Calvin Harris

The title of Scottish DJ/singer-songwriter Calvin Harris' 2007 debut, I Created Disco, might be a grandiose claim, but the album came loaded with danceable jams begging to be remixed and thrown on at the club during peak hours.

His third album is scheduled for release in March, and Harris' disco love is a perfect fit for Zouk, which was previously the renowned Starck Club.
