Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding’s smash hit collaboration “Need Your Love” got picked up by Dutch producer/DJ Kevin van Veelen, or Dem Slackers. He’s transformed the sticky sweet radio-friendly hit into a veritable club anthem with quite a grimy electro breakdown and although this is only a bootleg it stands strong against other more official versions like Nicky Romero’s remix.

“I’ll never dance, sing or be an ultimate musical legend & icon like MJ,” Calvin Harris tweeted after surpassing the king of pop in the record books. Dancing and singing aside, Calvin has broken Michael Jackson’s UK chart record for most Top Ten hits to come from one album, squeezing 18 Months past Bad. “I Need Your Love” cracked the top ten this weekend, becoming Calvin’s eighth chart-topping single off his latest album, becoming the first to do so following efforts such as “We Found Love,” “Sweet Nothing,” and “Let’s Go.”

Officially making the cutest fake couple in the music biz, Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris released video for ubiquitous hit “I Need Your Love” coming off Calvin’s 18 Months album. Intimate bedroom shots, aerial helicopter views of South Beach hot spots and a LIV Miami cameo take center stage as the two show off how desperately in love they are. It would be interesting to see Skrillex’ reaction to see his former beau getting cozy with the Scotsman, a dance music love triangle I sort of wish was real.
Dutch house young-bloods Firebeatz have quickly become one of their nation’s most topical newcomers to date. Ahead of their forthcoming collaboration with Bobby Burns, the duo drops “Yeahhhh” for Calvin Harris’s Fly Eye Records. In the same high-octane vein as Spinnin Records predecessor, “Gangster,” the track deals in gritty low-end electro house to the avail of another landmark for the fresh-faced duo and their consistent industry ascent for 2013.

Six years ago after being discovered on MySpace by Tommie Sunshine, Adam Wiles — real name Calvin Harris – went on to sign a contract with Columbia Records, spurring his debut album, I Created Disco. “Acceptable in the 80s” was released as the album’s second single and peaked at the #10 position on the UK singles chart, heralding the young Dumfries, Scotland native as a beckoning force within dance music.

Calvin went on to record two songs for Kylie Minogue’s X album, “In My Arms” and “Heart Beat Rock,” after successfully entrapping her attention with this single.
