I put on my shoes, and I'm ready for the weekend!

Hey All,

It's Friday! Bring on the weekend!

Unfortunately I woke up this morning feeling like death warmed up...but I am not ready to pass on my weekend because of it! I'm currently trying out some of those cold remedies to feel better. You know, tea and honey...some halls.

Anyways, to the music! This is a post I'm pretty stoked about! Time for some music from one of my favourite DJ/producers...Calvin Harris.

Calvin Harris' first LP, I Created Disco, was released in June 2007. With two singles; Acceptable in the 80's and The Girls hitting the top ten, it can't be denied that Calvin Harris' brand of electro-pop music is something very unique.

Since the release of his first record Calvin Harris has been in big demand to produce and remix for other artists. He produced Dizzee Rascal's 2008 number one single, Dance Wiv Me. He also produced some of the tracks featured on Kylie Minogue's tenth studio record, X.

In a  recent Twitter post Calvin Harris announced that he would be performing his last ever live show with the full band at Creamfields (a festival that took place in August this year). He said that he feels a little bit old to be performing some of his songs like The Girls. He also said in a recent interview with Annie Mac, that the live show just isn't what he wants to do anymore.

He has no plans to quit music, he really enjoys DJing and has plans to put together DJ shows and tour in that capacity. I really hope that we continue to see him remix and produce for other artists as well.

In celebration of Canadian Thanksgiving Day weekend, it's time for some Calvin Harris' music. Very appropriately named Ready for the Weekend.

Enjoy!
