Alex Gaudino - Destination Calabria

About a week and a half ago I found myself in Amherst about to embark on a camping trip with a mixture of people I knew from the school year and people I had just met. I volunteered my car for this venture and loaded it up with gear and people. The last time I was home I had downloaded a bunch of techno songs and loaded them on my iPod and, seeing as how I am the type of person to saturate myself with music that is new to me, I was playing only those songs over my car radio. Right as we were about to leave on our trip, Destination Calibria played, and someone in the car recognized it and mentioned something about how awesome this song is. When it was over, another techno song played, and then after that another, prompting that same person to ask what awesome, commercial free Pioneer Valley radio station we were listening to. I couldn't help but chuckle.



The coolest thing about this song is that there is actually another song, "Calabria 2008" by Enur, that shares the same main loop but has a completely different sound.

There's actually ANOTHER version of this song--my favorite, and I think possibly the original--found below. This one is by Drunken Monkey.



Having lots of remixes is clearly a mark of true techno greatness. The fact that this single, incredibly simple loop can be repeated over and over with absolutely no loss of quality is a testament to its brilliance. If this song were to continue forever, I wouldn't care... in fact, I would be happy.

Seeing an endless loop of the girl in the Destination Calabria video also wouldn't hurt.
