Epic Sax Guy is Sergey Stepanov, the saxophonist of Moldovan group SunStroke Project, whose solo in 'Run Away' at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo became one of the internet's first great music memes. Endless remixes, dance edits and ten-hour loops kept the riff alive for over a decade, and the 2022 cut is a fan favourite take on the classic solo. It now sits alongside other hype sounds like the club air horn and remains a staple of MLG-style montages and entrance memes.

This is the famous saxophone solo from SunStroke Project's 'Run Away', the Eurovision 2010 entry that turned saxophonist Sergey Stepanov into the internet's Epic Sax Guy. The clip loops his groovy, swaggering sax riff, all punchy brass stabs and danceable rhythm, instantly recognisable from a decade of memes. Hearing it makes any entrance feel larger than life: ordinary footage suddenly gets a funky strut, and viewers brace for something funny or spectacular. It is pure feel-good energy that turns mundane moments into mini dance parties.
