Biography

As Enur, Copenhagen-based dance producer and DJ Rune Kølsch scored a major club hit in 2007 with a fresh version of a years-old Rune track titled "Calabria," featuring reggae vocalist and fellow Dane Natasja Saad (who passed away in a June 2007 car accident). The track topped Billboard's U.S. dance chart in early 2008. Kølsch, who records with brother Johannes Torpe as Artificial Funk, has also produced under the aliases Heavy Rock, Ink & Needle, and Rude RKade. The Ultra label planned an album, imaginatively titled Enur: The Album, for a March 2008 release. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

History

Enur is composed of Copenhagen-based dance producer and DJ Rune RK and his brother Johannes Torpe. Enur scored a major club hit in 2007 with a fresh version of a year-old Rune track titled "Calabria", featuring reggae vocalist and fellow Dane Natasja Saad. Enur's "Calabria 2007" went to No. 29 on the European Hot 100 singles chart and, most recently, crossed to American shores via New York dance label Ultra Records. They are currently readying for the release of their full length album on Ultra Records.[1]

Success with "Calabria"

"Calabria 2008" as it is now known, has charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and gained support from mainstream and rhythmic top 40, dance and Latin radio. The track peaked at #9 in France[2], #3 in Canada, 3# in Portugal, and #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 [3] The song was also recently featured in a commercial for the Target Corporation ([2]).

Raggatronic

Enur has announced on their MySpace page that their album, Raggatronic, would be released on September 9 2008, and will feature guests such as Beenie Man, Natasja Saad, Greg Nice, Natalie Storm, and Chopper City Boyz. According to Billboard Magazine, the Caribbean, soul and electronic influences featured in "Calabria" will be prominently featured on the album. [4]

While discussing Raggatronic, Rune said, “I think America needs something fresh like that, and then also a lot of people – just the sound is such a mixture of influences. I think it appeals to a lot of different characters, and I think that's an advantage of coming from Europe and not having to pigeonhole into some sort of genre.” [5]
