The Disclosure boys have kindly explained the unplugged situation below. It seems like it wasn’t their decision and they weren’t exactly happy they weren’t allowed to properly play live.

Hello to everyone who is talking about this photo… so. here is how and why this happened. Capital FM made us do this show with a backing track playing but allowed the vocalists to sing. They said that they had to trigger the tracks themselves to sync visuals. We pleaded with them for weeks and weeks to let us play fully live or at least let us mix but they just weren’t having it. You will also notice this was the same for a lot of the dance acts playing that day (i.e. the duke dumont pic you posted)
It was incredibly frustrating and horrible for us to hear our music at Wembley and not actually be able to play it ourselves, as anyone with any knowledge about disclosure knows that we play fully live seen here… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THeSe3XqObQ AND can mix…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTAhk7FXb-I
Notice also that we didnt try and make it look like we were mixing. We left the fucking plug on the floor on purpose, didnt even plug phono leads into the master out, turned all the EQs fully down and the master out AND DIDNT EVEN TAKE HEADPHONES for god sake!! LOL if at any point we touched the mixer it was…well, you try standing infront of 80,000 people and not touching the mixer… go on… its really hard hahaha!

I would also like to point out that people like David Guetta ect who have also been accused of pretending to mix, actually try and cover it up and pretend to blend tracks into one another and hide it… but with us, we played three songs with vocalists b2b with gaps in between, so even if we had been mixing, there would have been no beat matching involved anyway + we didnt try and hide it at all!!
But yeah it was a very strange experience and one we will not be going through again. Capital have been amazing to us and they play our songs roughly 400 times a week across their various networks and we wanted to thank them for all the support.

How long was the set? I'd feel really awkward standing there for 40-60 mins pretending to DJ.

Ohh boohoo your tracks got played at Wembley infront of 80.000 people. And you weren't allowed to mix?

Haha hating is so easy

Seriously though they are still dickwads.. They won't go through it again? How can you be sure
of that when you claim some company made you do it?
To top it off they try to make it about David Guetta.

well it's better than tiesto fluffing his opening mix at the olympics.

TopManLurka · Post by **TopManLurka** » Mon Jun 10, 2013 8:40 pm

the people mad @ this must have genuinely thought fatboy slim was mixing at the olympics.

+ i don't get how they're 'dickwads'.

AxeD · Post by **AxeD** » Mon Jun 10, 2013 8:41 pm

Exactly, it's been happening for years. Nothing special in this case.

Do I really need to express a reason to call them dickwads? Have you heard the music?

TopManLurka · Post by **TopManLurka** » Mon Jun 10, 2013 8:43 pm

nah i don't listen to them, hence y i can't express any form of hate.

so to wrap things up, they're 'dickwads' because you listen to them?

AxeD · Post by **AxeD** » Mon Jun 10, 2013 9:10 pm

I wouldn't draw that conclusion, but you are free to of course.

I can form an opinion, as I did listen to them. But this wasn't really about their music, it's about how they stood
on a podium when their tracks were played. Not my words of course.
