Biography
editThis section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (July 2015) |
Starting his career in 2005, Durand was recommended by Tiësto as his 'Tip For the Top in 2007' in DJ Magazine. In that same year, he was placed in the DJ Magazine Top 100 DJs poll.
His first creations were tech trance singles "Make Me Scream" and "Slipping Away" on the Terminal 4 label, but his real success started with remixes of Tiësto singles "Lethal Industry", "Flight 643" and "Break My Fall", and reworks of The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" and Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" which brought him into the playlist of DJs such as Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Judge Jules and Eddie Halliwell.
In 2008, Durand remixed Fragma's "Toca's Miracle" and Armin van Buuren's "In and Out of Love". His solo productions included "Weep" featuring Skin from Skunk Anansie on vocals, which was signed to Perfecto Records.
In 2009, Durand remixed Art of Trance's "Madagascar" followed by his debut artist album Always the Sun on Magik Muzik/Black Hole Recordings. The album spawned three singles: "Into Something", "Always the Sun" and "No Way Home".[1]
