Sandstorm is a trance instrumental by Finnish DJ Darude, first released in 1999 and later becoming one of the most recognizable electronic tracks online. The song spread far beyond dance music through gaming videos, sports clips and early internet meme culture. It became especially famous as a running joke answer to people asking for a song name, which kept the track in circulation for years. Its pounding beat and bright synth hook still make it a go-to choice for high-speed, high-energy edits.
