I just heard this song and it's clear the Prince sound is
in it.The song is about the 80's,so we can't blame him

BTW, every Calvin Harris track I've heard so far has been THE CHASE.

So I'm beyond excited to pick up his album I Created Disco in June.

It seems like FOREVER. All tracks I'm hearing off of it are the hotness.

Yep, he's deffo used the Linn machine for this track - you can hear it real good on the extended mix!

Sounds like he's used a cheeky short sample from "Computer Blue".

I haven't heard anything else from him,but if U say it's all good,
I will sure check out his other songs.
Really love this song

There are LOADS of tunes in the dance music market at the moment with Princes influence there is a video I caught the end of with the drummer and bass player of the girl group The Like and that song just sounded like a Prince tune circa 82-84

Im surprised no one has pointed this song out...to me the song that most resembles Prince at the mo is...

There's so much stuff that has a Prince influence to it. Every time I go on myspace and look up an indie act it seems Prince's name is usually mentioned somewhere. Along with Daft Punk.



Great song. It was actually mentioned in page 3 of this thread --> http://www.prince.org/msg/8/217239

No prob.

That song sounds really promising. I'd like to check it out if you can figure out the title.

Speaking of Groove Armada, I take it you've heard Calvin's remix of their new single.
