Disciples On Their New Vid With Gigi Hadid: 'The Casting Was Calvin Harris' Idea!

Earlier this year, London-based dance act Disciples hit the Top 40 with their dark club tune 'They Don't Know' and this Friday they'll be back in our lives with brand new music. Yep, together with dance god Calvin Harris, their highly-anticipated (and in no way Bee Gees related) single 'How Deep Is Your Love' gets it proper premiere and we can't effing wait.

So how did the newcomers end up working with the No.1 DJ on the planet and, more importantly, how did Gigi Hadid end up in their forthcoming video? Read on...

Do you think we have a No.1 on our hands with 'How Deep Is Your Love'?

"We feel it's not a good idea to wish or hope for a No.1. Loving the music we make is the No.1 goal, but we wouldn't say no if it went all the way!"

How did Disciples end up meeting Calvin Harris, and what happened to make you guys get in the studio together? Could you ever say no to the biggest DJ around at the moment?

"Two of us are published by Fly-Eye (Calvin's publishing company). We were working on 'HDIYL' and we sent it to him to hear his thoughts. He loved the track and he proposed working on it and collaborating on it together. We're honoured he would want to put a record out with us. It's always great when two worlds collaborate."

Did Taylor Swift drop by to hear it before getting the 'final mix' seal of approval?

"We're sure she's heard it, but you never know!"

We hear Gigi Hadid's involved in the video for it…how was that?

"The video and casting was Calvin's idea, we think Gigi being involved adds sexiness to the whole situation. Can't really say no to a supermodel can we?" 

Aside from Mr Harris, have you been hitting the studio with anyone else lately?

"The three of us have been locked away for the last few months, developing our sound, which can take a while. We've worked with Anabel Englund and we have a few things in the pipeline we can't discuss just yet, but we’ll keep you posted."

Who is on your collab hitlist – producers and vocalists – and why?

"Individually, Gavin would like to collab with Robyn as she has such a unique take on music. Luke would love to get in the studio with Maceo Plex and Duvall is on the Pharrell Williams vibes."

You're a multi-talented bunch, tell us about who does what in the group?

"Without giving too much away, we all do everything! It's too hard to pin point. We can tell you we all have different strengths, but we all contribute on all sides of what we do in the studio.  On the DJ and live side of things it's quite interesting. Luke and Gavin may go back-to-back. Duvall has beat pads which trigger loops and effects. Sometimes we'll interchange. Really depends on the vibe of the night."

The road to success is always a rocky one, what's been your worst gig? Or the weirdest?

"They're all learning curves, we wouldn't want to plaster one as the "The Worst" ..."

What three songs do you have on repeat at the moment? 

Gavin - "Sous Sol - 'Macerena' (Mirco Carouso Remix)"
Luke - "Coyu - 'Appartition'"
Duvall - "James Bay - 'Let it Go'"

After this, what's next for Disciples? Is an album on the way soon?

"We're definitely working towards the album. But not before we put out some more bits. We wanna showcase more of what we're about before we hit the album stage."

Calvin Harris and Disciples release ‘How Deep Is Your Love’ Friday 17th July via Sony.
