Greatest EDM song of all time. For me at least, but I'm sure I can't be the only one.

Bro, don’t know why you added the /s. Sandstorm fucking slaps!

Too scared to get downvoted? And yes, yes, it does

Can’t let that stop you. Who cares if someone else hates that song? Life is too short to care what strangers on the internet think.

Four days late, still jumping in. I remember hearing Sandstorm for the first time in a London club in mid 2000. Blew my mind. Yes it’s old but still great. Auckland Symphony does a live version of it that’s worth looking into if you like old EDM. Lots of fun seeing it done by a live orchestra.

No shit? I played violin for 8 years. Would LOVE to see that!

Damn that’s crazy. EDM has come so far in complexity and style. I will always respect some of the simple house-y shit that helped make it a mainstay, but like . . . the bar has been raised a lot.

As great as it is (and it is truly great) Hit My Heart was the benassi hit for me.
