Careful not to mistake Calvin Harris for being an “EDM” producer. In a recent Q&A over Twitter, the 34-year-old Scots DJ/producer took some time to engage with fans over the trajectory of his music and the state of “EDM” on the whole.

But Harris will always have a special place in his heart for the line of house music which catapulted him to global fame.

Harris was also extremely candid with with fans on being a self-taught musician, his plans to return to the festival circuit, and simply reminding them that his time away was due to his FunkWav studio project.
