Calvin Harris
Favoring a naughty schoolboy look that makes him seem even younger than his already tender years (22 when his first major-label album was released), Scottish artist, producer, and remixer Calvin Harris has a similarly youthful and forward-looking approach to his music. Skipping the usual apprenticeship in the clubs or on indie labels, Harris went from posting his own D.I.Y. electroclash music online through {/MySpace} and similar sites to signing with the multinational giant EMI almost in a single step.

Calvin Harris has proven himself a force to be reckoned with - and he's back with a brand new album! An album of hits, referred to by Calvin himself as "stadium dance music," you can expect criminally catchy beats, Italian house-style piano vamps, and plenty of synth-drenched female vocals.

What's more, he has the talent to produce it all at the highest level possible, right up there with {$Daft P [ read more ]

Scottish remixer, songwriter, former bedroom artist, {/MySpace} star, and finally major-label recording artist on EMI, Calvin Harris released his debut album of electronic dance music with snatches of the Human League, or maybe more accurately the League Unlimited Orchestra, in the summer of 2007, including two Top Ten singles, "Acceptable in the 80s" and "The Girls." The former track is a slice of tongue-in-cheek disco-pop for all those born in the decade after dance music took over the w [ read more ]
