Calvin Harris shows off his jaw-dropping studio

Best of 2019: It seems that, if you’re Calvin Harris, there’s no piece of gear that you can’t get your hands on - even Apple’s new Mac Pro well before it was released.

Harris was was all over Instagram this weekend, posting a series of videos showcasing what we assume to be his amazing studio and revealing new music. One of these, which you can watch above, clearly features the newly-designed Mac Pro.

One would assume that Harris was one of a number of high-profile creatives who’ve got early access to the new machine. It’s demanding professionals, after all, who represent Apple’s target market for the new super-computer.

Harris’s Instagram splurge also confirms that he’s an avid synth collector - check out the line-up of instruments in the video below - and that at least some of his new music has a distinctly acid housey vibe to it. You can hear a suitably squelchy bassline, and there’s even a smiley face hanging on the wall.

As such, we wonder if Harris might soon be getting his hands on Behringer’s TD-3? As one of the biggest electronic music producers in the world, we’re sure he could swing a pre-release version of that as well...
