Romantic Sad Sentimental. Sexy Trippy All Moods. Drinking Hanging Out In Love. Introspection Late Night Partying. Disclosure are brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence. The siblings grew up in Surrey and began making music from a very young age. Picture: Phil Sharp. Guy and Howard grew up in the historic market town of Reigate, Surrey. After initially emerging as an underground duo, Disclosure's 'Settle' went straight to the top of the UK album chart, featuring the singles 'White Noise' and 'Latch'.

Firstly, they started to retread the path of early UK garage at the same time as its orginators experienced a renaissance on British dancefloors. But more recently they've been invited to play at student nights and superclubs. In part, this is the same as any music revival, in which brothers and sisters pass on songs to the younger generation. But Disclosure believe that garage's new popularity is also down to female ravers.

Bored of dubstep nights where lads hover over the DJ booth, the girls want dance music that actually makes people dance. The sight of a garage DJ in their late 30s playing to a room of people half their age has become common and Disclosure often find themselves on the same bill as those that influenced them. He was like, 'Praise the lord for you guys, you give me so much hope. Really nerdy stuff. There was one moment of silence which was when someone checked the time and we were like, "Shit, it's nine in the morning.

The second big change has come from the US, where dance music is, for the first time, becoming a billion-dollar entertainment industry to rival rock and hip-hop.

Part of the success of US electronic music or EDM, as they insist on calling it has been the rejection of parts of dance culture that the British see as integral, such as drugs and a disengagement with mainstream trends. While dance has long been a commercial entity in Britain, acts such as the Prodigy, Faithless and, more recently, Skream and Hudson Mohawke still build their identity around dance music as an agent of hedonism and subversion.

In America, where dance festivals are sponsored by brands such as Doritos and DJs play residencies in "no-shoes, no-shirt, no-entry" Vegas nightclubs, the association between dance music and the counterculture simply doesn't exist at all.

If you had to place Disclosure in one of these categories, you'd lean towards the American model. They're not overly commercial by any stretch, but by their own admission they have no interest in the social aspects of dance culture. They didn't cut their teeth in underground clubs, and now that they're successful, Howard claims he has no interest in raving. All of it," he says.

Loads of slobbering, drunk people isn't that fun when you're not drunk. It's not like I'm a flimsy waif who gets bumped around. I love the music in the clubs we play, I just don't necessarily love the people. So while they'll talk at length about how they borrow different sounds from genres — their synths come from deep house, the snap of the snare they've nicked from early 90s hip-hop — they recoil from questions that go beyond the music.

Pop-structured songs in the style of house music and garage," says Howard. In short they're saying: when things are going well, you don't need to overthink it. Their debut album, Settle, is a case in point. The songs are sophisticated, every intro and outro, build and breakdown well-judged.
