Calvin Harris featuring Ellie Goulding, “I Need Your Love” (Louis La Roche Remix)

Big synths and chopped-up vocals make this polish of one of the better tracks on Harris’s most recent record a must-listen.

Just a quick note…

…to say that Tumblr has been very cranky on our end today (probably because of stupid things like hurricanes plowing through Manhattan,) so we’ll probably just wait until tomorrow to post. You probably have more important things to do right now anyway. In the meantime, we recommend picking up the new Calvin Harris album 18 Months if you want to listen to some very stupid, formulaic, but undeniably well-produced EDM.

Calvin Harris, “The Girls” (Cendrim Remix)

We’re a sucker for Calvin Harris here at Disco Potential Manor and this over-the-top, Madeon-influenced dancefloor reworking is just about perfect. Go and click and download for your own nefarious purposes.

Calvin Harris featuring Ne-Yo, “Let’s Go” (Pittman Remix)

Calvin Harris becoming the go-to producer for R&B types needing a dancefloor hit is a bit weird, but it works perfectly and we really like this slightly housier take on his latest single, even if we’re a little bummed out by how ubiquitous his big acid-tinged melodies are getting to be.
