Chase the Sun is a track by Italian electronic group Planet Funk, released in the early 2000s and later adopted as the signature music for Sky Sports darts coverage. Its energetic opening became the sound of players walking to the oche, and through years of televised tournaments it grew inseparable from the sport itself. Fans now associate the riff with big nights, dramatic finishes and the atmosphere of a packed darts arena, which is why it keeps appearing in edits, compilations and social videos long after its original chart run.
Über diesen Sound
The driving opening riff from Planet Funk's Chase the Sun, the famous walk-on anthem for televised darts, used in sports edits and hype intros.
This clip captures the instantly recognisable synth-driven opening of Chase the Sun, a high-energy dance track that has become synonymous with professional darts. A pulsing bassline, bright electronic melody and driving beat build a sense of anticipation in just a few seconds, like the moment a player steps out to a roaring crowd. It sounds triumphant, upbeat and slightly nostalgic, turning an ordinary entrance or highlight into a big-event moment. Even listeners who do not follow darts often recognise the riff from television coverage, where it signals that the action is about to begin.
