Enur (Rune) - Calabria (2003)

"Calabria" is a house music single by Danish producer Rune, also known as Enur. It was co-produced by Rune's half-brother Johannes Torpe and originally released in 2003 by Credence, a sublabel of Parlophone Records.

The track was originally conceived as an instrumental, but in spite of being licensed to several other labels outside Denmark, it received more airplay after Ronnie Milani and Maurizio Nari used the instrumental to create a mash-up with Alex Gaudino and Crystal Waters' "Destination Unknown", matching Rune's instrumental to Waters' vocals. It was released as "Destination Calabria" in 2005 by Rise.
Rune re-released the track once more in 2007, having remixed it with dancehall beats, and adding vocals by Danish reggae singer Natasja Saad. This reggae fusion version has been very successful around the world and gained popularity in the United States in mid-late 2007. It got heavy club play, eventually entering the playlist of major Top-40/Dance radio stations such as Z100 and KTU. It placed at #80 on Z100's top 100 songs of 2007
In 2008 the song hit the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at number 17, making it one of the highest peaking reggae fusion songs in 2008. There is also another remix featuring Mims  and a Dominican rap remix featuring Dominican artist Punto Rojo.
On January 16, 2008 the song reached number one on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart; this would be the first posthumously charted Number 1 single, as Saad was killed in an automobile accident in June 2007. It reached 17 on the Billboard Hot 100.
