[Video] Disclosure & Sam Smith Perform "Latch" Live on Fallon
English dance music duo Disclosure made their North American television debut last night, performing their song "Latch" with crooner Sam Smith on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon while in New York City as part of their current tour. The pair proved why they have been vaulted to the forefront of the new music scene in America over the past year, performing with a uniquely interesting stage set-up that I haven't seen on Late Night before, complete with a laser face that mimicked Smith's facial movements as he sang. Disclosure is just the latest in a long line of talented British dance acts and shows why in the video below. Sam Smith absolutely kills on the live vocals, taking the typical electronic set up a notch with the decidedly live addition. Check it all out below.
[Video] Disclosure: "Grab Her"
Dance duo Disclosure followed up a successful 2013 that saw their major release, Settle gain immense critical acclaim across the board. Never one to follow the advice of their album title, Disclosure is currently in the midst of a marathon tour that began last September in France and runs through March 7 when the pair finish up the long string of shows in London. With all that going on, Disclosure managed to drop their latest video for the the song, "Grab Her," directed by Emile Sornin who poked some fun at the literal sense of trying to grab things. The video follows a boss with the ability to make anything he touches instantly zero gravity. Check out the full video below and upcoming tour dates after.

Disclosure: "Latch" (DJ Premier Remix)
It's fun watching acts come up. Disclosure has been on the elevator all year and today got a bit of a cherry on top of their dessert of a 2013 as the legendary DJ Premier dropped a remix to their track, "Latch" today. Premier adds his own unique sound to the single, infusing his eclectic taste of R&B-influenced aesthetics to achieve something that feels maybe a bit more full than the original, like a thick woman in snow pants. Anyway, anything Premier gets his hands on is certain to get the Midas treatment and turn to gold, and building on Disclosure's already distinct sound and structure he does just that here. Check out the remix to "Latch" here below, alongside another recent Disclosure remix to hit the web, this one by Kaytranda for the track "January".
