Globetrotting DJ extraordinaire and Master of the Sunrise ceremony, Richard Durand is back to present his fourth instalment of the compilation line of what may be the greatest trance series of them all. Having previously tracked daybreaks in South Africa and India, with his 2012 Australian edition he shook up the ‘Sunrise’ system, sharing its mix duties for the first time. In 2013 he’s decided to raise the stakes again.

Richard Durand returns with a stunning new Artist Album which can only be described as...... superb. Featuring huge tracks and colabs with the likes of Paul Oakenfold, Headbeat & Bobina. This is a must for all lovers of trance & tech.

14 months, 15 productions, bridging all 5 continents, powered by 1 imagination-capturing concept and 1 what-dreams-are-made-of contest - ‘Versus The World’ has been a bona fide production odyssey. The project has seen internationally renowned musician Richard Durand produce his way to the ends of the earth, working with regional EDM like-minds including Paul Oakenfold, Bobina, tyDi, Heatbeat and Protoculture. 

Featuring the chart-busting singles Dry Land and Tiger’s Apology; with vocal collaborations from JES and Christian Burns, Richard Durand is ready to un-cage his thrilling new album - Wide Awake.
