Purple Disco Machine, the reigning king of disco, joins forces with hottest British band of the moment Nothing But Thieves, to deliver a captivating new single 'Something on my Mind.' The dynamic collaboration showcases a twist on the typical Purple Disco Machine sound - this time leaning into electronic indie pop with shimmering synth textures, a bubbling electro bassline, and Nothing But Thieves’ unmistakeable vocals. The unique blend of genres from both artists is further enhanced by the dynamic production of the band’s vocals by Dom Craik and the co-production of the backing track by chart topping producer Duke Dumont, who has a friendship with Purple Disco Machine borne out of playing shows together over the years, and a mutual respect for each other's work.

This concept for a collaboration blossomed from a deep mutual respect shared between the two artists. Purple Disco Machine has long been an admirer of the indietronica sound, as evidenced by his remixes for artists like Foals , Two Door Cinema Club , Balthazar , New Order and Royal Blood . When Nothing But Thieves approached him with a request to remix a track from their latest album, Purple Disco Machine had a different proposition in mind. Instead, he proposed the idea of creating something entirely original together. Enthusiastically embracing this notion, the band eagerly joined forces, resulting in the birth of 'Something On My Mind.'

With its shimmering synth-stabs, 'Something On My Mind' wastes no time in captivating the listener with its irresistible groove. Supported by a pulsating electro bassline, each verse builds anticipation, paving the way for a euphoric chorus where Conor Mason's vocals soar to his iconic falsetto disco-bliss heights. Clocking in at a blistering three and a half minutes, this indie dance anthem is poised to win over a fresh wave of admirers for both Purple Disco Machine and Nothing But Thieves, flawlessly melding their distinct sounds into an exhilarating musical fusion.

Lyrics:
I'm not interested in love in a soundbite 
Or skipping mid way through the night 
Don't wanna cut down to the obvious highlights 
You've gone too long unsatisfied 

How does it feel 
When you lie awake 
Ignore the ache 
Just to get through?
How does it feel 
When you lie awake?

Well are you dreaming of me?
'cause there's something on my mind 
Yeah my heart tried to warn me
But there's something on my mind 

I wanna say that thing that pulls you in closer 
That makes you hold on to a life  
I tried to write something that moves the future 
But that's not what you want tonight 

How does it feel 
When you lie awake 
Ignore the ache 
Just to get through?
How does it feel 
When you lie awake?

Well are you dreaming of me?
'Cause there's something on my mind 
Yeah my heart tried to warn me 
But there's something on my mind 

And I'm not ready to give you up
And I'm not ready to give you up

How does it feel 
When you lie awake 
Ignore the ache 
Just to get through?
How does it feel 
When you lie awake?

Two pillars of the present-day disco and funk worlds, Purple Disco Machine and French superstar Kungs team up for their newest release ‘Substitution’. Kicking off the year with this surprising collaboration, the two internationally acclaimed producers prove they are the perfect party-starting pair with a single earmarked to be a dancefloor favorite. The two artist’s relationship flourished when they met at several festivals, with ‘Substitution’ embodying that pure excitement and energy only found dancing next to boogie-loving punters. Combining their innate abilities to bring people together to party, the two teamed up and worked together in Purple Disco Machine’s Dresden studio to iron out the track rather than just sending files back and forth, ensuring an authentic disco hit.

It signals Purple Disco Machine’s first single since earning the 2023 Grammy for Best Remix Performance on Lizzo’s ‘It’s About Damn Time’ and follows a tremendous few years of success for the electronic virtuoso. The prestigious producer has earned a reputation as a chart-topper with his collaborations with Sophie and the Giants in ‘Hypnotized’ and ‘In The Dark’, while also bringing out a catalogue of hits along the journey to the 2021 release of his sophomore album ‘Exotica’. Meanwhile, Kungs has earned his crown as the leader of the French electronic revolution with his 2022 album ‘Club Azur’ proving his aptitude for making people move with airplay-chart hits such as ‘Clap Your Hands’ and ‘Never Going Home’. He embeds that dance floor flavour into ‘Substitution’, only complementing Purple Disco Machine’s own flair for groove-laden beats.

