1) Biography
Beginnings
Virtanen started his career as an amateur musician while in high
school, making music using his PC's tracker software. As his interest in music
production rapidly grew (and his grades correspondingly dropped), he moved on
to more serious production techniques.
While at a classmate's party, Virtanen played the song "Rude Boy"
(written by Swedish artist Leila K) four times. This earned him the nickname
"Rude Boy," which gradually morphed into "Da Rude", which in turn inspired
the name "Darude."
Virtanen continued producing music while in technical school,
occasionally releasing demos to radio stations beginning in 1997, and offering
his music for download on MP3.com. In 1999, he gave a demo for "Sandstorm" to
his producer, JS16 (Jaakko Salovaara). Virtanen signed on with JS16's 16 Inch
Records label, and shortly thereafter, "Sandstorm" was released as a single.
Early career
"Sandstorm" was a smash hit in Finland, topping the Finnish Single
Chart, selling platinum and holding the #1 spot on the Finnish Dance Chart
for seventeen consecutive weeks. Word quickly spread about the track, which
found global success. After becoming the #3 single in the United Kingdom
(Becoming the first record by a Finnish artist to do so), "Sandstorm"
eventually sold 2 million units worldwide, and was the world's biggest selling
12-inch record in 2000.
Shortly thereafter, Darude released his debut album, Before the Storm,
selling 800,000 copies worldwide, topping the Finnish album charts, and
earning him three Finnish Grammy awards. Before the Storm was produced by
JS16, and features two of his remixes.
Darude's second single, "Feel the Beat," closely followed the success
of Sandstorm, reaching #5 on the UK Singles chart. Subsequent releases, "Out
of Control," and "Out of Control (Back for More)" (a remix of the former,
featuring vocals by Tammie Marie) failed to match the success of Darude's
first two singles.
Darude began a successful world tour in 2001, releasing Before the
Storm: Australian Tour Edition in the process. 2002 saw the release of Before
the Storm: Special Edition, featuring a collection of remixes of Darude's
work. Since the release of Rush, Darude has remained on the road, particularly
the United States and Eastern Europe.
In 2003, Darude released his second album, Rush, along with singles
"Music" and "Next to You". All three had modest success, with Rush reaching
#4 in weekly Finnish album sales and "Next to You" being commonly featured in
D.J. mixes.
Recent developments
Darude is currently ranked #58 on the D.J. List as of January 1, 2008
and #116 in the D.J. Mag Top 100.
Darude posted his singles Tell Me and My Game from his upcoming new
album Label This! on his official MySpace page. Tell Me was released in
Finland on April 11, 2007 and My Game on September 19, 2007.
The Finnish release date for Label This! was October 24, 2007.
