Dario G

The group rose to prominence in the late 1990s following the release of their debut single "Sunchyme", which reached number two in the United Kingdom, Scotland, Denmark and Switzerland.

[8][9] Following a period of moderate success in various charts, Paul Spencer died in June 2024 following a diagnosis with stage four rectal cancer in 2023.

[10] Internationally, "Sunchyme" sold over 1.5 million copies and was described as a "surprise" after the trio had initially hoped for "modest UK and Mediterranean success".

Band member Scott said that "they got together a plan for one, to be called Super Dario Land, and for three or four weeks, we thought we'd go for it as well – we actually started work on it on the day after the commercial release of 'Sunchyme' went into the charts, in mid‑September.

Their record label at that time, Warner Bros, were said to have also expected their debut album to be based around the sound which lead to their breakthrough with the single.

[10] In March 2000, their third single, "Voices", featuring vocals from Vanessa Quiñones and produced by Peter Oxendale, was used for the film The Beach.

A new version of "Carnaval de Paris" was released in 2002, for the World Cup in South Korea and Japan.

In 2010, Dario G recorded a new song, "Game On", along with rapper Pitbull, for the Official FIFA 2010 World Cup soundtrack.

[10] The song featured Shirley Bassey and got its first play on BBC Radio 2 on The Paul O'Grady Show.
