Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum selling artist and heavyweight producer Calvin Harris will be making his Defected Records debut with the release of \u2018Live Without Your Love\u2019 on 11th<\/sup>\u00a0June 2020, available to pre-order now. The upcoming new single with Grammy-nominated musician and producer\u00a0Steve Lacy is the outcome of a long-held ambition for Calvin, whose love and respect for the UK house music label goes back over twenty years.<\/p>\n

As a young and determined teen making music in his bedroom at age\u00a015, Adam (aka Calvin) sent CD demos to Defected boss Simon Dunmore, like many budding producers who dreamt of being discovered by the best in the business. He received\u00a0in return first a handwritten\u00a0note, which read:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m returning your CD but would like you to know that this is far superior to many of the demos we regularly receive.\u201d Then came a merch package with a note saying,\u00a0\u201cKeep faith in yourself. I am sure we will do\u00a0something together.\u201d\u00a0Finally came a personal phone call from the A&R man and label head. Simon remembers the phone call well, saying that he disturbed Calvin while he was watching Neighbours, eating his dinner in front of the TV. Simon explained that he wanted to thank him for the demos he\u2019d been sending and offered him further encouragement.<\/p>\n

Years later, when Calvin\u2019s stardom had been realized on a global scale, he was introduced to Simon at Pacha nightclub in Ibiza, recalling the phone call to him and prompting a reconnection between the two. Since then the mutual respect blossomed, with Calvin occasionally reaching out to Simon for remixing advice, sharing industry insights, and to support Defected Records in DJ sets, radio shows, or playlists. Fast-forward to 2020 during COVID-19 induced lockdowns around the world. Like many DJs, Calvin\u00a0took to live streams to try out new music and the keen ears inside Defected\u2019s A&R department picked up on an unreleased tune in one of his sets. That record was \u2018Live Without Your Love\u2019. In turn, Calvin made a surprise appearance at Defected\u2019s monumental\u00a0Virtual Festival series in April, bringing the relationship full circle in an organic and suitably innovative way.<\/p>\n

Simon Dunmore added: \u201cCalvin Harris and I have long-standing mutual respect that goes back 20 years when he initially submitted some of his early demos to Defected. I heard \u2018Live Without Your Love\u2019, reached out and our discussions led to our involvement on the project. I am all about long term relationships and the fact that Calvin remembers our first exchanges says so much to me, and clearly demonstrates that first impressions are lasting impressions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The record sees Calvin at his most intuitive and rave-inclined, with club-ready, penetrating stabs softened by Steve Lacy\u2019s drawl and plenty of acidic synth.<\/p>\n

\u2018Live Without Your Love\u2019 will be out on June 11th via Defected\/Columbia Records, and is available for pre-order and pre-save now:\u00a0livewithoutyourlove.com<\/strong><\/a>
