They revealed two new tracks, “ Can’t Runaway” and “ Mic Drop“, and perfomed at several festivals. Both 90’s anthems were produced by one of the most accomplished Finnish DJ/producer and founding member of the hip-hop group, Jaakko Salovaara also known as JS16.Īlthough the the band’s collaborators dedicated themselves to other musical projects after 2005, they made a comeback after a 14 year-long hiatus in 2019. The same year Bomfunk MC’s won the Best Nordic Act award at the MTV Europe Music Awards. It didn’t take too long for ‘ Freestyler‘ to become Europe’s best selling single in year 2000: it topped the charts in Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, and Germany, and was number 2 in the United Kingdom. However, with the release of ‘ Sandstorm‘ and Bomfunk MC’s single, the tables have turned. The breakbeat classic was released as the third single from their first studio album ‘ In Stereo‘ in October 1999 and made its debut in the international music scene a year later. Prior to 2000, popular music in Finland was mainly produced for their national audience. As one of the most recognizable breakbeats celebrating its 21st birthday, it is time to walk down on memory lane and take a look at the story behind it.
Darude’ssong ‘ Sandstorm‘ turned 21 years old and so did another 90’s global hit, ‘ Freestyler‘ by hip-hop group Bomfunk MC’s. The Finnish music scene has a lot to celebrate this year.
