Dance Music Producer, Dario G Known For Hit “Sunchyme” Dies At 53

Paul Spencer, the renowned dance music producer famously known as Dario G, has died at the age of 53. Diagnosed with stage four rectal cancer last year, Paul maintained a positive spirit throughout his battle, sharing his journey with fans on social media.

Spencer’s family announced his passing on Instagram, stating, “He was positive until the end but this was one battle he could not fight any more. He leaves behind a wonderful musical legacy and many happy memories for many people.” Fellow musicians and fans have been pouring in tributes, honouring his life and contributions to music.

Dario G started as a duo in the 1990s with Scott Rosser, later becoming a trio with the addition of Stephen Spencer. They created iconic tracks like “Sunchyme,” which reached No. 2 on the UK singles chart in 1997, only held back by Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind.”

Their follow-up single, “Carnaval de Paris,” became an unofficial anthem for the 1998 World Cup in France, peaking at No. 5 in the UK.
