Calvin rhythms.

It's time to get back to Europe and once again to scottish lands, but this time with a different music genre, something a bit more monotonous but perfect to dance and have a good time.

Let me introduce you, if you don't know him, to Calvin Harris, a 27 years old singer, writer, producer and DJ (something else ?) borned in the lovely Scotland.

His career started in 1999, but his fame and first record were a fact in 2007. It was called "I Created Disco", very original... but the important things are the tracks inside it like "The Girls" and "Acceptable in the 80s" that reached some of the top positions in UK Singles Chart.

On 2009 was released his second album titled "Ready for the Weekend". The album was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry on October of that year for sales of 100,000 copies, not bad for a young and quite new artist.

In a short time he has recorded with artists like Kylie Minogue and DJ Tiesto, and has gained a good position in the world rankings, so I think he's got a great future in the music.

Let's hear some of his tracks:

Here we got "Bounce", his last single from his upcoming third album. It was digitally released a few days ago and is already on the top of the downloads. This is a very catchy song in which Calvis works with Kelis so he doesn't sing, just mixes in the back. 

And the best for last. This song is from "Ready for the Weekend" and was the first one I heard from Harris. I think is very energetic and I hope you enjoy it sometime, especially in a party or something like that... so here is "Flashback". Cheers.

A bit of scottish taste.

Last time was a british group, and now is the scottish turn to show us how awesome is Europe and yes, I'm a big fan of the old continent stuff.
With an historical and catchy name, Franz Ferdinand is now one of the greatest indie/rock exponents.

Alex Kapranos in the lead vocals and guitar, Bob Hardy in the bass guitar, Nick McCarthy hitting the keyboard and Paul Thomson at the drums are the soul of this band formed at the beginnings of this millenium in the city of Glasgow, Scotland.

With just three records and other in process coming soon, this alternative band give us some really good tracks that have positioned them in the top of the world rankings, and have make them winners of many awards, good deserved by the way. 
Let's hear some of them that I'm pretty sure you'll like.

"The Fallen" is one of my favourites. Extracted from his second album "You Could Have It So much Better" it's a very funny and fast song, with lots of Jesus references mate !

And the song that opened the gates of fame for them just couldn't be absent of this post, so here is "Take Me Out" from his first studio work to close it with a golden mark. Cheers for that.
