Timeline

1980

The album contained uptempo electroclash songs that were influenced by music from the 1980s.

The song, "Vegas", was issued on limited edition vinyl.

1984

Adam Richard Wiles (born 17 January 1984), known professionally as Calvin Harris, is a Scottish DJ, record producer, singer, and songwriter.

Adam Richard Wiles was born on 17 January 1984 in Dumfries, to English parents, a biochemist father, and housewife mother, who married in their native Oxford before moving to Dumfries.

He has an elder sister and brother.

Wiles attended Calside Primary School then Dumfries High School, and, after leaving school, he stocked shelves in supermarkets and worked in a local fish processing factory to buy DJ gear.

1999

He was first attracted to electronic music in his teens and began recording bedroom demos in 1999.

When Harris was 18, he released two songs, "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days".

2002

Both were released as 12-inch club singles and CD-EPs by the label Prima Facie in early 2002 under the name "Stouffer".

With these singles to his credit, Harris moved from Scotland to London, hoping to learn from the local music scene.

2004

Only one of his songs, "Let Me Know" with vocalist Ayah Marar on the Unabombers' 2004 live-mix CD Electric Soul, Vol. 2, was released during his time in London.

With the lack of job opportunities and money, he returned home to Dumfries and began posting homemade solo recordings to his Myspace page.

His popularity on the social media website prompted Mark Gillespie, a talent booker for the dance-festival firm Global Gathering who had recently founded his own management firm, to make Harris the company's first signee.

Gillespie continues to represent Harris today.

Regarding his choice of his stage name, Harris stated that, "My first single was more of a soul track, and I thought Calvin Harris sounded a bit more racially ambiguous. I thought people might not know if I was black or not. After that, I was stuck with it."

2006

Harris signed contracts with Three Six Zero Group (management), EMI (publishing), and Sony BMG (recording) in 2006 after he had been discovered on the social networking website Myspace.

Later in 2006, Harris produced a remix of All Saints' single "Rock Steady".

He started working on the album in 2006 after he moved back from living in London to his hometown of Dumfries.

All 14 tracks were written, produced, and performed solely by Harris, and all recording and producing for the album took place on an Amiga computer.

To promote I Created Disco, Harris embarked on a tour of the UK, supporting Faithless and Groove Armada.

I Created Disco was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