The pair exhibit a perfect musical marriage of Italo-disco influences to ensure dancefloor excellence and a lyricism that will sing away at your heart. In apropos fashion for both men, the single kicks off with enchanting piano chords and a signature funk-fuelled bassline. Sampling the iconic 1984 hit ‘Big in Japan’ from Alphaville, there is a sense of poise and class within the production while the two simultaneously exude a carefree charisma that permeates throughout ‘Substitution’ The disco-heat melds effortlessly with the soulful-pop hooks that will have you getting lost in the lust of the lyrics. However, while you’ll be singing along it’ll be evidently clear that the two artist’s roots come from the human experience found on the club dancefloor, as is conspicuous throughout the vibrant production.

Lyrics:
Am I high or low
Am I bipolar
Need another you 
To shake it shake it 
Ohh I love that face
perfect stranger 
Cus I could use someone 
To shake it shake it 
 
But I know that I can’t get you out of my head
And I know I can’t numb you away 
Yeah I know when I wake up with her instead
No there ain’t no one replacing you 
No there ain’t no one replacing you 
 
Uuhh 
Been looking for substitution 
Uuhh 
Healing my hearts confusion 
Uuhh 
Been looking for substitution 
But there ain’t no one replacing you 
Uuhh 
Been looking for substitution 
Uuhh 
Losing all of my illusions 
Uh-Uuhh 
Looking for substitution 
Cus there ain’t no one replacing you 
 
Gotta losen up 
My emotions 
Just start it up 
To shake it shake it 
When I hear your name 
I can’t be sober 
I could use someone 
To shake it shake it

[item value="10"] Purple Disco Machine x Kungs  - Substitution [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]When the incredible talented German Purple Disco Machine meets the French talent Kungs  then the result can only be the explosive Substitution. The track continues on the well known Italo disco house sound that has been revived so wonderfully from the Purple Disco Machine. Full of funk and groove along with the unforgettable synths of the Alphaville classic track then you get an instant pressure cooker. When you add a very strong male vocal with lyrics that stay in your head for days and without even trying u start to singalong then u know that we deal with another global smash to make our Spring more colorful full of happiness and joy. #PureGold Love IT  [/content]

MK (Marc Kinchen) has unveiled his brand-new single, ‘Back & Forth’, a dynamic collaboration with Platinum-selling, Brit Award nominee Jonas Blue, and chart-topping artist and songwriter, Becky Hill.

An upbeat record led by MK’s warm piano-house style, combined with Becky Hill’s soulful songwriting and incredible vocal, paired with the instinctive pop sensibility of Jonas Blue makes this a collaborative recipe that is sure to please across the board. “Back & Forth” marks the second time the Detroit DJ has teamed up with Becky, following the pair’s success with their 2016 Gold certified hit ‘Piece of Me.’ (over 56 Million Streams to date)

Friend and collaborator, Jonas Blue sprinkles his melodic touches throughout ‘Back & Forth.’ The home grown, UK talent is already a multi-platinum selling artist, who recently scored huge success with his summer anthem ‘Rise’. MK collaborator & good friend, Becky Hill is also known for her soul stirring, powerful vocals on tracks like ‘False Alarm’ as well as her UK #1 single ‘Gecko’ with Oliver Heldens.

MK, who is an iconic house producer, artist and DJ may be best known for his timeless remixes and 2017 summer anthem ‘17’ (over 100 million Spotify streams). He is also the proud owner and creative force behind his Area10 label and event brand, which has hosted parties worldwide, headlining stages at the likes of SW4, Creamfields and Croatia’s Defected Festival, as well as the sold out weekly Ibiza Rocks Area 10 residency this summer. The Area 10 label will start releasing some of its own repertoire this coming year.

MK recently dropped his bass-driven “MK Dub” mix of the record in his Creamfields set (which is set for release as the B-side to the original), having originally created the beat for the track in unison with Chelsea Football Club’s players as part of his ‘Beatball’ project back in June. On first listen, it is easy to tell that ‘Back & Forth’ is destined to cement a place as one of the ultimate post-summer tunes across radio and dancefloors worldwide. An addictive and rhythmic release, the track is set for release on Friday 7th September.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]MK x Jonas Blue x Becky Hill joined forces for the excellent urban pop friendly house sensational single Back & Forth. While the original version is the perfect Top 10 UK material with straight away success because all the ingredients are there with addictive piano chords, hooky melody, nice groove and soulful vocals with lyrics easy to identify with. The Dub mix is the one for me as it takes the track on the dark pathway with deeper warmer basslines, cold melodramatic synthy riffs, electronic style melodies and cool chopped vocals in a very moody result that will please the underground heads and not only! #PureGold #PurePOP [/content]

Remixes by Solomun, The Belleville Three, Chris Liebing and Maya Jane Coles.

