Dutch trance DJ and producer Richard Durand began his career in 2005, and he garnered quick success, being mentioned two years later in Tiestö ‘s “Tips for the Top” article in DJ Magazine, which included Durand in its Top 100 DJs later that year. His early work included a number of well-received singles, but he really caught on after producing remixes for several Tiestö songs, as well as “Smack My Bitch Up” by the Prodigy and “Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol. These gained him the attention of hit DJs such as Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, and many others. Since then Durand has released a steady stream of singles and full length albums.
