Calvin Harris: I Created Disco to hit US
Calvin Harris is being introduced to the US market on September 4, with the release of I Created Disco. The fourteen track album was first released in Europe on June 18 via EMI, already sporting several hit songs in the UK. Almost Gold, who brought us Peter Bjorn and John and Walter Meego, is Calvin’s North American label.
“Exhibiting a creative and inventive edge, but still undeniably pop, Calvin Harris’s music is already picking up rave reviews and daytime Radio 1 play. Just 23 years old and hailing from Dumfries, this young Scot made his debut album I Created Disco in his bedroom on a battered old Amiga computer.” (Almost Gold)
This 80’s electronic inspired artist from Scotland surprised the UK charts with his first top ten single, Acceptable In The 80’s, staying on the charts for fifteen weeks. He followed this single with The Girls, reaching number three on the charts, and Merrymaking At My Place following this. (Wikipedia)
Building on the success of his radio singles, Calvin Harris will be traveling the UK, France, and Holland on weekend dates in August and September. Calvin’s I Created Disco UK Tour will hit in the month of November; tickets for the tour are currently on sale.
