Like the worst of friends as soon as he met a new girl (in this instance, Kylie Minogue) Calvin Harris stopped releasing decent singles ('Acceptable In The 80s', 'The Girls') and started releasing rubbish singles ('Merrymaking At My House', 'Colours').This obviously opens up a slot in the music world for The New Calvin Harris and should anyone fill that not-necessarily desirable gap, there's no reason why it shouldn't be Primary 1.
Making a mockery of Harris' wizened 23 years of age, Primary 1 (AKA Joe Flory) is a 21 year old producer from London with an almost unhealthy interest in lions and a most definitely unhealthy interest in making amazing electrodancepop music.
The original mix of his new single 'Hold Me Down' is an attitude packed disco funk track, but has been reworked by typically genius French remixer Yuksek to become something altogether more gigantic and an early anthem for 2008.
The single is released on 28th January but in the meantime we recommend checking out the tracks Primary 1's MySpace page. 'Outside' sounds like Hot Chip revisiting the very early days of electro, his remix of the quite spectacular Operator Please 'Leave It Alone' single makes a oriental monster out of the guitar-pop original while his reworking of Mutya's 'Real Girl' proves that polishing turds is not totally impossible.
We like. A lot.
