Unknown Scottish songwriter Calvin Harris writing with Kylie Minogue

Scottish DJ Calvin Harris is working with Kylie Minogue after she heard tracks on his MySpace, and he has signed to SonyBMG ahead of a single and Faithless support dates.

An unknown Scottish songwriter is working with Kylie Minogue after tracks on his MySpace were brought to the pop star's attention. Calvin Harris, 23, a DJ and former shelf stacker, has built up a large following using the networking site, despite having his demo tapes ignored by record companies for years. A spokesman for Kylie said: "She has been working on some tracks with Calvin. Kylie heard stuff he'd done and liked it. Things are going well".

Meanwhile, Harris has now signed to SonyBMG and is set to release his own debut single, 'Acceptable In The 80s', next month. He will also support Faithless on their upcoming UK tour dates.
