Biography

Dario G was the name of an English dance and trance music group who are perhaps best known for their 1997 hit "Sunchyme" which reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart. The group formed in Cheshire, England and consisted of three DJs and producers Paul Spencer, Scott Rosser and Stephen Spencer (the Spencers are unrelated). In 1998, the group changed their name from Dario to Dario G after being threatened with legal action from an artist of the same name. True to popular belief, the name Dario G was named after the manager of Crewe Alexandra F.C., Dario Gradi and the similarity to Gradi was not a complete coincidence. Co-founder Paul Spencer also said they added the G in tribute to the jazz saxophonist Kenny G. Scott Rosser and Stephen Spencer later left to pursue other things leaving Paul Spencer to perform in a solo capacity.
