REVIEW: Richard Durand - L.A. ROCK on Magik Muzik / Black Hole recordings


1. Original Mix 
2. Radio Edit 

 After shaking up the planet with his previous two singles "Radical" and 'Trancematic", Richard Durand administers another adrenaline shot with his brand new, rapid-firing single "L.A. ROCK". 

 Richard's endeavors of last year's “Vs. The World” project must have given the DJ/producer an enormous amount of inspiration, given the pace in which he currently drops hit after hit. Preparing himself for another super busy year, the man has slated plenty of new singles and remixes and a quick look at his upcoming tour schedule already shows that Richard isn't going to slow things down anytime soon. Many have said that the cuts "Radical" and "Trancematic" represent a peek into Durand's developing sound, with more tech, more synth and an incredible amount of variety in his arrangements; from intro to break to outro. With the new "L.A. ROCK" Richard once again delivers. 

 Packed against hot, swirling synth and string riffs, "L.A.ROCK" unleashes a subtly distorted tech trance production onto the dance floor. Stacking 3/4 percussion on top of a ferociously banging 4/4 bass kick, Richard generates an urging uplift culminating into a euphoric break. "L.A. ROCK" -literally- rocks. With capital letters.



Dimitri Kechagias review: Richard Durand is unstoppable delivering one great anthem after the other. Of course everybody is waiting also about the final tracklist and the initial release of his legendary compilation In Search Of Sunrise. His latest club slammer is called L.A. ROCK and you guess it right that the title describes well the actual content. Once again in his own unique way and style he combines tech trance with uplifting elements and the result will left you speechless, breathless and totally on fire cause L.A. ROCK is a firing track that doesn't pretend to be something else other than what really is of course. Rough and hard dance style beats along with thunderous rocking slamming basslines that drive the gigantic track towards its titanic size breakdown. It starts with cool atmosphere and then distorted harp chords perform the cool melody that is not the usual uplifting style. Its actually quite dark and prepares the crowd well for the massive climax. In your face pumping tech trance at its finest. You can expect crowds shouting and getting absolutely mad with it. Highly recommended. Love iT!
