He likes them white girls, black girls, brown girls and mixed-race girls. It's Calvin Harris, who is no stranger to WAO. At only 24 years old, Harris has exploded onto the indie-dance music scene to become a pop music darling in the UK, already producing tracks for Kylie Minogue and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. His own album I Created Disco received a bit of mixed reviews, but so far most of the singles have been big dancefloor hits -- well at least in Europe; the States has been slow to catch on.
Calvin Harris' appearance at the Scion Penthouse Party at the Raleigh Hotel on Friday and Ultra Music Festival Day 2 on Saturday will mark his first time performing in the States after achieving much success. I find it hard to believe that more people aren't clamoring to get this guy over here regularly. Also word is Harris will be performing live, not DJing, at Poplife at White Room after his Ultra appearance. So if you love Harris, White Room will provide a super intimate show that you aren't going to get at Ultra.
Anyways, I leave you with the first proper record he released, Acceptable in the '80s, which is still to this day, my favorite track. It's synth-y and borderline cheesy, but it's gold:
P.S> we'll be doing giveaways for lots of shows for WMC so tune in.
