Calvin Harris - 96 Months + General Discussion

[LPMA]

So, how long has @Popjustice known about this? He's been hinting at it for a few weeks now.

Maybe Peter knew, but he was probably just reading the tea leaves ( + her recent appearance at Coachella). This was kept pretty well under wraps.

It's surprising how exciting the prospect of this era is.

I wonder if Taylor will end up never collaborating with him just so another Rita Ora situation doesn't happen.

Looks like it's Calvin ft. Rihanna vs. Zedd ft. Kesha for 4/29 releases.

Calvin / Rihanna is an original track and they are bigger names by a considerable amount.

Probably not much of a competition. I mean the Kesha one is an existing song, isn't it? Thats like a year old?

One that very few people will have heard before the Kesha version is released, but yeah it won't be any real competition.

I feel like I'm done with Calvin but my taint will probably disagree.

 

[SMG]

Speaking of house, can someone direct me to a good mix or collection of great tracks?

As mentioned, its such a diverse genre but here's some of my favourites.

God is real.

 

[acrimonious mammoth]

Yassss a bop.

 

[dijeizasin]

God is real.

If follow Calvin on social media, he's been throwing hints that his new album is about God, faith and spirituality.

Thanks @SMG, @Andy French, @goldsoundz and @Euphoria. These are good places to start.

 

[K94]

He's gonna have to claw back the pop sensibility he had in droves with his first two albums and, for the most the most part, 18 Months. I bought Motion for 99p on Google Play and still haven't listened.

 

[Modeblock]

I need this to be unequivocally DEEP (maybe a little Future) House. I will not be here for anything remotely tropical. Please God, NO.

 

[Poker Pro]

All great classic tracks. "Take Care" is house influenced, and Drake's "One Dance" is reggae-house fusion (that Korg M1 "piano 1" preset used is pretty much synonymous with 90s house). Of course, he could also go the too obvious Tropical route, or do something more in the vein of dancey rhythmic/pop like Diplo, JACKU, Flume, etc.

And this is how I spent an hour watching synthesizer videos on YouTube.

 

[WhyCntrl]

"What are you doing my love?"

I swear if Rihanna has a collab on Drake's album this will be too much.

 

[Syzygyz]

This is a Rita Ora castoff. Got to be, got to be.

No problem! Let me know if you want any more recommendations. Also, if you're looking for a great modern house producer, The Black Madonna is amazing:

Awesome. The M1 is one of my favorites. Here's a fun one

If I have time this weekend (big if), I can make some adjustments to the "Needed Me" multi (that piano 16, tho!):
