Electronic music veterans Disclosure join forces with rising UK rap star Pa Salieu on their latest single, ‘King Steps,’ a dark and pulsating exploration of UK garage. Released on November 27th via Disorder and Capitol Records, the track marks a fresh direction for the Lawrence brothers, showcasing their ever-evolving sound.
‘King Steps’ dives headfirst into a bass-heavy garage groove, reminiscent of Disclosure’s earlier works. The duo’s signature production shines through with crisp percussion, rumbling low-end, and shimmering synth stabs. Pa Salieu steps in with his signature gravelly flow, weaving tales of resilience and self-assuredness over the infectious beat.
“We’re excited to continue showcasing the darker, harder side of our sound with ‘King Steps,’” Disclosure shared in a statement.
UK Garage has always been a core influence in our music, and it’s incredible to see its impact growing so much over the past year.
Pa Salieu echoes the sentiment, highlighting the collaborative spirit of the track. “I know that garage music isn’t a genre people might expect me to jump on,” he says, “but that’s what being an alien is about, moving from planet to planet, sound to sound. I stepped into Disclosure’s world and together we created an atmosphere that blends where we’re both coming from.“
The pairing of Disclosure’s production prowess and Pa Salieu’s raw lyricism proves to be a potent one. “King Steps” is a powerful and atmospheric track that injects a dose of grime and attitude into the world of electronic music. It’s a testament to both artists’ willingness to experiment and push boundaries, leaving listeners eager for what’s next.
