Approved: Disclosure
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 11 August 2010
Teenage brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence began making music together as Disclosure early last year. Born into a musical family (their father apparently once had a major label record deal), they are heavily influenced by the vibrant dance scene that surrounds them where they live in Croydon, their music combining garage beats with dubstep basslines, though it’s also informed by broader influences picked up throughout their childhood, from jazz to 90s hip hop.
The brothers’ debut single, ‘Offline Dexterity’, is due for release through Moshi Moshi (who know a good thing when they hear it) on 6 Sep. A track that creeps up on you, ‘Offline Dexterity’ builds to a peak of screaming noise while remaining eminently danceable. B-side ‘Streetlight Chronicle’ meanwhile keeps things on a more balanced level but nonetheless shows Disclosure’s potential for a big future in dance music.
