Richard Durand remixes

I find that of recently Durand's remix work has really been impressing me, they seem to worm their way into my sets someway or the other! Think he really has been spot on for the last couple months!

But my question is, how different is Richard Durand's remix agenda different from Sean Tyas. Yes, Durand's production I feel really trumps Tyas, but they both seem to have a penchant for updating classics in their own way, although of course, I don't really seem to be into the whole "Sean Tyas 2007 Harder Kick Rework" thing thats going on! Any thoughts?

According to Sean Tyas' website, that one is a fake... Not made by him: Quote from his site:

"FAKES
As the Rush Comes (Sean Tyas hard kick rework) - what the fuck, are you kidding me.. Why would anyone need a rework of this after Armin gave an amazing remix?"

@ Topic...
Well, I haven't heard much from Richard Durand yet (plus there aren't many Richard Durand remixes compared to the number of Sean Tyas' Remixes)...
However, I like his remixes of the two Tiesto songs...

I think he is refering to all his remixes etc.

Yeah, I was, coz that seems to be Sean Tyas modus operandi at the moment! When in doubt, use the harder kick, and slap it out in 320kbps as the rework!

With regards to Richard Durand, apart from the amazing "Sunhump", he has done new mixes of Way Out West's classic "The Fall", Tiesto's "Lethal Industry" and "Flight 643" as well Niels van Gogh's infamous "Pulverturm", along with some others. Obviously, I think there's a pattern here, but the sound Durand is going for is much easier on the ears than Tyas' "reworks"...

i just heard
the prodigy - smack my bitch up (richard durand remix)

the idiot.

Posted by Lyle on Mar-23-2007 08:37:

Yeah, I heard about the Prodigy one, haven't actually heard it though. So, I'm not the only one who sees this pseudo classic revival thingy...

Obviously nowadays you just need to remix or remake old tracks, no one wants you to remix/remake, in order to get recognition

So far, i don't like his stuff.

Richard Durand - Inside My Brain

His remix of Way Out West - Fall is maybe the worst remix i've ever heard.

Posted by isoterra on Mar-23-2007 16:48:

he's hit & miss. his version of the fall was pretty weak & i never really saw the fuss with sunhump, but the tiesto updates were both quality, completely keeping the feel of the respective originals & putting new twists on them. slipping away was awesome too

i was hoping the fad would be short lived, but the fact he's resorting to SMBU & born slippy doesn't look too promising ;/

still at least he scores points on tyas by his remixes not all sounding the same

i actually really like it for the most part.. the main synth is pretty awful though, but the rest i enjoy...

I've only heard his remix of lethal industry and thought it sucked, too hardstylish for me.

Will check out his other productions however.

My only complaint with all these remixes is the change in the name leaving out the original artist.

example:

Tatana & Tyas pres T&T - Airwave 2006
Tatana meets Tyas - Children 2006

They're good tracks, but it seems the original producers are getting screwed out of recognition. I'd prefer them to be

Rank 1 - Airwave (Tatana & Tyas's 2006 Remix)

na'mean

Only Sunhump 06 works for me...

Posted by charlie lloyd on Mar-25-2007 22:53:

i agree with isoterra about sunhump. i really didnt have a feel for that track at all, more like a half assed dj shah track imo. some of durands tracks are the same for me as tyas... some you like and some you dont, its just picking out the right ones that you like cos your never gonna like every track every producer ever makes. thats just the way it is.

as for the remixing classics issue, theres atleast a million remixes that are done by producers of those tunes that never get signed up but those guys never get the grief that the producers who get theirs released do. its down to the labels at the end of the day, if they get signed up then its because the labels know that they will make lots of money and thats what counts. white labels and bootlegs no matter how good or bad manage to shift lots of units so if the labels hold the copyrights then they'll put them out. in the likes of tyas's case and many other producers, they make those edits or remixes for their sets but they pretty much get signed up because of the reaction they get on the dancefloor.
