Disclosure: Technology has pushed music forward

Disclosure are in agreement; the relationship between music and technology is "vitally important".

The electronic duo from Surrey say it's "absolutely" pushed music forward, especially dance music.

"You want dance music to sound crystal clear, loud and in your face," Guy Lawrence tells Newsbeat.

"Music made for clubs 20 years ago was being made on very analogue and basic machines which have now all come back around, or at least the sounds have.

"We use all of these old roll and drum machines and synths and it's quite funny how the old stuff has come back around.

"Our live show is so modern and up to date and we use some incredible behind the scenes gear.

"I've no idea how it works but it just makes our stuff sound wicked.

"It's right for this kind of music."

Disclosure are good friends with Sam Smith and have done "additional production" on Sam's Bond theme, Writing's on the Wall.

But brothers Guy and Howard don't think advanced technical equipment is as important for his type of music.

Disclosure presented Sam Smith with an award at the GQ Men of the Year Awards earlier this month

"For an album like Sam's where it's all guitars and pianos, you could still record that album on tape and it would sound brilliant," Guy says.

"With Disclosure, from our production all the way to the live show, technology is so important."

But Howard says these days, the relationship between music and technology goes much further than just production which is important for all artists.

It's been a huge instrument in connecting them to their fans and promoting their music.

"Social media has played a vital role in our rise to success," he says.

"We wouldn't be where we are without Facebook, MySpace and Twitter."

Guy is sure technology has created new music genres.

"Dubstep wouldn't exist if it wasn't for PlayStation and FruityLoops," he tells Newsbeat.

"That's how it all started.

"Some guys in Croydon messing around in their bedrooms making beats on his PlayStation and FruityLoops."

They are not talking about the cereal but music software that was popular in the 00s and is credited with being integral to the development of grime and dubstep.
