Today, multi-platinum duo Disclosure unveil their electrifying new single, ‘King Steps’, a thrilling collaboration with rising British-Gambian rapper Pa Salieu. The high-energy track marks Disclosure’s return to the spotlight following their recent GRAMMY nomination for their super summer hit, ‘She’s Gone, Dance On’.
The track first captured fans’ attention when Pa Salieu joined Disclosure onstage at Manchester’s Warehouse Project last month, premiering a live version the single. Powered by fast-paced beats, frenetic textures, and dizzying synths that seem to defy gravity, the song melds Disclosure’s signature bass-heavy grooves with the raw energy of UK Garage influences. The result is a hypnotic, adrenaline-fueled anthem destined to make waves across dance floors and playlists worldwide.
‘King Steps’ showcases Disclosure’s signature inventive sound design, adding to their legacy of groundbreaking collaborations with artists like The Weeknd, Lorde, AlunaGeorge, Aminé, slowthai, and Sam Smith. This latest track pairs brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence’s dynamic production with Pa Salieu’s commanding vocal performance, solidifying his place as one of Britain’s most exciting new hip-hop talents.
As Guy Howard explains, “We’re excited to continue showcasing the darker, harder side of our sound with ‘King Steps’. 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. Collaborating with Pa Salieu—who’s delivering some of the best music coming out of the UK right now—makes it the perfect time to release this track.”
Says Pa Salieu, “I’m an Afrikan Alien, and I know that garage music isn’t a genre people might expect me to jump on- 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. That is true collaboration.”
