What is awesome more than anything is, this lad is grounded, down to earth, no crap, no bullshit - no faux american accent. This is what is class about the guy. He doesn't put any airs and graces on for anyone. He lives his passion and loves his art.
I know the EDM Community is going to shit on me for this opinion. But I think that Calvin Harris is one of the best EDM Producers of the past 30 Years. I'd put him up there with Porter Robinson, Deadmau5, Eric Prydz, Daft Punk, Mark Ronson etc, and I'l tell you why. He is one of the only major mainstream artists, who I am very confident doesn't use Ghost Producers, and if you manage to retain such success in the Charts while still producing all of your own work, and mixing most of your own work, I have respect for you. Now, that opinion is going to really upset the EDM Community who are going to call me basic AF but I stand by my opinion.
no hate to you, but most of the people in your concept of the "EDM community" would not dislike your opinion. most of us look up to Calvin Harris, (and others) for his production methods, humility, personality, and music
Absolutely fucking agree. Also as a Scottish guy myself i couldn’t be more proud of our man Calvin. He really doesn’t slack when it comes to making great records.
Love the way they call this a "home studio". Everything about this studio, from the mixing desk, the acoustic treatment, the many instruments encompassing acoustic, current & vintage electronic etc. are super expensive professional quality. Even the furniture is super comfy designer stuff. He's come along way from leaving his instruments & hardware on the floor in the Equipboard video.
Love to see a marimba and steel drum in Calvin's studio. I played both those instruments in high school band (it was a steel drum band, not your typical brass instrument, HS band.) for 3 years. Some people may not realize that even though things are done on stage with machines, in "electronic music" (a broad term) many sound samples are still recorded from live instruments...nothing beats the timbre of a real steel drum or Brazilian Rosewood marimba, played with mallets or sticks. The same as nothing beats an original Minimoog Model D, when it comes to reproducing it's unique sound properties. Also, I love how excited he gets when he talks about playing his music live and how that's how he quantifies musical success - the volume change in his voice, alone, is noticeable. He loves what he does and he does it well.
6:35 the Decks... the only thing i want to see.... im just to addicted to it.... i made a dj deck outta lego... idy but it just makes me tooo happy use 1......
I feel really bad cause I've always thought he was a douchebag without even having seen an interview with him and now I can see he's a real solid down to earth dude.
Wizard Venom I only like 4 of the pre 2011 songs. Acceptable in the 80s, The Girls, ready for the weekend, I'm not alone. The rest of them sound quite shit but so many of his 2011 and after songs are so fucking good imo
Tips for the perfect Scottish accent: 1. Pronounce every sentence as if it ended with a question mark. E.g. My name is Calvin(?), I live in L.A(?). 2. Short \i\'s are \e\'s. E.g. different = defferent, big = beg, chillin' = chellen' etc.
The first one is wrong, it's not a question-like intonation, you have to stress the last syllable just a little, when we make a question our intonation is different
Why is that a shock? He's a producer mainly but he sings occasionally. For the most part, people sing in a standard accent. But they could be from anywhere. It's really not that much of a shock
He doesn't need to show off his music speaks for itself. As for designer clothes why bother it's about comfort not what label you have on it. Do what makes you feel good.
He is SO chill
He a capricorn😂

