CALVIN HARRIS DJ Set
Calvin Harris invented disco. No, Calvin Harris reinvented disco, a cult producer-slash-singer-slash-bedroom-knob-twiddler slash DJ who can make the banging-est of pop-dance tunes out of bugger-all kit. Calvin Harris will make you jump around like a silly-billy - the slamming likes of 'The Girls' and “Acceptable in the 80’s” plus  his own style of infective disco madness will meet you on the dance floor  at Summadayze.

UTAH SAINTS
Displaying the crossover traits that made the Utah Saints such a formidable force, Utah Saints’ recent release, ‘Something Good 08’ (Van She Tech Remix), is the biggest dance record of 2008 so far… Already receiving heavy daytime plays on Radio 1 from the likes of Jo Whiley and Pete Tong, who’ve named it ‘Hottest Record In The World’ and ‘Essential New Tune’ respectively.  Having sold over 6 million records to date, recorded with the likes of REM’s Michael Stipe, and performed with U2 and others on mega-stadium tours, Utah Saints remain one of the most trail-blazing outfits within electronic music.
