Some tracks become classics because they top the charts. Others because they quietly changed someone’s life. For Richard Durand, “Sunrise” was one of those records. Years after André Visior & Kay Stone’s uplifting anthem first became a favourite among trance fans, Richard now returns to it with a heartfelt rework that preserves its unmistakable emotion while bringing its soaring melodies and timeless energy into a new era. Released on In Trance We Trust, it’s the kind of uplifting trance record that reminds you why the genre continues to resonate so deeply.
‘At that time, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue making music. This track, together with ‘Beyond This Earth’ by Signum, became a turning point for me. They reminded me how powerful and beautiful music can be, and how the music I create can also mean something to other people.’ – Richard Durand
