Florence And The Machine have revealed that they have been in the process of working on dance music under a secret alias.

The group announced they set up a dance outfit under the not-so creative name ‘Side Project’ and have already recorded a number of house tracks.

‘We actually have a dance outfit side project called Side Project. We made this weird house track that sounds quite churchy- to be confirmed! As yet it has never seen the light of day’ Florence Welch told Digital Spy.

Florence went onto discuss her views of Calvin Harris and his recent reworked version of Spectrum saying ‘I’m such a huge fan of his. What I enjoy about Calvin’s songs is that he has that blend of euphoric and melancholic which as an artist he has managed to perfect.’

Florence’s described her admiration for the Scottish producer and his work as ‘that mix of catchy and sad- that feeling of complete joy but something tugging at your insides. That’s what makes a great pop song and I really think he’s coined that’.

Florence And The Machine released a live album earlier this year and are playing at T In The Park next month.
