Story Of ‘Destination Calabria’

Alex Gaudino shares the story behind his 2006 hit ‘Destination Calabria’.

The unmistakeable anthem is a mash-up of Gaudino and Crystal Waters’ ‘Destination Unknown’ and Rune RK’s ‘Calabria’, both released in 2003.

Here, Gaudino explains how he first heard the latter track being played out by Pete Tong and immediately needed to sign it. Three years later, he mixed the two together. The rest is history: the track was launched into the charts and was later paired with a famously risqué music video.

Alex Gaudino reflects on the track’s surprising legacy and the journey its taken in the years since.
