Off the back of storming the UK charts once again with latest single ‘White Noise feat AlunaGeorge’, Disclosure are extremely excited to announce their debut album, ‘Settle’, out June 3rd on PMR Records. It will be preceded by new single ‘You & Me’, which is available to buy from iTunes and physically from June 3rd. The first taste of new material from the album, ‘You & Me’ features Eliza Doolittle and, as you’d expect, yet again proves Disclosure’s ability in bringing the best out of their vocal collaborators, with Eliza’s lustrous vocal immersed among Disclosure’s trademark 2-step garage rhythms, once again showing beyond doubt their capacity in delivering yet another anthem alongside previous singles ‘Latch’ and ‘White Noise’.Having steadily built a name for themselves as purveyors of a standard of music production way beyond their tender years, they’ve spent a solid couple of years honing their already prolific output into what’s sure to be one of the debuts of 2013 – in

'Love Cards' is the brand new single by Devlin, featuring rising newcomer Etta Bond. It is released on the 20th May through Island Records. This single is taken from Devlin's acclaimed second album ‘ A Moving Picture ’. Produced by Raf Riley, it follows Devlin's previous two top 10 hits off the album - (All Along The) Watchtower feat Ed Sheeran and ‘Rewind’. Love Cards is arguably the most sonically compelling track on the record, finding the 23 year old at his most acerbic and incisive, and looks set to become another huge anthem for this gifted and widely respected young artist. Devlin preceded the release of ‘Love Cards’ with a headline show at London's Koko on the 30th April and this is followed by Summer festival appearances at Reading and Leeds (headlining the 1Xtra Stage), Isle of Wight, Wireless (supporting Jay Z), and Beachbreak.  Devlin Live:   15th June - Isle of Wight Festival  21st June - Beachbreak Festival, Cornwall  13th July – Wirele
