Fresh from his Beatport top 10 hitting remix of Svenson’s classic ‘Sunlight Theory’ last month, arch trance-master Richard Durand returns for his first release strike of 2014 with ‘Morning Light’. Fusing elements of his best-known-for sound with some different sonic threads, the result is as captivating as it is downright speaker thrashing!
Richard’s latest kicks out floor thrust from its outset, building into a twister of electro-shocking break-beat loops, sizzling FX and floor-infecting vocal samples. From there Durand deals out bass justice with a cliff-dive drop into deep techy bongs, space-ily atmospheric bleeps, super-squelch LFO and stabby after-FX. At the cusp of the break, with its production avionics primed for uplift, the track’s mainline goes surface to air at the speed of sound. Rivet-tough, for floors that truly know, ‘Morning Light’ is out now.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Richard Durand is one of the true legends in electronic dance music with huge abilities as producer and behind the decks in his worldwide tours. His return for 2014 is the amazing remake of the classic Team Deep anthem Morning Light. I still remember the nights that I was dancing along this track in London on the famous Heaven club and on the well known Friday trance nights. It is one of those tracks that can change your mood and turn you into a wild party animal. Richard Durand is well known for his hard tech trance style and on this track he seems that he outdone himself and delivers one of the big anthems that will be played many times in the forthcoming summer festival season. The track starts in old school break beats style with the well known melodic theme on top along with the fantastic vocals. The first breakdown follows and the huge thunderous synthy lead well known from the original slowly is unleashed like the fire that slowly burns everything. The heavy hard hitting beat strikes back and bangs and bounces along. The bassline is sharp, thunderous and heavy so there is no return and better enjoy the ride. The euphoric synthy lead appears along with some acid overtones that pump the track even more and increase its incredible amount of energy and stamina. The 2nd breakdown is longer and very atmospheric as it introduces a very nice spacey little synthy melody that makes the difference along with the well known trademark synthy lead. The final climax is exceptional once again with thunderous beats, earthquake like basslines that will move mountains and skyscrapers too. The synthy stabs and acid grungy riff is here to smash the house and roughen up your dj set! I would love to see some remixes from artists like Ferry Corsten or New World Punx and Mark Norman. Hit record and I believe that within 2014 we will see more cover versions from other artists as well. #PureGold Love iT
