History

Enur is comprised 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.

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.” [http://dancemusic.about.com/od/remixersproducers/a/EnurInterview.htm ]
