Biography

Multi-platinum award winning producer and international artist Ville Virtanen aka Darude has to date sold over 5 million records worldwide and is recognised by many as one of the most influential artists to emerge from the dance scene in the past decade. Hailing from a small village called Hinnerjoki in Finland the patriotic Finn's horizons have been broadened through traveling the globe and he feels he has been fortunate to experience many cultures and see some of the worlds most beautiful and awe-inspiring destinations and believes this education of life has been a catalyst for much of his recent music. Although famed for the global smash 'Sandstorm', which became the world's best selling 12" vinyl of 2000, Darude has had a long and successful career as both a live performer and a DJ and has released other chart topping hits, like 'Feel The Beat' & 'Music' and three artist albums. Through his remix work he's been contributing to the mainstream success of singles such as ATB feat. York - 'The Fields of Love' and The Thrillseekers - 'Synaesthesia', gaining him undiminished support from industry leaders such as Radio 1's Pete Tong, Judge Jules, Ferry Corsten and Paul Oakenfold.
