Diplo and Ronson named their collaboration after the diner/bar/dance club in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where they first deejayed together roughly two decades ago. “Silk City is an homage to some of the greatest dance music cities Chicago, London, Paris, Detroit,” Diplo said in a statement announcing the project. “It is great to get back together and make music.”
