One of the nicest discoveries I made with Beats 1 – Apple‘s radio – was the show hosted by Disclosure. I found these two brothers, Howard and Guy Lawrence, as elegant creating Electronic Dance Music tunes as hosting a radio show. They said it was their first time doing radio.

Howard and Guy showed the same great taste in front of the microphone than behind the decks or the computer when creating their music.
A couple of weeks ago, Disclosure aired the last show. After their goodbye, there was no Disclosure‘s show on Beats 1 last weekend.
However yesterday this happened:
