Calvin Harris creates disco with Acceptable In The 80s

Calvin Harris - Acceptable In The 80sJust 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 sights on the US with his debut release for Almost Gold Recordings on September 4th, 2007.

“Acceptable In The 80s,” Calvin’s first single in both the UK and the US, sparkles with high gloss, glitz and glamour like a disco ball catching the light. A masterpiece of hooks and gushing synths it is a testament to the talent at work.

This summer, Calvin Harris, along with Rikki Stixxx (drums), Davey Planecrash (bass), Irving (lead guitar) and Sean vs the robots (keyboards) will kick off his first and already sold out headline tour this July and of course all the summer’s festivals including Glastonbury. They’ve recently wowed 10 – 15,000 capacity arena audiences opening up for artists such as Faithless and Groove Armada.

Calvin Harris is making his mark on 2007 in style — “Disco disappeared, didn’t it? Everyone got sick of it. Now I’m reviving it, with space goggles, or something.”

“The song titles say it all,” he explains. “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.”
