Disclosure
UK electronic duo Guy & Howard Lawrence
Disclosure's Gear
Seen during 56:00. Guy uses Big Kick to synthesize bassdrums.
Guy: "For this album, the one we used a lot was Diva by u-he; I love it. We love any soft synth that sounds like a Roland Juno basically. With Diva, you can put a twist on it and do something different that a Juno can't, but it has that warmth and that nice choral sound, so we were sold."
On this article and on the Arturia website, Disclosure claimed to use the V Collection 8 and more precisely CS-80, Prophet and Mini V.
Disclosure utilizes Apple Logic Pro as their primary DAW on a MacBook Pro for music production. This usage was mentioned in a tweet from their official Twitter account.

"For live we use Ableton on one laptop to run stuff we can’t play, but we try to play as much as we can. We play loads of synthesizers. One runs on main stage for sounds we can’t re-create. Howard has a Moog Little Phatty, I’ve got drum pads."
"We run everything through Ableton and control it with the APC stuff Akai makes which is great. We also use bass guitar, a couple of drum machines, MPC for vocal samples, a synth and percussion at moment."
