How I wrote ‘Blue World' with Mac Miller - Guy : Disclosure - Breakdown! 

Did not know you were behind blue world!

Damn.. Guy already has Christmas vibes and it's only January.

I don't know anything about music production and i just watched a guy talk about music for 44 minutes..

When I first heard this song I thought it was gonna be an oldies type vibe I was like “ okay okay Mac I see you” than BAM the beat dropped and I got this internal feeling that I felt in a really long time, god this song is beautiful.

A cigarette .... or something 😂

Never knew drums that off grid was legal

7:26 "i made the intro really quiet in the mix so people would turn it up and be like WOAH" brooooo ive been doing this on every beat for years its a great technique! great minds...

Man its crazy that this was almost never released. I can’t even imagine how many other amazing songs Mac has in the vault. 92 Til infinity

I got chills hearing Macs raw vocals

Mac Miller + Disclosure = ❤️

Man. What a great surprise to see Guy made this beat. It only makes sense now that I think about it.

if I ever hear someone say something negative about mac miller I automatically know they are a terrible person. RIP Mac Miller

one of my favourite tracks off the album - as a producer myself it’s stressful seeing all these big dog producers use all these super expensive plugins but your track uses most of the same plugins as I use - so it’s awesome to see a hit song created with what I believe to be limited resources. amazing job man 👍

Would be amazing to see Jon Brion breakdown the making of the full album song by song. Could you imagine how dope that would be!

this beat is insanely good

ahhh man hearing mac’s isolated vocals come in got me all types of sad again. Lost a legend way too soon 💔

how tf did i just found out that guy helped write and produce this gem

That’s pretty incredible that you have all that from him ....low key happy birthday to mac! he and I have the exact same birthday and I mean everything day month year both 29 today

This man used the Exs24 without a sample loaded as an instrument. An absolute madlad

Its insane how much work goes into making tracks, and also how you can make a full song from sampling a 40's jazz acapella band

I knew there was a reason this was my favorite track in circles!

I absolutely love this song, one of my favourites off the album. Looks like the youtube algorithm brought me all the way back to the start, circles.

6:08 sample 8:12 Chord 22:56 Bass 26:35 Drum 35:29 Vocal

When this album came out i was on probation and couldnt smoke. I had two or three weeks left to get off probation after this came out, so naturally I waited. Went to the youtube playlist and hit the SHIT out of my new bong i had put aside. Slowly got higher and higher like it was for the first time again, and i was diggin the record hard. THEN THIS SONG CAME ON, AND I WAS DANCIN. I WAS WALKING AROUND MY LIVING ROOM TRYNA LEARN THE HOOK AS HE SANG IT YAKNOW TRYNA SING ALONG WITH THIS TURNED UP ALL THE WAY I WAS SO HAPPY I WANTED TO CRY. Once he said “here to make it all better with a little music for youu” i started to tear up hard and then he said “devil on my doorstep bein so shady mmm dont trip, WE DONT GOTTA LET HIM IN” ive always related so hard to Macs music throughout his entire career as im sure many of you have too. Fuck the negatives. Give a hard thumbs up and smile back!!!! Miss you Mac, always will. Thank you for everything

My favorite song to bump in the car, windows down, sunroof open and vibes flowin. One of those songs I feel compelled to play to anyone who hasn't heard it. Seeing the reaction when the beat drops is pure entertainment and punches right in the feels.

Word's can't express how grateful I am for you sharing this Disclosure. I remember hearing this as the album played, and feeling pure euphoria wondering who the hell produced it. It's a gift I'm beyond grateful for, to be able to see the project file. ❤️ Thank you.

I will never forget the very first time I listened to Blue World... did exactly what you had mentioned: turned headphones up for the intro and then BAM! Gave me absolute chills man! Much love and thank you for your work!

i love how Guy just straight up chats to the viewers like were all mates. Coolest/ best producer ever

Awesome! I had no idea Disclosure made the instrumental for Blue World! It's a bit like when you don't know when two celebs are related and when you find out you're like oh yeah duh they look alike. Now that i know these guys made Blue world I can tell it has Disclosure written all over it.

one of my favourite tracks off Circles. a very upbeat happy feel. you and Mac did incredible! RIP Mac.

I never realized how much was going on in the beat

I literally almost blew my speakers the first time I heard this track! Must of replayed it 3 or 4 times! Absolutely Classic!

There's something cathartic about these breakdowns, it's beautiful seeing how the magic/art was made. Big shoutout to Guy, Howard, and their whole team for putting these videos out I fw it 💯👍🏼

Oh my god, this made me so happy seeing this

genuinely watch this for 15 minutes before realising that santa hat is real and not edited on.. damn.

22:56 Bass 26:35 Drums

Never realized that this song fits right into the Moonlight EP until now. Such a great song!

i love hearing macs voice with no beat.. chefs kiss

Thank you, this was a goddamn privilege to watch.

