Career

In 2003, Kölsch released the track "Calabria", an instrumental house tune with a synthesized saxophone riff, on Credence, a sublabel of Parlophone Records, for which he received the Danish Music Award in 2004. In the 2000s, several remakes of "Calabria" were released, including a version by Drunkenmunky and a mashup titled "Destination Calabria" by Alex Gaudino featuring Crystal Waters, a veritable international hit in many countries, whilst in June 2022 two songs using the same sample were climbing the UK Top 30, one by DJ Nathan Dawe, the other by West London drill rapper Benzz. In 2017, Kölsch performed on top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris for Cercle.
