In August 2017, Diplo mentioned that he and Mark Ronson were working on a collaborative disco album, hinting at the project that would eventually become Silk City. While further details about the project remain undisclosed, the duo's representatives have been approached for additional information by media outlets.
The name "Silk City" appears to be a tribute to the Philadelphia venue and diner where Diplo began his DJ career. The duo had their first live performance at Governors Ball music festival. This festival also featured Jack White, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Eminem, N.E.R.D, and Travis Scott.
Both Diplo and Mark Ronson have had successful careers in their respective music ventures. Diplo, in addition to his work as a solo artist, is known for his involvement in the electronic dance music trio Major Lazer. Ronson has established himself as a DJ, songwriter, and record producer, and has collaborated with numerous acclaimed musicians throughout his career, including Kevin Parker from Tame Impala.
Silk City was officially announced on January 2, 2018, by Diplo and Mark Ronson, two highly acclaimed figures in the music industry. Their debut single, "Only Can Get Better," featuring Daniel Merriweather, was released on May 25, 2018, marking the beginning of their musical journey as a duo. Shortly after, on July 20, 2018, they released their second single, "Feel About You," featuring Mapei. This was followed by their third single, "Loud," which saw Diplo reunite with previous collaborators GoldLink and Desiigner.
The duo's fourth single, "Electricity," was released on September 6, 2018, featuring the prominent British singer and songwriter Dua Lipa. The accompanying music video was also unveiled on the same day, further enhancing the reach of their music.
On January 22, 2021, Silk City released their single "New Love," featuring British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding, further expanding their catalog of collaborations with acclaimed artists.

Did you forget my name?
I wrote your symphonies
They all just sound the same
Don't know what I believe in
'Cause I just kept moving on
Said I should take a seat
I know where I came from
I got new love, love in me
I got new love, love in me
I got new love, love in me
I got new love, I got new love in me
I got new love, I got new love in me
I got new love, I got new love in me
I got new love, I got new love in me
I got new love, I got new love in me
Didn't always like myself
Didn't always get it right
Thought I was someone else
And that's the girl you liked
Don't know what I believe in
'Cause I just kept moving on
Said I should take a seat
I know where I came from
I got new love, I got new love in me
I got new love, I got new love in me
I got new love, I got new love in me
I got new love
If you could see me now
I got a feeling you'd be dancing next to me
I'm on my own, but I could never be lonely
I got new love in me now
Got electricity in every bone like whoa
Now I'm overthinking that I'm not who I should be
I got new love in me
I got new love, love in me
I got new love, love in me
I got new love, love in me
I got new love
If you could see me now
I got new love, I got new love in me
I got new love, I got new love in me
I got new love, I got new love in me
I got new love, I got new love in me now
Got electricity in every bone like whoa (I got new love, new love in me)
Now I'm overthinking that I'm not who I should be (I got new love, new love in me)
I got new love in me (I got new love)
If you could see me now
I got new love, I got new love in me
I got new love

These points I will like to highlight here -
1)Ellie is a super versatile singer ,her vocal ranging from EDM,POP TO FOLK. (Listen to BURN,Figure 8 and then FLUX,MY BLOOD)
2)She is among the very few singers who never uses any autotune and and lip sync. If you don't believe you may verify.
3) Her fame skyrocketed and peaked in Delirium tour 2015,but after this world tour she faced many issues which caused her to take five year long pause to rethink about herself and the world she knew.
4)She is a multi platinum record holder.
5)Ellie ranked 11th in no.of countries she toured alongwith Britney Spears and Demi Lovato,leaving behind Jennifer Lopez,Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus,Dua Lipa.
6)Many of the audience, had listened to LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO and Burn but never knew that the singer is Ellie Goulding.
7)She is known as EDM QUEEN to many of her fans.
8)Many of her fans, think that she is super underrated. In my opinion the cause behind this , is her five year long gap and living in solitude which caused the mass audience to divert into other singers.
9)Her immortal works are - LMLYD,BURN,STILL FALLING FOR YOU,FLUX,LIGHTS, BEATING HEART, FIGURE 8 ,MY BLOOD (Halcyon),LOVE I'M GIVEN.
10)Ellie did live shows with Katy Perry,Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars .
