DARUDE - DJ, electronic music artist, producer, streamer and YouTube star!

Darude is my guest this week on the Nordic Future Makers podcast! Darude is a Finnish DJ, producer and EDM artist and in this podcast we talk about his big hit 'Sandstorm' and how it keeps coming back - most recently as a weekly ritual to help Finland through the corona virus lockdown. We also talk about how 'Sandstorm' became a hit originally, how it became a thing for Watford FC / sports around the world, how it became a thing for gamers and we even discuss about how 'Sandstorm' became an official YouTube April Fools prank in 2015. Finally, we talk about how Darude has really got into streaming on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/darude) and have a chat about what it was like to represent Finland at Eurovision in 2019! It's a fascinating conversation with a really nice guy and I think this extended episode is a great way to end series 1 of the Nordic Future Makers podcast (Theme music created by E.Burcher) #darude #sandstorm #nordicfuturemakers #edm #twitch #eurovision Hosted on Acast.
