It is the first single released from his debut album ''My Destination''. The track is a [mashup](/source/Mashup_(music)), taking the instrumental from [Rune RK](/source/Rune_Reilly_K%C3%B6lsch)'s "[Calabria](/source/Calabria_(song))" and the vocals from Gaudino's and Waters' "Destination Unknown", both originally released in 2003. It was produced with the help of Maurizio Nari and Ronnie Milani (Nari & Milani), matching the saxophone [riff](/source/riff) from "Calabria" to Waters' voice. In 2006, "Destination Calabria" was released in Italy as a [12-inch single](/source/12-inch_single) by [Rise Records](/source/Rise_Records_(Italy)). In the United Kingdom, a [CD](/source/CD_single) and 12-inch single were issued on 19 March 2007 by [Data Records](/source/Data_Records). The song was also successful in several other countries, including Australia, Belgium, France, Ireland, Spain, and the United Kingdom. ==Music video== The music video is directed by [Eran "Rani" Creevy](/source/Eran_Creevy), produced by Ben Pugh for [Ministry of Sound](/source/Ministry_of_Sound) and choreographed by David Leighton.{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9795886/fullcredits |title=Alex Gaudino feat.