Going Backwards -Depeche Mode
We are not there yet
We have not evolved
We have no respect
We have lost control
We're going backwards
Ignoring the realities
Going backwards
Are you counting all the casualties?
We are not there yet
Where we need to be
We are still in debt
To our insanities
We're going backwards
Turning back our history
Going backwards
Piling on the misery
We can track it all with satellites
See it all in plain sight
Watch men die in real time
But we have nothing inside
We feel nothing inside
We are not there yet
We have lost our soul
The course has been set
We're digging our own hole
We're going backwards
Armed with new technology
Going backwards
To a caveman mentality
We can emulate on consoles
Killings we can control
With senses that have been dulled
Because there's nothing inside
We feel nothing inside
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
Because there's nothing inside
Because there's nothing inside
Songwriters: Martin Gore

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Depeche Mode is considered to be one of the most influential indie alternative band of all time which always remain cutting edge and they never sell out in order to be more saleable. Their latest single Going Backwards receive the stunning remixes that really deserves. First of all the melodic and spacious The Belleville Three remixes who deliver the beautiful old school deep melodic Detroit tech house version with rave synths and classic organ riffs while the classy vocals sounds so much at home. Dark and marvellous remix to get multiple plays on deep and tech house clubs. Solomun is the absolute star of the moment and his deep haunting house remix is tribal, groovy, moody and trancy at the same time with electro pop synths and infectious percussive groove to keep your body shaking with shivers from head to toe with vocal chops looped to get the crowd excited. Lastly Maya Jane Coles transforms the track into a deep minimal excursion that certainly is an adventure worth taking. Wobbly grooves, industrial touches, guitar riffs and lazy hypnotic groove to carry mind, body and soul away. Depeche Mode tracks receive always the best remix treatments and this package is one not to be missed. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

The hyper-awaited remixes of the number 1 hit of the moment!

Tiesto and Offaiah have put their hands on My Way, the latest single by Calvin Harris, a real hit that already counts more than 122 million streams on Spotify only.

You cant miss these!!






Calvin Harris - My Way (Lyrics)

Why wait
To say
At least I did it my way

Lie awake
Two faced
But in my heart, I understand

I made
My move
And it was all about you
Now I feel so far removed

You were the one thing in my way
My way

Why wait
To say
At least I did it my way

Lie awake
Two faced
But in my heart, I understand

I made
My move
And it was all about you
Now I feel so far removed

You were the one thing in my way
My way

You were the one thing in my way
My way

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Calvin Harris is a hit maker and whatever he touches turn into gold. The brand new track My Way features the vocals by Calvin himself and certainly the lyrics are self referential. The track is energetic and summery with cool balearic guitar riff running throughout supported by beautiful piano chords and cinematic strings. The vocal performance is strong enough to make you sing a long and certainly the small sadness in his  voice makes the whole production really special along with the  celebratory ole ole ole. Quality production from the ultra talented Scottish guy that impressed me in his performance at Creamfields. Now on the package the excellent  Offaiah Remix is added that goes towards the clubbier direction with less vocals, more funky basslines, bouncy thumping grooves and cool late night atmosphere with  pure house echoes all over it! Tiesto remix is the mainstage killer with superb hybrid of future house and dirty dutch house that simply works. The breakdown perfect to let the vocals flow and then the massacre begins in the climax. Its such an awesome package of club mixes that radio folks will appreciate very much. #PureGold Love It[/content]

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Magnetised is one of those songs that is perfect for club remixes as it has certain darkness and weirdness that the massive remixes manage to expose even more with focus point of course Tom and his incredible skills in singing and song writing. Secondcity is dark driving emotional minimal version that brings to the forefront the voice with some piano chords here and there. Kat Krazy provide the euphoric future house ready for Ibiza style remix that you know that will explode on the dancefloor. The beloved German duo Tube & Berger deliver an excellent deep house version with electronic melodies, xylophone melodies and breakdown with full orchestral parts that will catch your audience by surprise and magnetise them on the dancefloor. These remixes fit perfectly the eclectic sound of Tom Odell. #PureGold Love iT [/content]

The World's Highest-Paid DJ, Calvin Harris, returns to team-up with the amazing Rihanna after the enormous success of “Found Love” back in 2011, a song that remained at the top of the Billboard Chart for 10 weeks in a  row.

