Darude remains one of dance music’s most influential stars. At the age of 24 and at the height of the trance boom this Finnish DJ/ artist/ producer Ville Virtanen created the milestone single ‘Sandstorm’ under his pseudonym Darude. The track went on to become one of the biggest selling dance singles in the history of electronic dance music with globe sales of over 2 million units and to date featuring on over 200 compilations worldwide.

In addition to his impressive live shows, Darude’s talents as a DJ are unique, and he appeals to audiences of many styles of electronic dance music.

With appearances globally across radio and TV, the sound of Darude is a familiar feature in the modern era of club culture. Featuring across a variety of media, the signature sound of Darude can be found in Hollywood movies such as ‘Ballistic’, ‘Ecks vs. Sever’, ‘Like Mike’ and the recent Jim Carey hit film ‘Fun With Dick and Jane’, Playstation games and popular sports broadcasts like the Ice Hockey World Championships, Wimbledon, Euro 2000 and the 2006 Winter Olympics.
