Motion is EDM as supply chain: immaculately engineered drops, A-list vocal deliveries on schedule, and "Summer"'s synth hook doing the heavy lifting for an hour of product. Calvin Harris at this point was less an artist than a standard — this is the sound of that standard being met, precisely and without surprise.
