Silva & Luude Flip Calvin Harris’ Classic ‘You Used To Hold Me’

Calvin Harris’ ‘You Used To Hold Me’ is a certified classic. Coming off his sophomore album Ready For The Weekend, the track was a standout smash alongside hits like ‘Flashback,’ ‘The Rain,’ & ‘Dance wiv Me.’ Combining emotional and catchy vocals with a driving electro-house beat made it a mainstay at festivals and in DJ sets. Released at a pivotal time when electronic music was beginning its ascent into the mainstream, this track and Calvin Harris hold a special place in my heart for helping me fall in love with the scene. Anytime the song plays it’s pure nostalgia. So when Silva hit me up and said he had a DnB flip with Luude on the way I was elated.

Taking on such an iconic record is no easy feat but the pair do it with the utmost tact and success. Still driven by Calvin’s powerful vocals, Silva and Luude retain all the key elements that made the original so special. Nothing is overdone but it still sounds unmistakeably fresh. I wasn’t in the market for a DnB edit of ‘You Used To Hold Me’ but now that’s it here, I don’t want to imagine a world without it. The drums will have you shuffling with a renewed vigor as you sing along and get lost in the feels. Blast this on repeat, I certainly have been.

Shootout. Calvin Harris always brings the heat and this time is no different. With the new album ‘Motion’ set for a Halloween release date, Calvin Harris dropped the visuals for his new single with Big Sean. The track features two verses from Sean that lead into massive drops that will definitely rock the crowds from pool parties to music festivals.

Calvin Harris – Summer (Diplo and Grandtheft Remix)

Colin — Fri, 20 Jun 2014 15:56:17 +0000

This year’s summer anthem is here. The highly anticipated remix of Calvin Harris’ ‘Summer’ from Diplo and Grandtheft is guaranteed to dominate every festival, club and maybe even the radio until temperatures begin to dip. No strangers to collaborating Diplo and Grandtheft provide a remix of epic proportions. Perfectly utilizing Calvin’s catchy vocals, the two producers turn this track way up. From the beginning things just keep getting better, starting out with a spiced up intro it melds into a build similar to the original. The first drop comes in heavy and is guaranteed to set dancefloors on fire. The track chills out for a second to bring in some more vocals, before getting heavy once again. From there we encounter a beautiful melodic build then get hit with a freshly tweaked drop. The remix builds once more before dropping into a club influenced final section, built upon heavy kicks and ample bed squeaks. No matter what genre of music you frequent, you’re sure to enjoy this. It’s only been out for a few hours but considering the quality and star power on this, I expect it to be the 2014 version of the Calvin Harris Ft. Florence Welch – Sweet Nothing (Diplo & Grandtheft Remix). Only time will tell. Stream below and download on iTunes.
