The duo combines pop and electronica for the track
Multi-platinum duo Disclosure unleashes its monumental new collaboration “No Cap” featuring multi-hyphenate superstar Anderson Paak, out now via Disorder/Capitol Records. The swelteringly funky cut has massive summer-night energy and arrives ahead of Disclosure’s Fall 2025 North American Tour, launching September 19th, which will find brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence returning to their epic, acclaimed live show format.
“No Cap” returns to Disclosure’s world-conquering pop sensibilities without giving an inch on the dance floor. The song plunges listeners into the center of the club from the start as Paak lords over a wild score of rubbery synths, relentless bass, and skittering drums. When the melodic line hits, he’s off to the races, switching from a cool, calm chant to soul-drenched, rapid-fire raps: “So, so, tell me no lies / Open up your mind, hands to the sky / Oh, oh, why you so fine? / If you don’t mind, baby, turn up the vibes.”
“Creating something with Andy has been a long time coming! We first met at our show at Forrest Hills in NYC back in 2015 and have been fans of his for even longer. The time finally felt right and the right song appeared. He’s one of the most talented musicians we have ever worked with and we can’t wait for you all to hear this one and perform it live together soon,” Disclosure shares.
“This collab is well overdue and I can’t wait to feed the people! We’ve been teasing the track for a little bit and it never misses! ‘No Cap’ is the ideal dance floor banger you don’t have to think about!” Paak adds.
Co-written by the Lawrence brothers and Paak with frequent Disclosure collaborator Jimmy Napes, the high-energy track is already a proven people-mover. Both artists (Paak as his vinyl-spinning alter-ego DJ Pee Wee) have been playing “No Cap” to rapturous crowds during recent DJ sets, not to mention sharing smoldering teasers and hilarious clips highlighting their chemistry together. Like Disclosure, Paak is a game collaborator who works across diverse sonic spaces, as seen not only on his projects like NxWorries (with producer Knxwledge) and Silk Sonic (with Bruno Mars), but also recent team-ups with R&B riser Jane Handcock, electronica star TokiMonsta, and K-pop rap hero G-Dragon.
The song continues Disclosure’s legacy of boundary-pushing collaboration with such eclectic acts as The Weeknd, Lorde, AlunaGeorge, Aminé, slowthai, Khalid, and Sam Smith (who featured on their 3x platinum-certified breakthrough “Latch”). Most recently, the duo released the thrilling “King Steps” with British-Gambian rapper Pa Salieu. They’d previously been on a run exploring their experimental side with similarly darker, hard-hitting bangers like “Arachnids” — described by Guy as an “ever-evolving creative puzzle of sound design and groove exploration” — and “in2minds” with friend/collaborator Chris Lake.
