Love Regenerator

Scottish dance music juggernaut Calvin Harris launched the Love Regenerator project in 2020 as an outlet for his more nostalgic acid house sensibilities. • Love Regenerator arrived with gusto in early 2020, dropping the EP Love Regenerator 1, featuring two original offerings and four frenetic, break-heavy cuts in total. • Harris followed the initial EP with two more—Love Regenerator 2 and Love Regenerator 3—before collaborating with modern house hero Eli Brown on the 2020 EP Moving. • Offering a break from Harris’ pop anthems, Love Regenerator evokes the lesser-known depths of the electronic music world. It’s music for dimly lit raves, not sports arenas. • Harris kept the love alive throughout 2020, putting on widely attended livestreams filled with his favorite tracks of the moment. • In launching the Love Regenerator alias, the DJ and producer born Adam Wiles admitted that he’d begun to attach “negative connotations” to the name Calvin Harris. With the new project, he hoped to “shepherd in a new little thing”.
