Listen to Disclosure's collaboration 'Together' with Nile Rodgers, Sam Smith and Jimmy Napes
Back in September Disclosure confirmed that they were working with legendary Chic front man Nile Rodgers on a forthcoming track. Not content to sit on their laurels after the rampant success of their debut album Settle, the Lawrence brothers brought Sam Smith and Jimmy Napes into the studio along with Nile to create the appropriately titled "Together" and the result is nothing short of spectacular. Smith's penchant for melancholic and lust-filled vocals have already proven to be the perfect compliment to Disclosure's bubbly garage aesthetics and the addition of Rodger's slick guitar licks only further amplify the sultry and seductive elements of the talented duo's slow-brewed groover.

Disclosure nod to J Dilla and beyond for debut Essential Mix duties
For fans both new and old, the agenda for Disclosure's debut Essential Mix was hard to predict. Guy and Howard Lawrence would not recite the music that shot them to star status, but they also probably were not going to regurgitate their recently gold Settle to their fanbase on Radio 1. Disclosure are not an act that can easily be painted with the brush of popular discipline, but with so much attention brewing, there was a considerable middle ground to strike on such hallowed airspace as Radio 1's Essential Mix.
Disclosure set to premiere their debut Essential Mix tonight on Radio 1
The Lawrence brothers have just finished up another successful North American tour, and without skipping a beat, they're on deck for their debut Essential Mix this evening on BBC Radio 1.

Tune in tonight at 8pm EST to listen to what they choose to send over the global airwaves for their first ever Essential Mix.