The new single is titled “This Is What You Came For” and the sound is sensibly more relaxed and tropicalized than it was for “Found Love”, which was closer to the prog-house roots of the scottish DJ and Producer.

Once again the two demonstrate their terrific talent: Calvin Harris as a producer that with his skills has been able to win several awards and collect an impressive amount of golden and platinum records; Rihanna as a real 360° artist, able to perform any genre from hip hop to ballades, from pure pop to dance music, never losing not even a crumb of his transcendental charisma and attitude.

If you like summery relaxing positive erotic sounds this track will satisfy you 100%. Lets hope  to see it ride high in the pop charts and it deserves it. #PureGold Love it[/content]

Over 50.000.000 combined youtube views with an official videoclip that in 4 days generated over 2.700.000 views alone. More than 133.000.000 streams on Spotify. And this is just the beginning for the new monster from the magic duo.

The catchy vocals this time are on the british newcomer Daya, who is buzzing a lot lately all over Europe.

Since the original version is veeeery radio friendly this package helps the festival and clubs with remixes by the likes of W&W, Zomboy, Ricky Remedy and Ephwurd.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The Chainsmokers are the new stars in the prog house scene and their latest track is top trap style anthem with the vocal by Daya. The remix package is truly diverse and expand the audience of the original. The unstoppable W&W are cranking the stereo system with a top version that starts all trap and groovy and then in the climax moves towards harddance house style direction. Ephwurd Remix is the perfect deep house/future house version with pitched vocals, punchy basslines and top breakdown with big strings, epic synths and climax to die for in true rave house style. Rick Remedy plays on the same terrain is the original with faster basslines and sexy laidback rhythm. If you want tougher version Zomboy remix is dubstep at its best with metallic grooves, ecstatic basslines and great atmosphere and sound design. Its big surprise that the package doesn't include uplifting prog house versions. Love It[/content]

LYRICS
Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle, fight dark forces
In the clear moon light
Without fear... insomnia
I can't get no sleep

I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry
Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia please release me and let me dream of
Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearin' off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks
Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still, that night I write by candle light
I find insight, fundamental movement, uh
So when it's back this insomniac take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep

I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep, although I get no sleep
I need to sleep, although I get no sleep

Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the most influential and beloved UK bands in electronic Music are the awesome Faithless. The news that they are back in action will please many fans worldwide and will introduce them to a new generation of fans as well. Brand new remix on Insomnia one of the biggest tracks comes from the hands of the Swedish wonder boy AVICII. The always inventive young dj and producer deliver his very personal club version that definitely is not what you expect from him. His sound on this remix is much more raw and dark with tribal pounding grooves, thumping dark basslines and stretched down vocals that sound great. The breakdown is packed with the well known eurodance early 90's pizzicato synthy riff that gives you goosebumps even if you hear it after many years and years. It's simply a phenomenon why this melody manage always to give you so much excitement and wake your senses. His climax is dark and techy so you will adore it and keep you jumping and shaking. The ultimate anthem dedicated to our sleepless nights is back! #PureGold Love It

How massive is this brand new remix of Calvin Harris new club hit 'Pray To God' which features the brilliant HAIM and remixed by none other than Calvin Harris vs Mike Pickering Hacienda Remix).

Massive old skool vibes, one massive piano, those distinctive vocals and surely set to be a standout remix of the year.

HUGE... Nuff said!!!!





