Darude lacks real world sandstorm experience
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 28 July 2016
Write about what you know, I was always told. But first Kelis admitted that she’d never made a milkshake, and now it turns out that Darude has never been caught in a sandstorm. What is this world?
The producer dropped the bombshell in a Reddit AMA (which was very ‘Sandstorm’ focussed), answering a direct question asking if he’d ever been in a sandstorm: “No, but in a smaller one, dust devil, or whatever you want to call it… AND, I’ve got a picture from a few years back, when I was landing in Arizona I believe it was, where I literally landed and … a sandstorm blew through the airport area and you can see the edge on the pic”.
Not fucking good enough, Darude. Being caught up in a mini sandstorm years ago does not provide the experience required to write about the phenomenon. And being near a full-sized sandstorm? Come on now. I can only advise that you focus future energies on writing about milkshakes.
