Hear Disclosure Sample Al Green on Soulful ‘Moog for Love’ EP
Disclosure have released a new three-track EP, Moog For Love, available via all major digital outlets, including iTunes and Spotify. The British electronic duo – brothers Guy and Lawrence Howard – premiered the opening track, “BOSS,” onstage Saturday at their personally curated Wild Life Festival in Brighton, England.
“BOSS” features gritty, looped drums and a pitch-shifted, warbled-EQ vocal hook from Howard. “Feel Like I Do,” credited to Disclosure and to Al Green plays like an electronic remix of the soul icon’s “I’m Still in Love With You,” embellishing the original track’s strings, horns, electric guitar and backing vocals with programmed drums and hazy effects.
“Feel Like I Do” originated from Guy discovering “I’m Still in Love With You” in a stack of recently purchased vinyl. After seeking permission to use the sample, Green heard the track himself and provided the song’s original recording stems. “Moog for Love,” a collaboration with British producer-DJ Eats Everything, samples the smooth croon from George Benson’s “Moody’s Mood” over pulsating kick drums and warbled keys.
The duo will stage an American Wild Life event June 18th at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York – including performances by Disclosure, Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals, Mobb Deep, Dusky and Justin Jay.
The group will wind down their North American tour this week with a performance a the Firefly Music Festival. They have additional international festival dates scheduled throughout the summer, including Glastonbury and Reading & Leeds. The duo released their second LP, Caracal, in 2015.