Man...This is a masterpiece

great story, Mac was legend. that cigarette was probably legendary:)

Had no idea you produced this song. My favorite song off Circles! RIP MAC 🙏

this was awesome man thank you for sharing!

Mac left the studio so happy that day… what an amazing record. Thank you guys

RIP Mac. Thank you for this fascinating insight, love the song!

This is so weird yet so... i don't know how to describe it. Mac Miller is my favorite artist and i also like electronic music and just listened to and liked some Disclosure songs. Then i find out Disclosure was involved with Blue world. Two worlds coming together in an unexpected way. Thank you.

Song breaks my heart, sure is a blue world with Malcolm. His music will be played for the rest of time, legend.

Amazing!

Ohh I love you so much!!!Please do more of this live interaction stuff

The day this came out and I heard this song I knew it was gonna be something special

wow this is so amazing

Learned so much. RIP Mac

this was a treat to watch :)

Thank you for this ❤️🥺

Thanks for this. Rest in Power Mac ❤️

Sooooo jealous you got to meet him and work with him dude. He's such an incredible artist. And blue world is incredible, great job and thank you for creating this track with him. R.I.P. and he will inspire our music, lives and creativity for ever. :)

oh my god this video is amazing, I been looking for someone explaining this song when it came out last year and damn... I didnt know u produced it =) this is amazing, rip Mac

35:58 I feel he makes this sound so that we don´t have mac´s vocals clean cut :S . Nevertheless, nice vid man it´s an honor having all this info for free really appreciate

This song is a masterpiece. Thank you for the breakdown!

Thank you for this ❤️⭐️

I was so confused because I was like "isnt it called Small Worlds"?? and I thought I was in one of those Berenstain Bears alternate realities...... but Small Worlds was on Swimming. Everything is fine :)

One of my favorite songs ever! So grateful for this collaboration

More breakdowns please!

Thanks a lot for sharing 😊 Keep up with the great music guys!!! Take care. Cheers from Italy 🇮🇹

well done! really well done

that sample is absolutely insane

This was beautiful

Such a great track! Thank you for sharing this ☺ RIP Mac!

thank u so much! as a fan and a musician this is just so great to watch, to learn and feel :)

Amazing track. Rip Mac. 🤍🙏🏻

Thank you so much, you didn't have to share this insight and it's incredibly appreciated. 🙏☯️👍

Thank you for posting this. This song blew me away the first time I ever played it!

i’m so happy u made this :,) blue world was my #1 song last year on apple music stats i heard it 250+ times 😂❤️ and played circles 720 times!

Man.. this is awesome! Woah.

Disclosure you changed my life. Your music pushed me through life even when I felt like giving up. Because of your music I stay alive

Love the tribute to Mac. Don't produce in any capacity but this was awesome to watch. RIP Mac

Really love this breakdown, Mac's my favourite artist and when I heard this tune was coming with you I was so excited it's easily one of my favourites now love how you pieced this together, interesting to learn a few bits from this too!

as soon as you started talking about mac i got goosebumps and teared up. thanks for creating this piece of art with him and being a part of circles.

Thanks for making this beat. Song slaps.

Fell in love with this song the first time I heard it thank you! RIP Mac!

Love to see how you made it swing, instead of just putting everything tight in the grid. The swing feel gives it a natural touch and is a big big part of the track for me!

Glad I found you. Mac's my favorite rapper in the world and has been since I've been in middle school.

Amazing work. The vibes on this track ❤️

I vividly remember hearing this song for the first time. Was producing some beats with a homie at a studio. We listened to the album start to finish. Crazy how time flies.

crazy how he found those chords from the vocal harmonies BAM MIND BLOWN

thank you! this is amazing

Loved this song when it came out and new instantly that you guys were involved! It’s so cool to hear how the songs made, when listening the song felt different and special in some way so it’s ace to hear how you’ve done that. Can’t wait for some new stuff!

Thanks for doing this, really appreciate it!!! From the stories with mac to the production tips, all around amazing!

Phenomenal video❤️

Thank you so much for this. One of my fave songs off the album, deconstructed beautifully!

Thanks for sharing this! As a huge Mac Miller fan, this was balsam for my soul.

This absolutely awesome! Thank you!

Such wonderful to get a look in your project with Mac. One of my most listened songs, ever!

Thank you for uploading this video. I loved your story of working with Mac and the record store. The breakdown is so cool! 🔥

Thanks for sharing every bit of the project, best beat breakdown i've ever seen

Hell of a groove, such a head bobber.

Reaaaally nice to see so many stock plugins and instruments, it makes these breakdowns so much more accessible

this is amazing

This is one of my favorite beats. Love the work man. Rip mac

mate im so jealous of you you met, worked and chilled with mac and made this fucking banger
