Calvin Harris has admitted that he 'just wants to make good music' as he looks to take a new direction in his career as a super producer.
The Scottish DJ recently became the first artist to gain eight Top 10 singles from the same album as his platinum selling record 18 Months included tracks such as 'Sweet Nothing' and the Rihanna featuring 'We Found Love'.
Harris has also just been awarded with the Ivor Novello Songwriter of the Year Award which he claimed was 'the greatest achievement' of his life to date, but now wants to focus on creating good dance music rather than trying to churn out hit after hit.
He told MusicWeek: "I'm doing more dance music that probably won't get into the charts. I was in the studio yesterday. I just want to make good music; this award is like drawing a line under the past two years where I've just been intensely f**king working to try and make singles and hit records."

In the 60 years of the Official Charts, Harris is the first artist to ever achieve eight Top 10 hits from one studio album - in this case, his album 18 Months, which spent two weeks at No. 1 itself and ten weeks in the Top 10 album chart.
Last year, Harris compared his talent as a producer to making a ham sandwich. Speaking about his writing process, he said: "It's incredibly easy to do, but hard to do perfectly. I'd struggle to make a perfect ham sandwich because I never make them, whereas pop music comes naturally to me - it's what I do every day."
