Back in January, EDM Sauce reported that HBO was developing a half-hour sitcom about EDM and was being written by Jay Z, Will Smith and Calvin Harris. This worried many longtime EDM fans as they believe this sitcom will ruin the scene.
Irvine Welsh sat down with In The Mix to give us an update on the show. “We’ve been working on stuff and trying to get something together,” said Irvine. “It’s a comedy about the rise of a DJ through the world of electronic dance music, from humble origins to becoming a superstar DJ… The idea’s to make it very character driven as well – you’ve got [touchstones] like Human Traffic and Project X and that kind of territory, and Entourage is another one too, you know, about the people that are around them.”
