Nineties pop legend Dario G looks completely different 26 years after smash hit Sunchyme

NINETIES music fans will have trouble recognising legend Dario G more than two decades on since he smashed the charts.

But Dario G – real name Paul Spencer – is still doing what he loves best and blasting out the tunes 26 years since his huge hit Sunchyme.

Back then, Paul was part of an electronic music trio – also called Dario G – when the floor-filler entered the UK charts at No.2.

Fans will remember the iconic video for Sunchyme, which featured dancers in incredible safari costumes and makeup.

The group, also starring Scott Rosser and Stephen Spencer, later disbanded but Paul still uses the moniker as his stage name.

Paul recently took to the stage for the Biggest 90s Disco – a huge concert featuring a host of legends from the decade.

Vengaboys, 2 Unlimited, Haddaway and Phats & Small were among the names on the nostalgic lineup.

Performing as Dario G, Paul was snapped on stage as he delighted crowds in venues across the UK by playing the electric piano and performing Sunchyme.

At one point, the now-bald musician even grabbed a trumpet as he really got into it.

Following one of the gigs in Northern Ireland, Paul wrote on Instagram: “Belfast that was nuts! Thank you.”

One fan replied alongside a clip of him playing Sunchyme on the piano: “Beautiful tune…!”

Another added: “My favourite!”

And one gig goer chimed in: “It was amazing from start to finish! That was a proper 90s arena concert!”

Released in 1997, Sunchyme was composed around a sample of the 80s Dream Academy hit Life In A Northern Town.

The following year, Dario G peaked at No.5 with their follow up single Carnaval de Paris.

The banger was made the official song of the 1998 Fifa World Cup, which was held in France.
