Under his trademark Venetian guise, Claptone continues to be one of dance’s most majestic acts; fresh off the back of his lauded third studio album ‘Closer’ and with his spellbinding “The Masquerade” parties taking over iconic Ibiza club Pacha weekly all summer long, this Defected release continues to demonstrate an artist who has fully realized who he is.

‘Calabria’ reflects one of the things Claptone loves most, summer festivals. The artist even says,

“Finally, summer’s here, and it’s a full-on worldwide festival summer. A long sunny Ibiza season has just started and all that obviously needs a soundtrack. So, here’s the essential track of all my recent sets, my very own take on ‘Calabria’. Sounding like bottled sun, bottled fun, bottled smiles. Wait why bottled? Just open that bottle and unleash all that positivity…”
