7. FACT 327, 2012

“FACT has so many amazing mixes, it’s kind of overwhelming. This one in particular is really great all the way through but around the 42:30 minute mark the bass comes in and it gets mind blowing.”

6. Ecstasy, 2020

“After their outstanding EP in 2018, Disclosure are back with yet another great piece of modern house music – this time taking samples from African musicians and creating a more percussion-driven effort, it contains a very earthy atmosphere while also remaining delightfully mechanic on its EDM roots – not really a weak song in here and a great usage of samples. wish they can keep this energy for a future LP – they are decent on doing chorus-driven vocal EDM, but they are even better at this kind of sound.”

5. Energy, 2020

“Energy is at its best when Disclosure pulls off a quirky, high adrenaline sound. ‘My High’ is the stand out track here – it’s great to hear Slowthai on such sparky form. ‘Douha (Mali Mali)’ integrates Fatoumata Diawara’s Indian pop singing perfectly, cutting up the performance zoning in on its hooks. The title track is a good humoured bop that shows Disclosure don’t take themselves too seriously. They could have benefited from cutting some of the interludes (though not the beautiful ‘Thinking ‘bout You’) and the slightly duller track ‘Ce n’est pas’ – this would have made for something slightly tighter.”

4. Control EP, 2013

“It has a consistent momentum to it and features many stand out songs that allow you to forget the few underwhelming tracks on the album. I do wish they experimented a bit more and offered some more instrumental based songs.”

3. Moonlight, 2018

“Pretty damn good composition and structure, the tracks are pretty cool but not terribly innovative in the sense that initially, it’s an interesting sound but the repetition wears the sound thin quickly. Not to say that they are bad, but neither are they moving or anything of the sort. I don’t love all the vocal elements, but that’s just my personal tendency really, it’s my general preference with regard to music. It is a different direction, I admit, and a bit funky but nothing extraordinary in my opinion. Good music to put on radios, or as background music, or as BGM in videogames (really gives me a Gran Turismo menu music vibe!)”

2. Caracal, 2015

“If there’s one thing that has defined British music since the dawn of the millennium, it’s gifted young bands’ inability to recapture the magic of their first record on subsequent releases. Disclosure might not even count as a band – they’re perhaps closer to a production duo – but their debut album, ‘Settle’, immediately presented the Lawrence brothers as unlikely rock stars.”

1. Settle, 2013

“I feel like this album was dated about five minutes after it came out and that’s kind of why I love it so much. Because it’s not just that it sounds of its time, it sounds like it came from the early ’90s, it’s got that classic house sound, with the brilliantly cheesy vocals on most of the tracks either in the form of vocal samples or actual songs. It’s just great, it’s a sound that doesn’t sound eternally fresh but does age well, perhaps not gracefully, but well.”
