Calvin Harris
Electro |
Billboard
Just 23 years old and hailing from Dumfries, Scotland, Calvin Harris made his debut album I Created Disco in his bedroom on a battered old Amiga computer. Now touring with a full band and an explosive live show, he sets his sites on the US with his debut release for Almost Gold on September 4th.
Calvin Harris is one of those 'myspace sensations' you keep reading about. He was wildly popular amongst The Kids and on The Club Scene. Acceptable In The 80s was Calvin's first UK proper single release and will be the first US single. It sparkles with high gloss, glitz and glamour like a disco ball catching the light. Acceptable in the 80's was due to be an introductory single, which gained momentum on radio and led to a top 10 chart position which exceeded all expectations along with the 100k sales it has now achieved. Most recently, Harris (backed by his five piece live band,) has wowed 10- 15,000 capacity arena audiences opening up for artists such as Faithless and Groove Armada.
And now Calvin Harris has big plans for summer 2007: a debut album, of course, and then a UK single called 'Colours.' He is also getting ready to kick off his first and already sold out headline tour this July and of course all the summer's festivals including Glastonbury.
On "Acceptable in the 80's", Calvin explains:
"The song titles say it all. My tunes aren't supposed to invoke deep thought within people; they're just to get you dancing. But musically it is for the brain - it's not music for stupid people. I take great pride in my productions. It's not knocked out in a few seconds."

i don't typically like techno and DJ style music (forgive me if i'm mis-classifying you) but I am digging it. Keep it up...you've managed to create a unique sound in a genre that is wrought with repetitive, boring music.
