Disclosure have shared their new track ‘Arachnids’.
Released ahead of their debut Friends & Family takeover at The Warehouse Project tonight in Manchester. The event marks the duo’s sixth appearance at the iconic venue, where they first performed in 2012 at the ages of 18 and 21.
Tonight’s (Friday, 25th October) event sees Disclosure curating three rooms with a lineup including Folamour, Floating Points (DJ set), DJ BORING b2b Sam Alfred, Jyoty, Sally C and others.
Guy Lawrence describes the creation of ‘Arachnids’: “Creating ‘Arachnids’ felt like an ever-evolving creative puzzle of sound design & groove exploration. The project came together over many months of tweaking & adjusting the various sounds & vocals. Each piece was inserted without a box to guide me but all built around a 10-minute drum machine jam.
“For me, this is kind of like a diary entry of where my skills in music are currently at, in terms of mix & production. I wanted to ask myself questions such as: How far can I stretch & evolve this fairly simple drum loop? Can it go through almost multiple genres along the way? Do I need more than one chord? Can the kick be the bassline? So much creative freedom & nerdy moments in the studio for this one, but with the aim of still keeping the foundations & groove simple & concise. It’s not gonna be one you can sing along to but I hope some of you get a lot of enjoyment from it… I know I did.”
