Calvin Harris - I Created Disco

Almost Gold Recordings
Grade: A-/B+

When you eye the moniker Calvin Harris and the title of the record I Created Disco, you aren’t thinking good things – really. But within a minute or so of the opening song “Merry Making At My Place” and the funky electro beat disco begins in full mode you begin to foot tap and the rest just folds like a chair. With a gaggle of vocal guests, Calvin Harris slides through a fourteen-song album filled with club, party, and home anthems – enough to get the least likely to move their feet. I Created manages to couple every electronic sound ever made into one tight package – beginning with the 70s and simply expanding to encompass the 80s, 90s, and 00s (sounds like a light FM station line, but this is actually good and good for you). Besides from the strong opener, tracks to hit your go spot include “Colours,” the hot smoking “The Girls,” “Acceptable in the 80’s,” “Vegas,” “Disco Heat,” and the title track. It would be a shame if Calvin Harris doesn’t explode in the US, at least in the electro club arena; otherwise Euro clubs and Ibiza are the stately fair.
