Calvin Harris has announced his debut record for Defected, ‘Live Without Your Love’.

Last month, Defected shared a letter that head honcho Simon Dunmore had penned to Harris in 1999, in response to a demo CD the then 15-year-old Scottish producer had sent to the label.

Now, 21 years later, Harris will make his debut on Defected alongside The Internet’s Steve Lacy, with new track ‘Live Without Your Love’. 

Speaking about the track, Simon Dunmore said: “I heard ‘Live Without Your Love’, reached out and our discussions led to our involvement on the project. I am all about long term relationships and the fact that Calvin remembers our first exchanges says so much to me, and clearly demonstrates that first impressions are lasting impressions.”
