In the ridiculous, knowing likes of 'The Girls' and 'Disco Heat', Harris has distilled all of the synth-popping, amp-busting sounds of electroclash and disco-punk into a complete set of proper pop uppers.

Young Scottish knob twiddler pilfers the synth-disco sound of the Eighties on patchy, overlong debut.

Brilliant title aside, Harris’s debut is less than satisfying, though not uninteresting. The deadpan opener, Merrymaking at My Place, and the amusing title track are good examples of his sardonic electro-pop, familiar from the inescapable hit singles The Girls and Acceptable in the 80s.

LCD's influence on Harris is obvious: Merrymaking at My Place, the opening track on I Created Disco, could be a riff on Daft Punk Is Playing at My House from the first LCD album. But where Murphy's music is sophisticated, engaging and danceable, I Created Disco is witless and forever tripping over its own feet. Harris's two plodding instrumentals are bad enough, but on most tracks he chants repetitive lyrics so stupid they feel like an insult to the listener.