With his multi million dollar mansion, table tennis table, ridiculous home studio...yeah he's a real 'down to earth' guy..! lol
CEWIIH very silly comment. He wasn't handed all this on a plate. He worked his ass off made it himself. Daddy didn't buy him his house.
No, just comparing him to people out there who are not as described. Look at the number of shit DJ's out there trying to be something they are not.
+darth vader rude ass bitch
Salman Chaudhry it's called having a dream.
I love how genuine Calvin is AND I absolutely love This Is What You Came For. 🎶
Br ynn pls don't ruin the song. That pun was really cringy. 😐
Just kidding
You got tricked
Br ynn i
I feel like Calvin Harris a low key savage
i was watching and had a similar thought.
wut
wut
what does low key savage mean?
How can you be low-key if you're a savage?
This guy dresses so simple, makes you wonder what goes on in his head, he makes you pay attention with his simplicity....amazing
I love how much Calvin is just a normal dour Scottish person like myself 😅😅
Thomas O'Neill Same here!
Same lol #scotland
Ikr! That's one of the reasons why I love him as a person. He always seems so chill and humble. I'd love to meet him one day
Same reason I like him I like how he hasn’t lost his accent and is from the same place as me
He sounded a bit like a 'humble brag' and a bit dismissive to Grimmy, but then again, I'm not Scottish so what do I know?
Adam seems like a very genuine, chill, level headed guy. And he makes such great music.
This bloke really knows how to make a track.
+Coolj0124 lmao bloke ah the english slang
You are so right no offense but to me so much Dance-Pop sounds identical his music is distinctively Calvin!
Is this the Scottish accent? So calming and I could just sleep listening to this.
Yes
Same 😍😍😍
not as strong as glasweigan
+Mark Ryan Ordinario Well I'll tell ye yer behaviour last night wis shockin' eehhhhhhh
lets hope you dont here a deep Scottish accent because you want be sleeping lol
i never knew that he was scottish and had an accent, i probably would have never if i didn't watch this
totally agree
Same
He looks like Ryan Gosling's older brother
But ryan gostling is older
Calvin is perfect 💕 and his house is beautiful!!!!
Loved this. One of the best interviews ever, so chill and I love how Grimmy just makes everyone seem so comfortable with him.
We found love was literally 2 chords and such a smash. Shouts out Calvin
4 chords actually
LOL "let me read my script" 😂😂😂 literally he's adorableeee 😍😍😍🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️
Finally and interview that focuses on an artists work, and music instead of who they're dating or other personal stuff!!!
He’s so ADORABLE!!!!

That's true. He's one of the most talented EDM artists ever .

@Vote for the Conservatives did I say it wasn't? I'm just saying the equipment is beyond home studio quality

Living the dream! such an awesome studio...
His accent is so relaxing.

❤❤❤❤ calvins voice! I love it
Would love it if you continue this series...the best thing i ever saw on TH-cam❤️
wait he's scottish? i always assumed he was from london the song 80's he done he sounds like a londoner.
mrtibbz10 Yeah he's from Dumfries.
the unfortunate consequence of having a scottish accent is that youre made to sound bored at everything
Madlad Junoir can confirm, I have a Scottish accent and always sound bored also
Yup. I like to call it the Andy Murray effect
Haha nice!
Linn Dosher Except Murray lost his scottish accent...or never had one for some reason...
mark he does have an accent
thats a beautiful marimba calvin's got in his studio 👍
Calvin is perfect. 😍
First time I've heard him talk. Never knew he was Scottish
He keeps himself to himself.
racist!

Where did you think he was from
@@SanClaro u r
6:35 the Decks... the only thing i want to see.... im just to addicted to it.... i made a dj deck outta lego... idy but it just makes me tooo happy use 1......

