When Richard Durand drops a new record on FSOE, expectations are naturally high—and Rubicon doesn’t just meet them, it surges right past. As the press text puts it, Richard Durand returns to FSOE with a brilliant, uplifting original: this is “Rubicon”! And yes—brilliant is exactly the word.
From the opening bars, Rubicon signals intent. A taut, rolling low-end lays the groundwork while crisp percussion locks the groove into classic 138 BPM drive. Durand steadily builds tension with rising synth motifs and subtle harmonic shifts, creating that unmistakable feeling of forward motion. When the breakdown arrives, it’s pure uplift—wide, emotional pads and a soaring lead that feels both euphoric and resolute. The drop hits with clarity and power, engineered for peak-time moments without sacrificing musicality.
A mainstay of the global trance scene for well over a decade, Richard Durand is known for his high-energy DJ sets and a discography that bridges uplifting, tech-leaning, and driving trance. He’s a familiar name across the biggest festivals and clubs worldwide, and a trusted presence on influential labels—FSOE included—where his sound consistently delivers intensity, polish, and dancefloor impact. Rubicon feels like a statement track: confident, refined, and unmistakably Durand.
Rubicon is uplifting trance done right—energetic, emotional, and purpose-built for big systems and hands-in-the-air moments. It’s a reminder of why Richard Durand remains such a reliable force in the scene, and why his return to FSOE feels so natural.
