    I was a bartender in a niteclub when Sandstorm came out. That track was so huge. I remember at the time, the Nokia 3210 had come out and it allowed you to create your own ringtones by manually typing in the notes in the little ringtone editor. Literally everyone I worked with in that niteclub had their ringtone set to Sandstorm. 1997 - 2002 was the peak of dance music for me. So many bangers came out during that era.

    One of the most fun and genuine individuals you'll ever meet in the industry. Was honored to do an event with him many years ago. I felt bad the crowd didn't feel him (it was when rap/R&B/hip-hop was all over the clubs) but it was a great experience to meet Darude.
    I will say his success is well-deserved.

I can even remember the time I first heard it which is no small feat because of all the various chemicals I had taken that night lol. I was amazed at what I had heard that night. That song felt like nothing else that was out at the time back then. Still to this day I smile when I hear it randomly. Superb song!

    The first time I heard the song I was listening to MunchMusic, and the first CD I ever owned was the Canadian release of Sandstorm which I guess is the 'Special Edition'. I was 16. It got me through my first summer jobs, led me into producing and DJ'ing. And is still a nice classic I like to throw on when I need to be pumped up. Even later, when it become a bit of a meme, people who hear the song hear a bang'er. Thanks, VV and JS16 for shaping this Canadian kid life just a little.

    Canadian of Finnish roots checking in here. First heard this at the first-ever middle school dance I went to in the spring of 2001. Never forgot the blue lights the hired DJ used as this song blasted through my middle school cafeteria, all while I’m standing there just FASCINATED by this song, even as a cute girl was trying to get my attention lol.
    Later on that summer I picked up a copy of Before The Storm and fell in love with trance ever since.
    Great to see Villi talk about the making of the track and how it got so big. Kiitos!

    I remember moving from the UK in 2003 (where dance music had been commercial and publically acceptable for more than a decade) to the USA (where it was still looked down upon and basically unheard of in the mid-west, they still called everything 'techno' and avoided it like the plague)...but during 2006 I remember going to a baseball game and suddenly it was 'okay' to play snippits of both Zombie Nation and Sandstorm...and the crowd would be sat clapping and do doo dooing to it, like it was their only exposure to dance music. Then you'd walk back out of the stadium and people would be in their cars listening to country, rap and rock again. I just found it really bizzare.

      It really is truly bizarre how some parties (political and religious) like to fight music of a certain types for decades. There's always some form of music to demonize for some absurd reason. Metal still takes the cake for being "bad" for the dumbest reasons and yet, the communities around it are the chillest mf around. Never any issues at metal festivals or gigs. It's always the local bar/festival with shitty pop playing and people drunk out of their mind that has the issues with violence or all sorts etc.
