Unfortunately for anyone who’d wanted to catch Scotland’s Calvin Harris on his North American DJ tour, he got sick midway through and had to cancel the rest of his dates. If you’re interested, you can watch the drama unfold on Twitter as the disease takes over his body—he goes from “feeling really bad” to “just got up to answer the phone and almost passed out” to “back in the U.K. after my disastrous U.S. tour attempt,” all sandwiched between giddy excitement over Tiesto remixing his newest track and the effect of antibiotics on specific bodily functions.

Anyway, we were lucky enough to catch his first night of his tour at Webster Hall in New York City and can attest that it was off the charts, with Harris spinning a number of his own tried-and-true dance hits (including “Acceptable in the 80s,” “The Girls,” his Ting Tings’ “Great DJ” remix) and keeping a crowd of smashed partiers shaking on a cold Friday night.

The aforementioned new track is called “I’m Not Alone.” It’s a poppy dance gem, and we’re expecting that it—or the Tiesto, Deadmau5, or Herve remix versions—will carry us into the summer.
