1. Calvin Harris
Apparently there are some people (read: Americans) who think Calvin Harris emerged fully-formed in 2012 dropping EDM bangers for gurning Vegas stag parties. In fact his ascent to underwear-modelling, rich list-topping, Taylor Swift-dating success began in 2007 with the electro nightmare of ‘Acceptable in the ’80s’. If only nu-rave hadn't softened the public up for kitsch retro party music, the track might not have charted at all, and today Adam Wiles would just be a failed DJ with a shit stage name.