Dimitri Kechagias review: Calvin Harris is the artist that everybody loves to hate. Those who love him recognise his ability to produce tracks that become global smash hits. Those who hate him accuse him that he sell out with his pop dance tracks without being underground and credible enough. If I had to choose between the two camps I will definitely be on the side of those who admire him. Simply he is so talented and he knows how to compose tracks that will make the crowd smile and sing a long. Calvin Harris has the midas touch and  certainly many despise him for that. His new single Pray To God is remixed by Calvin Harris himself along with the magic hands of the legend Mike Pickering. The result is an outstanding version that has tough grooves and heavy old school early 90's garage house basslines to stand in the big room clubs while the piano chords are of course early 90s with that Hacienda touch to them without doubts and nice early synthy layers too. When two legends come together the result is something more than  mindblowing! With basic back2basics elements and the sparkling crystal clear voice by Haim the only thing that you can do is let those inhibitions go and run on the dancefloor and smile cause we only leave once! #PureGold Love It

Fresh from being named by Forbes as both the highest earning British musician as well as the #1 DJ in the world, Calvin Harris will be releasing his next single ‘Blame’ out September 7th. Featuring triple Brit Nominee and million plus selling British singer John Newman, the record creates ones of Harris’ most exciting musical pairings to date.

Calvin has been touring the US and European festival scene with appearances at Coachella, T In The Park, Lollapalooza and Pukkelpop Festival.

‘Blame’ will debut globally on September 4th 2014. The video is directed by renowned filmmaker Emil Nava.

‘Blame’ follows Calvin’s global hit ‘Summer', which sat at the top of the Spotify Global Chart for nine weeks running and has amassed over 100 million streams to date. ‘Summer’ has now sold over 2 million downloads worldwide and has been #1 in over 40 global iTunes markets.



Dimitri Kechagias review: Calvin Harris is not only an exceptional dj that seems to be able to read like no other what the crowd demands to hear on the dancefloor but also a magnificent producer who delivers tracks that crossover to the mainstream audience and the clubs crowds too. His brand new track Blame is a magnificent collaboration with one of the best singers coming from UK at the moment, the uber talented John Newman. The track is a powerful energetic progressive house banger that merges the retro John Newman performance style with rough agressive basslines, uplifting synths and feel good Ibiza style melodies. Blame is one of those tracks that have simple and infectious ingredients and satisfy the big public without being cheap or cheese. It's hard to keep quality levels in a fast food music era but Calvin Harris seems that he has found the perfect balance for it! UK number 1 without even thinking about it! #PureDiamond Love It

"Rude" is the debut single by Canadian reggae fusion band Magic! from their debut studio album, "Don't Kill the Magic". 

Damn hot remix by EDM superstar ZEDD !!!


















Dimitri Kechagias review: The original version of Rude by MAGIC! was released last year with 105,613,779 views on YOUTUBE with many comments underneath that the majority of them are centred around the question if still is important for a man to ask the father of his future wife to give him her hand and get his blessing as well. Anyway ZEDD is on board and his remix on the reggae pop dance original is an excellent peak time progressive house slammer with rough aggressive beats, punchy in your face basslines and classy uplifting synths of course. Great melodic breakdown that allows the full vocal to shine and get the festival crowd singalong and get interactive with the dj. His drop is rough and euphoric to the maximum so expect to minimise boredom and maximise feel good atmosphere and happiness. Its the perfect track to surprise your crowd and give them opportunity to go crazy on the dancefloor! #PureGold Love it

Andreas had his first big break in 2011 when he was asked to feature on Avicii's world-wide hit single 'Fade into Darkness' and from there the buzz picked up furthermore when he sang and co-wrote the double Platinum selling singles “Long Time”, “Under The Sun” and “Dance Our Tears Away” with Swedish DJ, John de Sohn, picked up by LA Reid in the US on Epic Records. 

Since then, Andreas has continued to collaborate with well known DJ’s around the world and enjoys writing toplines for dance music. 

However his heart has always been and will always be in pursuing his own singer songwriter career, he prefers a more laid back acoustic guitar sound, perfectly demonstrated by his first single “Ocean”.

Andreas Moe says, "Ocean is a simple song about the power of love. 

When the right person loves you at the right time and in the right way, they can turnthat "river" inside of you into an "Ocean". 

I co-wrote and co-produced the song and I'm so happy to be able to release it as my single”.





