Darude’s ‘Sandstorm’, originally released in 1999, remains one of dance music’s most recognisable tracks 25 years later.
“It went viral, before viral was a thing”, Darude reflects when asked about the legacy of ‘Sandstorm’; from its early chart success and Top of the Pops glory, to its seemingly never-ending social media attention and cult following of today.
