it's still strong enough!
Posted by: lewistgreen 8th September 2018, 05:26 PM
Co-written by Romy from The xx!
Posted by: TheSnake 10th September 2018, 04:08 PM
It's good enough, but there isn't really anything special about this tbh production wise, just sounds like a Sigala track without the tropical element.
