Richard Durand vs. South America: Contest Now Open! The last leg begins: your opportunity to co-produce one of the tracks for Richard’s new album!

RD vs. Africa & The Middle East features the huge Protoculture collaboration ‘Pleasure’. Also includes pro-am co-op with contest-winning newcomer Stefan Viljoen!

KA-POW! With the first three region EPs already released and the Africa/Middle East hitting download stores this week, ‘Vs The World’ - Richard Durand’s one-of-a-kind, album-in-the-making - is entering its final phase! Aspiring studio-junkies, notebook-jotting songwriters and podium singing starlets from across South America, its time to take the stage. Your EDM challenge awaits! Someone in your region is going to be collaborating with Richard on a track for the album!
