Grouped in with other “MySpace Generation” and blogger-supported buzz acts like Lily Allen, Klaxons and Kate Nash, 23-year-old Calvin Harris is formally getting into the game on September 4 with the release of his debut effort, I Created Disco (Almost Gold Recordings). Boasting his widely beloved hit “Acceptable in the 80’s,” and the ridiculously smoove “Merrymaking at My House,”  I Created Disco is enough badass, club-banging, funked-up boogie for even the most wallflowering hipster, and Lord knows hipsters love to dance. Don’t they? Dance, hipster, dance! The rest of us, however, will gladly, happily bob our heads and bust off some poppin fresh dance moves with respect to the rising, self-described “hate figure for parents” Mr. Harris.

After the jump, two US tour dates, and how to throw your own Calvin Harris party!
