Richard Durand vs The World

You might find it curious to know that if you’re a A-list producer its now considered no longer enough to go into the studio, write some tracks and release them as an album. These days you need an extra angle, a bit more of an edge. For his next long-player this is an ethos that Richard Durand has embraced... to the most extreme of degrees!

Pushing the expression ‘high concept’ to the limits of its meaning, his new album 'Richard Durand vs. The World' has already created substantial advance-word buzz. Centred around an audacious grand plan though, it won’t actually be seeing the light of day until September 2012! So what’s the big idea then? Well, aside from his own country/continent-themed album tracks, over the next 9 months he’ll be stopping off at the studios of some fellowtrance glitterati for collaboration sessions. Representing Russia and Australia, both Bobina and tyDi have already teamed-up with Richard for ‘Versus’ tracks and there’ll be several more to follow. That though is merely the album’s oer d’oeuvre idea! In what surely must be the most exciting proposition put before bedroom producers and showering singers in years, region by region Richard is giving you the chance to co-produce/write on the album! The Australia/NZ/Asia territory has already been hard at it and with Europe up next, things are going to get very exciting indeed for those waiting-to-be-discovereds. If this sounds like it might be up your strasse, wait for your region to come up then head over to Richard’s Facebook Fanpage (link below), download his base track and start working your studio magic on it. Hit it right and by this time next year, it could be your name up there in production lights!