Why not just drop in for a cuppa! No need to call ahead! Kelvin.
Calvin Harris Grammy wall looks inspiring.
i’m so happy that someone like him is from scotland like me:)
Calvin Harris is my favorite DJ
Been listening to his songs for a while now but it's my first time to actually hear him speak. #DJProblems
Calvin is bae i love him
i like it how the sample for the track in this video is of a superior quality
I feel really bad cause I've always thought he was a douchebag without even having seen an interview with him and now I can see he's a real solid down to earth dude.
how can he not miss irn bru or rolls and square sausages?
He's got a bunker full of it under his house
Mate I forget square sausages existed
Love Calvin Harris, Fan Forever!!!
he is a charismatic guy, you get the sense he holds back a bit for the cameras, he was a lot more flamboyant when younger.
Thumbs up if you think Calvin Harris should sing on his next track
Funny thing about it is that he actually did sing on his "next" song, My Way.
just a shame my way is shit...I want his old stuff like I am not alone, and his 80s style electro pop music
He must have read my comment :p
Adrian Morton he sang summer
Wizard Venom I only like 4 of the pre 2011 songs. Acceptable in the 80s, The Girls, ready for the weekend, I'm not alone. The rest of them sound quite shit but so many of his 2011 and after songs are so fucking good imo
Very wise man, ultimately talented and lovely
amazing!! I'm from korean. I'm a big fan🎧😄 anywhere I listen to calvin harris song because I like EDM♥♥
He is talented balanced beautiful person. I'm glad he changed for better. Someone who isn't invest in themselves isn't rich.
"straight up past the tree... should be able to get an Uber" Class act Calvin... absolute Geeza.
Such a cool studio
Goodness I love his voice, forgot he was Scottish for a minute before I watched this
That feeling when the interviewer literally came for this is what you came for
He's 6"6 💪
such a mature celebrity, for sure will be one of the greats
All his songs are fire. Best DJ ever hands down.
CALVIN HARRIS - SORRY, ADAM RICHARD WILES - YOUR FIRST TWO ALBUMS MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME.
Love getting those 2010 vibes
Calvin Harris iz ♥
love how calvin harris is unapologetically scottish
Should he be apologising?
@@casecurityandelec ikr😂
what does that even mean?
His voice can be amazing for meditation !
Great interview, hilarious ending!
The days of the milk float when cream was in the top of the bottle!!! That was nice!!!
HOLY SHIT he watches limmy. I'm in love.
Dont let any of this mislead you from the fact that I'm Not Alone is arguably his best track.
Aaaaaw my Calvin is so cutie 😍
-He's got amazing tunes coming up
-Yeah?
-Yeah, cause I made them
SAVAGE
Nick Grimshaw looks like Jimmy Neutron
top DJ with A CLASS MARVELOUS studio///// My ol tym Fuckng fav...
Lol is the ending real?....lol it’s funny...
17:00 Seems like Ellie finished the hook and it sounds like a Miracle 🎶🎧🎶 😉

The first one is wrong, it's not a question-like intonation, you have to stress the last syllable just a little, when we make a question our intonation is different
Couldn't be more wrong if you tried, we don't pronounce our i's like e's
What the hell? We don’t talk like we are answering a question 😆
Oh yeah!!! I wish it was a movie!!!
Loved the interview 👌
I'm not gay but damn
Luiz Las Casas LMAOO

He´s Scottish?!
+Annijoda yes
+Annijoda it was a shock to me too! lol
+Annijoda he's from dumfries
Why is that a shock? He's a producer mainly but he sings occasionally. For the most part, people sing in a standard accent. But they could be from anywhere. It's really not that much of a shock
Yaa
LOL!!!!! I love Calvin Harris so much!!!!
"She's in the moment" xP
Calvin 😍❤️
Just wanna live there .. now
He's so nice! Rihanna's voice is like any other woman's voice.
I'm drooling at his music studio
that outro was hilarious
Humble guy doesn't do all the bullshit look at me stuff, a good looking gentleman and an absolute baller
that accent! Holy Jesus
i want him!!! hah
His accent got me dying . . So sexy
He is so handsome 😍
14:52 , who's fucking feet are those?

God those keyboards, Fender Rhodes, Wave PPG.. yum yum slurp slurp
I wish I could marry him. He is so humble.
I'm jealous of his success
I trust your honesty!!!
'JML at one am' CALVIN IS ME. WTH.
This guy is a genius
brüno meets calvin harris
He doesn't need to show off his music speaks for itself. As for designer clothes why bother it's about comfort not what label you have on it. Do what makes you feel good.
Calvin!!!
the trainer helping them was all like young fit new Hampshire!!!

Maybe I would use those!!!
