This. over and over and over, Most people will be going to see calvin harris because they know his pop songs, pretty sure the 90% would be dissapointed if they never got a sing-a-long to his number one album. p.s most times ive seen calvin he has mashed his own tunes up with other drops, when i seen him last year he dropped the R3hab remix of bounce.

He's DJ first, producer second I guess but he does both incredibly well. If you like Calvin Harris music then I guess you would have the same opinion about his DJing and his producing. Im no fan of Calvin Harris but his remix of Passion Pit - The Reeling is a winner of a tune (if you like Indie/Dance). Ive seen him DJ and play live a few times. Most memorable thing about him is that he is very tall (everyone is to me, yeah I know) but i'm guessing that Calvin Harris is the new Deadmau5 or Skrillex on this community .

Hunter Renslow 13.09.2013	Something fishy about this going viral around the time of the dj mag top 100!
Olin Easley 13.09.2013	I believe b1sh0p was referring to drum n bass, there's no need to point out other DJs. :P

Sonja Roybal 12.09.2013	I've seen Shadow do sets where he plays 90% of his own shit with a little dnb thrown in. As far as Roni Size, it's pretty common for dnb dj's to play a lot of their own tunes. Roni Size can't mix to save his life though tbh. Generally, dnb is producer driven. The only famous dj's that are known for dj'ing over their production are Andy C, Randall, Fierce and Dieselboy.

Edwardo Rothenberger 07.09.2013	That video shows he has difficulty singing in tune. I believe Calvin playing his bog standard chart tracks in his DJ sets perhaps signifies a laziness, apathy, and ego. Not bothering to bring a creativity to his set. He must be mind numbingly bored of his 3 note cheesy synth-line tunes by now. At least live on stage they can add something new to the tracks.

I don't give a shit how bad of a week he had. He's being paid thousands of dollars to play records for a couple hours. If the bitch is hurting your feelings, have her bounced. Don't stop the music, cry and create a scene. For fucks sake.

Johnsie Kingrea 03.09.2013	Originally Posted by iambiggles What an embarrassing prima donna. Looks like her criticism struck a little too close to home. Honestly, if he cant take a bit of heckling from a crowd, he should probably just stay behind the mixing desk rather than go out live. This is the difference between a pop performer and a real DJ. Total tool. While it might not have been acceptable to call her a b**** and remove her from the club it's also really disrespectful and ignorant on that girls part to make comments like that. I don't know where people get off believeing just because they've paid money and are wasted that they can get away with saying whatever they want. If she's unhappy with the performance then she could've left and went to another club. I believe it's ridiculous that anyone gets away with heckling a DJ or any performer for that matter. When you go to any form of entertainment you are paying for the act to put on a show, more specifically "their show." You're not going to go up to a comedian and say "how unoriginal, tell a different joke, or tell this joke" or go up to The Beatles and say "I don't like your stuff play Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys." I wish all DJ's had the power to do this, then maybe people would believe twice before heckling, just like at a comedy club. There's no way in hell i'd consider heckling the comedian for fear that they'll humiliate the hell out of me and likely be applauded for doing so.

Belen Wermes 03.09.2013	sometimes it takes a community to raise a child. if that girl wants to act like a child who wasn't raised right, how are you gonna hate on Calvin Harris for stepping up to father the shit out of her obnoxious drunk ass.

Doesn't the whole concept of a dj fall apart if he just plays his own music? The whole concept of watching a dj sit on stage and twist some knobs blows my mind. I don't know much about this guy, but he's definitely a douche. If you're being heckled to the point that you can't play, point the person out to security and have them removed. Don't stop the music and create a scene.
Hank Guidas 03.09.2013	Can someone tell me the idea behind a dj touring and playing his own music on cdjs? Why not do a live-act then? Doesn't the whole concept of a dj fall apart if he just plays his own music?
Chet Gatts 03.09.2013	It was a douchey move. But hes the highest paid DJ/Producer and you kind of expect the money to get to his head. Is it unoriginal that he played his own music? Um they are there to see him play his music right? And telling him he is unoriginal is crap. He produced/built the track and its made him Millions. Unoriginal? No. Stopping the music to call out some random broad who paid to be there and then kicking her out is BS and really unprofessional. But again he's a millionaire superstar and his ego is probably larger than all the clubs combined in Miami.
Rita Debar 02.09.2013	Weather you agree or disagree with him, that was as unprofessional as you can get. And having her removed form the club just shows how insecure he is. I'm sure he was paid plenty to do the gig. Suck it up and do what you were paid to do. Your no better than anyone else. Like his music but he will lose fans over his lack of professionalism. Calvin not a boss.
Jonathan Chiuchiolo 01.09.2013	Originally Posted by Dohjo Not the same at all. If it's a DJ set, then his set shouldn't consist of more than 20 % of his own tracks I'm pretty sure that's your opinion, there's no rule saying that, and if I were seeing a dj set of my favorite producer I would expect about 60% of their tracks and 40% of the sounds that are influencing them or their label mates.
Kristofer Krauel 01.09.2013	Originally Posted by loverocket he's not a DJ. He's a producer/EDM star. The difference is clear in the video. Hence why he plays a lot of his own tracks. Same with Deadmau5. Harris became a DJ to showcase his own music. Producer first, DJ second. (actually he's a pop star first and foremost).
