Kölsch

Kölsch is one of several aliases of Rune Reilly Kølsch, a Denmark-based producer whose biggest hit was the saxophone-laced oddity "Calabria," originally released in 2003 (under the name Rune). A favorite in Ibiza clubs, it was updated a few years later, credited to Enur, and topped Billboard's U.S. club chart. Kølsch has frequently collaborated with his brother on projects such as Artificial Funk, Fashion Victims, and Heavy Rock. After the Kompakt label's Michael Mayer caught one of his Ink and Needle productions, he was signed to the Cologne label, an outlet for some of his less commercial (yet still very much accessible) recordings. After a handful of singles, the Kölsch album 1977 was issued on Kompakt in 2013. ~ Andy Kellman
