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.

It’s a rip off of exit EEE. Just changed it to a sax.
What I love about these videos is it shows how truly global club music is… France, USA, Italy, UK, Germany … one family 💕
I just had a massive flashback and I came to realize that I aged prematurely! 😂
lol how are all these hits originating in italy
The sax is addictive even today. My body starts moving as soon as it plays.
This opened every club night for a whole year and made every club song have to have some sax in it. Then Alors on Danse came right at the end of that trend.
Excellent
