About

So Durand is an Ottawa based Canadian music producer and DJ, who draws inspiration from various sources beyond traditional genres. His work is heavily influenced by Grime, Club (Baltimore Club, Jersey Club, Ballroom), Jungle, and anything deconstructed.

Known for his unorthodox percussion and moody undertones, he has played along the likes of Hudson Mohawke, Cashmere Cat, Tchami, Keys N Krates, and Nadus to name a few.

However, in 2017, rather than capitalizing on his momentum from playing numerous live shows, he took a step back to further his studies and become a father, which gave him the opportunity to re-explore his craft as an experimental artist.

"His skills on the decks are unparalleled – he’s played with everyone from Hudson Mohawke to Cashmere Cat. He’s got incredible production that rivals his beatmatching prowess, creating tunes that defy genre and experiment with new sonic textures." (saintaudio.com)

"So Durand is your new favorite producer, you just don’t know it yet. He’s making music that I wish Sinjin Hawke and Cashmere Cat were still putting out; dark, entrancing, club thumpers that are complex and evocative..." - Staley Sharples (Chicago's 1833.fm)
