DARUDE
It all started
with a brilliantly engineered sound that´s increased in frequency,
until it sounds like an alarm following you through the track. It
left no chance but dance for your life. The sound developed into
a track, which has been one of the most popular dance tunes around
the Europe this year. The track was named "Sandstorm"
and it started to dominate, first the Finnish dance- and single
charts, and eventually it made people go wild even in UK. Darude
performed in BBC´s Top Of The Pops -program in June 2000 where
he had the pleasure to play the track which was number three on
UK´s single chart, and this was just a beginning
Darude ( his
real name is Ville Virtanen) found dance music years ago through
the radio. When he was still in school, about five years ago, he
bought his first PC and started to put up German-style happy hardcore
with tracker programs. However, the possibilities of the PC didn´t
satisfy Darude for long and soon he started to work with sound modules
and samplers. He made music with the thought that someday his tracks
would make it big time.