Dimitri Kechagias review: It's shaped to become one of the hottest tracks for this summer. Andreas Moe from Sweden is another very talented singer that has personality and very unique delivery of excellent lyrics that stay in the corners of your mind for long. The track Ocean receives the remix treatment and is  ready to conquer dj playlists and radio stations exposure as well. Achtabahn Remix is a wonderful deep house meets electronic pop version with classy synthy melodies, rhythm'n'blues guitar riffs, trumpets parts and addictive exotic relaxing rhythm. It's one of those tracks that when it comes on the radio will attract the attention of your ears straight. Hagen Stocklossa remix remains on the same deep house meets electronic sound with focus on the mesmeric guitar riffs and warm cinematic strings. LCAW remix is the deeper, more atmospheric and truly emotional and esoteric version that introduces brand new synthy themes and brings the organic guitar at the forefront turning the original into an exceptional production not to be missed on the dancefloor near you! #PureDiamond Love it

ARCHES bring the classic house back on the dance floor, without sounding regressive or dust in any manner. 

Forward-thinking electro sound with the love for Old School House is an accurate description for the sound of ARCHES. 

ARCHES, which are Seba (Moonlight Matters) and Jochen (sound stereo). 

They draw their inspiration from the "New Beat", a genre of dance music, which culminated in the 80s and is originally coming from their homeland Belgium. 

"There's A Place"  guarantees to shake you on the Dancefloor. 



Dimitri Kechagias review: Two great EDM styles are attempting to win the battle of the sound of 2014. Deep house that is the new trend in the mainstream culture with many number 1 songs on the UK Top 40 and progressive/festival house releases that were big in 2013 and continue to be the main ingredient of the massive phenomenon that is EDM festivals and the culture that is developed slowly around it. The next mega smash coming is called There's A Place from the Belgian Arches. The original extended mix is  old school 90's house with disco and garage house infusions. It's very danceable with addictive groove and feel good rhythm that works perfectly with the slightly distorted pitched down vocals that became an established element. It's the kind of music that can be easily played in beach bars, festivals and of course radio stations. Russ Chimes Remix is a much more upfront uplifting house version with relaxing laidback atmosphere, old school house organ riffs, beautiful synthy melodies, warm strings and body shaking bubbly groove  and deep haunting basslines that carry you away for a nice ride on the dancefloor! Last but not least My Digital Enemy remix is perfect for Ibiza summer club floors. With it's tech house meets electro house groove coupled with nice old school synthy riffs and massive overloading of old school piano riffs in the breakdown is definitely a winner and sure summer favourite. When you hear it, you feel much more HIGHER! #PureGold Love iT

For Steve Angello you do not have to say much more probably. He is one of the greatest when it comes to producing &  DJing. 

As a former member of the Swedish House Mafia, and of course classic Swedish producer talent he now comes with the absolute club anthem "Payback".

"Payback" is the Hands Up track par excellence, and with such a producer like Steve Angello in the back  it needs no justification why is called the Definitive Club Anthem of 2014.






Dimitri Kechagias review:  The latest mega smash to surface from the underground and catapult into the mainstream is Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman Vs. Steve Angello anthem Payback. The track released on Size / Columbia is a powerful hands in the air epic prog house anthem that remains faithful on the big room epic prog house style with huge euphoric synthy leads, tough bouncy pumping basslines and  vibrating beats that smash your soundsystem whenever you hear it! Energetic and unstoppable is the kind of track that will excite the crowd and raise the adrenaline level to the maximum and decrease boredom to the minimum. It's from the type of tracks that make you feel excited and ready to party in Ibiza or on the big summer festivals. Payback is pure emotional headbanging anthem that contains orchestral classical music influences and arrangement that keep you interested and engaged from the first kick till the last beat! #PureGold Love iT

Thanks to dj propaganda team for the very nice promo

Following the release of his UK number 1 single, Under Control, April 28th sees the release of the new track “Summer” from internationally acclaimed DJ and producer Calvin Harris.

Written and produced by Calvin, "Summer" features Calvin himself on vocals for the first time since his multi million selling single and global hit Feel So Close.

A Grammy award-winning, multi-talented DJ, songwriter, performer and producer, Calvin's career has seen him sell over 2 million albums and more than 35 million singles worldwide. In the last year he has picked up an MTV VMA award and he became the first DJ to win a coveted Ivor Novello award for Songwriter Of The Year. He was recently named the #1 highest earning DJ in the world by the prestigious publication Forbes. He also broke Michael Jackson’s long-standing record for the most amount of UK top ten hits taken from one album with his last release 18 Months.

