Watch Diplo, Mark Ronson and Dua Lipa’s new video for ‘Electricity’

Mark Ronson and Diplo have revealed the fourth single from their new Silk City partnership, hooking up with Dua Lipa for the heavily-anticipated ‘Electricity’.

Releasing the video earlier today (and teased over the course of the week), ‘Electricity’ follows a string of Chicago-House-focused jams for the super-producers, which have so far included collaborations with Goldlink and Desiigner (‘Loud‘), Daniel Merriweather (‘Only Can Get Better‘) and Mapei (‘Feel About You‘).

Hear Gorgon City jump on the remix of Weiss’ ‘Feel My Needs’

Hear Dizzee Rascal and Skepta collaborate for ‘Money Right’

Earlier in the year, Dizzee Rascal and Skepta shared a photo of themselves together in the studio, leading to speculation new music was on the horizon. Several weeks later, the fruits of their labours leaked online (and obviously quickly taken down), but today marks the first time fans and the public can hear their new collaboration in all its glory.

Titled ‘Money Right’, and produced by Skep himself, the song marks the first of five new cuts from Dizzee’s upcoming EP ‘Don’t Gas Me’ which will also feature P Money among others.
