Since the ’90s, German electronic label Studio !K7 has regularly released its DJ-Kicks mix albums, which arrive a few times a year compiled by various artists. Disclosure are dropping their own entry in the series on October 15, and on it, they’ll be including two brand new songs: “Observer Effect” (which the duo shared today) and “Deep Sea.”
Like their recent material, “Observer Effect” is an energetic tune carried by a propulsive beat, accompanied by a relatively minimal synth arrangement. Guy Lawrence says of the mix, “Our last album Energy, which is just a year old, it’s all club bangers. So that’s what the majority of the mix is going to be: still exploring all these different textures. I like to think the mix resembles a lot of Energy, in terms of texture and how it flows. It’s sitting alongside Energy as a companion.”
