Disclosure – Apollo (Original Mix)

To say 2013 has been good to UK electronic duo Disclosure would be a massive understatement. From an extensive tour docket that included a busy, busy festival season to the release of their excellent Mercury-nominated debut album, the year has been nothing short of spectacular and despite a controversial video hiccup, the brothers have continued to push forward providing us with some exciting news this week with the release of a brand new song.

Easily one of the hottest names in dance music in 2013, Disclosure have been masterfully helping revive a fading UK garage scene. The brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence have been riding on the success of their debut album, ‘Settle‘, and now have channeled their inner side into their new tune, “Apollo”. Apparent right from the word go, the signature garage shuffling high-hats on a hard 4/4 kick introduce some hauntingly sweet female vocal samples.

As soon as you think your goosebumps are subsiding, the dynamic bass-line creeps in with a powerful sliding rhythm. The ominous vibe of the song’s breaks compliment the transitions back to the downbeat perfectly, as deeper house compositions should.
