Without doubt the hottest new trance DJ / producer to emerge from Holland in recent years is Richard Durand. Recommended by the mighty Tiësto as his 'Tip For The Top in 2007' in DJ Magazine, Richard responded with a string of stunning productions and show stopping festival performances that have cemented his place as a fans favourite worldwide and a permanent fixture in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll.
The Richard Durand sound is trance, techno and tough electro in a unique package that's both dynamic and devastating. He has an ability to work crowds into a frenzy through his DJ sets, utilising 4 x CDJs, effects units and taking listeners on a whirlwind journey of cutting edge tunes, exclusive reworks, slick mixing and technical wizardry behind the decks - a combination that has made him must see material and a star performer at A-list events; headlining global festival brands such as Global Gathering, Sensation, Trance Energy, Mayday, ASOT, plus leading club brands around the world.
It was Richard Durand's studio productions that first put his name on the map with Tiësto personally commissioning him to remix four separate singles including 'Lethal Industry' and 'Flight 643', with a remix of Armin van Buuren 'In And Out Of Love' another highlight. Equally popular have been the unofficial Richard Durand reworks of other famous tracks such as Prodigy 'Smack My Bitch Up' and Snow Patrol 'Chasing Cars' which have become firm favourites in the playlists of leading DJs worldwide.
Richard Durand finally laid down an album marker in 2009 with Magik Muzik / Black Hole Recordings releasing his debut long player 'Always The Sun' which put Richard's career path firmly in the fast lane with the album spawning crossover hits 'Into Something', 'No Way Home' and title track 'Always The Sun' which made TV channel playlists across Europe and clocked up close to 2 million YouTube hits. 2011 saw a further landmark release with his second artist album 'Wide Awake' which came loaded with several massive singles including the 'Wide Awake' title single feat. Ellie Lawson on vocals, 'Explode', 'Night And Day' feat. Christian Burns and 'N.Y.C' feat. Jes.
As we move into 2012, 'Richard Durand vs The World' will be Richard's third artist album and an album like no other. One continent at a time, Richard will be collaborating with both established and new producer talent with track arrangements made available on the internet for collaborators to work on and the winning entries making the final album release in September. Elsewhere, the eagerly anticipated 10th edition of the 'In Search Of Sunrise' compilation is released in May with a worldwide series of tour dates starting in Utrecht in Holland and working its way to every corner of the globe by the end of the year
