After a three-year hiatus, dance music icon Darude has returned to the scene with a riotous new anthem entitled ‘Outlaws.’ The track, featuring House Body and vocalist Oskr, is also the debut release on Darude’s freshly launched Vibing Out imprint.
‘Outlaws’ is an unorthodox fusion of electronic and uplifting sonics, perfect for unruly ravers looking for something new and exciting. The track features a twanging guitar riff that accompanies the raspy tones of vocal powerhouse Oskr, creating a raw, rebellious energy that will surely get your heart racing. The dynamic synth stabs echoed by ringing sirens signal party-fuelled mayhem, making ‘Outlaws’ an absolute banger from start to finish.
With hits like ‘Sandstorm’ and ‘Music,’ Darude has been a staple in the dance music scene for over two decades. In fact, ‘Sandstorm’ is considered one of the most iconic dance tracks of all time, with over 600 million worldwide streams. Darude has performed at some of the world’s biggest festivals, including Tomorrowland, Parookaville, and Dreamstate SoCal. In 2019, he even had the honor of representing Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Collaborator Oskr is also a rising star in the Finnish music scene. A multi-faceted singer, songwriter, and producer, Oskr has already secured signings with Revealed Recordings and scored over 1 million Spotify streams on his debut single ‘Lie.’ Meanwhile, House Body brings over 25 years of experience as a producer, DJ, songwriter, and visual artist. With credits including Nervo, Felix Jaehne, and Backstreet Boys, House Body channels old-school house, techno, and garage influences into his extensive catalog of work.
But Darude isn’t content to just release new music in 2023. He’s also launching his own audio and visual record label, Vibing Out. Born of Darude’s weekly #VibingOut live-stream party on Twitch, the label aims to showcase a community-driven ethos and offer a platform to fresh electronic talents. With the launch of Vibing Out, Darude is once again proving himself to be a trailblazer in the dance music world, and we can’t wait to see what he has in store for us next.
