Search - Richard Durand :: Wide Awake

2011 release from the Dutch producer/DJ. With the album giving him an ideal platform with which to expand his musical scope, the Dutchman has housed 17 whip-sharp, cross-party electronic dance tracks on Wide Awake. From the very first key-strike of its dazzling curtain raiser 'Burning Piano' through to the gauzy melodics of 'Clear Blue Sky' and the hookily vocalled title track 'Wide Awake', the album builds a large precedent. From the sharp end of trance synthery, thru to swirling progressive atmospherics, to the speaker-quaking bass-rock of electro and all points in between, Durand's Wide Awake posts a new apex in his career.
