Disclosure – DJ-Kicks (2-LP Vinyl)
Disclosure Vinyl Records
Product Details
Disclosure's DJ-Kicks entry lands at an interesting moment, with Howard and Guy Lawrence having spent years bridging the gap between underground club culture and mainstream pop production, collaborating with everyone from Sam Smith to Lorde while never losing their grip on the dancefloor. That dual citizenship, credible in both worlds, makes their curation here particularly telling: what they choose to play when the brief is simply "be yourself" says more about their roots than any interview could.
Vinyl LP pressing. Includes digital download.
For a duo whose youthful energy rejuvenated the world of house music at the start of the 2010s, it seems incredible that Disclosure are now into their second decade of musical life. The incredible vigour of those early records, the spark of invention and ever-onward musical thrust, remains with the Disclosure brothers, Howard and Guy Lawrence, to this day.
The emphasis throughout DJ-Kicks is on motion. After a brief ambient introduction from Pépe's Life Signs, Disclosure keep the energy high, in a mix that showcases the wonderful malleability of a house beat in the right hands. From sub bass to disco samples, African funk to 303 tweak, all is welcome in Disclosure's house, with the mix allowing individual songs space to breath even as the pace remains harefooted.
