 Bowdoin Orient A&E - Finland's Darude keeps the beat
Darude is perhaps best known in the world of electronic music for his use of sound "snippets" which he is able to combine into an infectious musical theme, acting in every song as a clarion call to the dance floor.
Epic drum build-ups, followed by cathartic returns to the melodic themes are a signature feature of Darude's music and dominate many of the most energetic songs.
Darude takes this theme to a new level in the song's interlude, with a long build-up peaked by a fresh return to the electronic snippets, which make even dancing in your seat inevitable.

Darude, (he acquired this “nickname” when he first started DJing, he played a track called Rude Boy, by Swedish artist Leila K, quite a bit.
The funny part is, I’ve heard Darude out in clubs before (as I was listening to the album I was like, “I’ve heard this song!!”) — Sandstorm was the only hit I hadn’t committed to my clubbing-memory, apparently.
One of the beautiful things about Darude is his simplicity and consistency — I would qualify him as being House, maybe Progressive House, perhaps even Trance — but he doesn’t get bogged down in all of this "labeling" stuff.

 Is Darude just another ATB ? - Homeofmusic Community Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
If Darude is really successful, his next releases will offer him much more crative control.
I think ATB done a great remix of Cream by Blank and Jones, but I think he done that when he was a bit less known and with his work in SQ1, Andre has done some good stuff, although I know he is not on his own in SQ1.
People were saying that it sounded way too familiar to Sandstorm but I reckon it aint that bad, the synth from Sandstorm isnt used too much and on this track at least you can hear some sort of beat to it throughout.

Darude follow up 'Sandstorm' with their second single and its going to be another winner.
However, head straight for the Bostik Remix, which is a driving trancer, dropping the weak melody of the original and making good use of the electro-voice sample from the original version.
It all appears to be a very rushed effort to cash-in on the success of 'Sandstorm' and could have done with being held back a few months and bit more thought spent on it.