Calvin will be returning to Europe for headline festival appearances at T In The Park, Creamfields, Isle Of Wight Festival, Pukkelpop Belgium and Summerburst Sweden. On top of this is the state-side continuation of his 18 month long sold out residency at Hakkasan Las Vegas and summer season pool party Wet Republic.

He will also be headlining Coachella and EDC New York.

Details of his Summer Ibiza residency will be announced in the forthcoming weeks.

“Summer” is available on pre-order on digital from March 14th on Columbia Records. 



Dimitri Kechagias review:  Calvin Harris is a real phenomenon. He is a hit producer that never stops to impress with every single or remix he does. His singles manage to reach the number 1 position at the official UK Top 40 easily and everybody is waiting with wide open ears his top productions. He definitely has the Midas touch and his forthcoming single is a big proof for that. Summer is all about the season that everybody loves and waits with anticipation to come cause simply it means holidays and endless walks in the park. Now this beloved season found this wonderful track to capture its real essence. What is really amazing for this new single is that Calvin Harris is the singer of the track and we must admit that his voice is really witty and very sexy indeed. The lyrics quite simple but very catchy and bright as represent many of hour life stories that happened during summer. Love stories that started during the summer and ended in the summer and others that continued for many more summers as well. The track is modern epic progressive house but incorporates elements of old school French house with retro tendencies as well. The result is the type of track that old ages can get satisfaction and radio stations will adopt straight away. Summer is just around the corner and the next Calvin Harris number 1 UK Top 40 too. Lovable artist! #PureGold Love iT

International DJ & producer Calvin Harris has announced a new single, Under Control, a collaboration with Alesso that features Hurts. This teaming on the single will be released via Columbia Records on November 25th 2013. 

This track, packed with the same vibrancy & infectious beats he’s delivered on all of his songs, will be Calvin’s first release after chartbuster album 18 Months which chalked-up nine back-to-back Top 10 singles. That album, released late last year has so far amassed well over 1.2 million album sales worldwide whilst his UK singles sales tally exceeds the 4.5 million mark. “Under Control” follows on from a growing list of top musical partnerships, sitting alongside album smash hits featuring Rihanna, Florence Welch & Ellie Goulding. 

Sweden’s hottest new export, producer and DJ, Alesso, is a hugely exciting collaborator on ‘Under Control’. His debut single ‘Nillionaire’ launched only 2 years ago and was followed by a slew of Beatport hits, chart successes with One Republic and ending 2012 being voted the Hottest Record of the Year by Zane Lowe for his collaboration with Sebastian Ingrosso. 

The wonderful Hurts feature on the collaboration between the two dance heavyweights, adding a unique twist to the record. Hurts have enjoyed huge global success this year with the release of their second album ‘Exile’. After a sold out European tour and a summer of festivals, the band will embark on their biggest tour to date, The Exile Tour, this autumn playing across arena’s in eighteen countries 

Alesso takes his new ‘Uprising’ Tour on the road across North America, to Australia with Stereosonic Festival, and ends 2013 with sell-out shows at London’s Brixton Academy & Glasgow’s O2 Academy. 

Calvin Harris will also be playing a handful of UK arena shows in December. Kicking-off in Belfast at the Odyssey Arena on the 18th & wrapping-up just four days later in Glasgow on the 22nd. In between that run he’ll play London’s Earls Court on the 20th. 



Dimitri Kechagias review: Calvin Harris is one of the most beloved EDM djs and producer with massive club anthems under his belt and with mindblowing mainstream chart success all over the world. His brand new track features an incredible collaboration with Alesso and beautiful male vocal by The Hurts. Its straight forward stadium size progressive house with great intro breakdown that allows the nice vocal to shine on top and the hi-nrg synths to energise you to the maximum. The drop is full on euphoria with big synths upon the pumping beats and the raw and punchy basslines. Superb extended version that deserves to get many plays cause simply the big crowds adore Calvin Harris and Alesso. It will catapult the UK Top 10 without doubts, Highly recommended. Love IT
