MUSIC:
Playing and making a concoction of house, techno, electro, progressive and melodic, their tracks are being supported by a wide cross section of DJs - from underground legends Laurent Garnier and Sander Klienenberg to trance superstars Armin and Tiesto, to house hero's like Pete Tong and the Swedish House Mafia.
.RADIO:
Between them they present 2 of the Galaxy Networks flagship specialist dance programs, including Andi Durant's Saturday Warmup (now the biggest and most listened to Saturday radio show in the UK) and their cutting-edge Friday night showcase for the underground, unsigned and unheard. This year Andi was also awarded his 3rd prestigious Sony Award, joining the ranks of previous winners Zane Lowe and Colin Murray as Music Broadcaster of the Year.
Recent guests and live studio interviews include Groove Armada, Deadmau5, Calvin Harris, Basement Jaxx, Carl Cox, Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Steve Angello, Axwell, Pendulum, The Prodigy, Moby and many more
GIGS & LIVE SETS:
In 2009 the boys were asked to return to their weekly residency at the worlds biggest club to warm up for Tiesto every Monday night at Privilege Ibiza. Alongside providing the alternative sound to the Music Box, Riley & Durrant rocked the legendary main room for 2 hours each week, and played to over 100,000 people over the course of the summer, at the busiest club night on planet earth.
After making their debut into the prestigious DJ Mag Top 150 in 2008, they were also voted as Britain's No. 6 in the Datatransmission UK DJ Poll, alongside Errol Alkin, Sasha, Digweed and James Zabeila.
As co-owners and promoters of the massive Electrik Playground club nights, Riley & Durrant have been touring across Europe with a regular party at the infamous Ministry of Sound in London, Privilege Ibiza and one off events at clubs and arenas around the UK. No strangers to some of the world's biggest parties and festivals, Riley & Durrant have rocked the main stages of Creamfields, Gatecrashers Summer Sound System, Godskitchen's Global Gathering and Fort Dance in St Petersberg, alongside arenas and stadiums across the UK, Russia, Asia and America.
joined by newcomer Mehrnoosh
Growing up in Ireland, with it's huge dance following, Mehrnoosh's taste in music was sealed from the moment she was old enough to realise what music was!
A little older than when she was first introduced but still very much underage, her nocturnal adventures began with forbidden nights snuck away in the infamous Lush and Shine. They provided the soundtrack for countless electronic experiences and introductions to the sounds of all the main players on the underground dance music scene.
It was only natural to want to continue the buzz of the weekend so it wasn't long before she acquired her first set of decks.......... Music, however, was not at the forefront of her career focus until early 2010 when an offer to play at the infamous Sankey's ignited the spark. International gigs followed in Miami, Ibiza and Madrid, gaining a monthly residency there.
A three city tour of India continued her global adventure and last summer in Ibiza opened the doors for sets at some of the biggest club pre-parties including Privilege and Amnesia, also d.j'ing for Pacha Ibiza on one of their U.K tours.
Her Persian heritage has been of huge influence in defining her sound.Favouring deep and driving percussive and hypnotic beats in her sets as well as in her productions.
Her first E.P gained early support from the likes of Luciano, Frivolous, M.A.N.D.Y, Hermanez and Karotte to name a few......with Mi Amor cropping up on charts within days of it's release. In this same week she was contacted by Monique Musique, Akbal Music and Wareika, all asking her to produce E.P's for their labels, which are currently underway.
With remixes from Jordan Peak, Leland Mc Williams, Darius Syrossian and Hector, these will definitely be ones to look out for!
