EDC 2012: Calvin Harris Plays CDs of Himself Singing

Dance music has always been horribly under/misrepresented in the mainstream, leading to mass ignorance and watering down of its long history and diverse culture. Kids today grow up believing Daft Punk created house music and Skrillex created dubstep (many others still just call everything "techno"). The epitome of the "EDM" experience is to wear the sluttiest, tackiest candy raver outfit imaginable and roll your face off while being blasted with shrill, soulless, fist-pumping electro-noise at a corporate-sponsored festival or arena-sized megaclub. I endured my share of diva house and anthem trance on the radio in the 90s, but the rate at which the music and fans have been commercially exploited just these past few years is absolutely sickening. It won't be too long before the next crappy trend arrives and this one finally implodes under its own bloated weight.

put real dj on the decks???    whats a "real " dj ??? please explain .. why should there be some kind of divide on pop ,dance music ,rock etc ... ? an artist expresses his music the way they want ... end of story .

I disagree with this article in the sense that Calvin Harris did not blow up big as DJ or a singer, but rather a PRODUCER/remixer who started to experiment and sing on his own tracks.
