BEHIND THE MUSIC
MARK RONSON
Super-producer, DJ, pop star and all-round tastemaker, Mark Ronson has sprinkled fairy dust over some of the biggest hits of the 21st century. He created one of the all-timegreat party songs with Uptown Funk, and helped catapult Amy Winehouse and Adele to superstardom; but he’s just as adept at coaxing great new material out of veterans such as Duran Duran and Paul McCartney. Now Ronson has teamed up with equally prolific whippersnapper Thomas Wes ‘Diplo’ Pentz for his latest project, Silk City. It’s a celebration of dance music both old and new, paying homage to the cities that inspired so many DJ classics over the decades.
