Scottish DJ/producer Calvin Harris has announced the release details and features list for his brand new album today. The album will be titled Funk Wav Bounces Vol.1 (seriously), and will be released on June 30, as the follow up to 2014’s Motion.
Earlier in the year, Harris had tweeted that he had “worked with the greatest artists of our generation !!!” on the LP, and today the full, extensive list of artists has been revealed.

There has been no confirmation as of yet as to whether there will be a Funk Wav Bounces Vol.2, or indeed if there is a Funk Wav Bounce anthology in the works, but the hype is already building, as Calvin Harris continues his one man mission to dominate the airwaves for the summer.
