BURNS ‘2′

Music | Johnny | May 27, 2009

23 year old BURNS is the electronic wunderkind tipped to take British dance music kicking and screaming into the next decade.

One limited release, key support tours, and bootlegs ranging from Altern 8 to Prince have brought him a torrent of international attention. In a scramble for some of his production gold dust, BURNS has also been called up to do remixing by the likes of Empire of the Sun, Late Of The Pier, Passion Pit, Filthy Dukes, Yusek, Melanie Fiona, Calvin Harris,and The Gossip.

2 (‘Turbo’/’HeartBeats’), is the second installment in his series of four singles.

These being BURNS’ ‘1′ / ‘2′ / ‘3′ / ‘4′, the title being representative of the number of tracks on each release.
Further tracks will be issued later this year, before a debut album in 2010.

The first of the single series for BURNS saw the UK April release of ‘DISKO’ - a thrilling statement of intent and a distorted monster of a track, which blasted out of radios and clubs, and introduced the arrival of a major new talent.

On one hand BURNS unleashes the kind of sonic bursts associated with European stalwarts such as Justice, but stamped with rave (un)sensibility On the other, he has a ear for melodic beauty.

This release perfectly captures both sides of the BURNS enigma:

‘Turbo’ has the kind of grimey, rave-inflected bass that has earned him the support of DJs ranging from Erol Alkan, A-Trak DJ Mehdi, to Dubfire and Don Diablo.

‘Heartbeats’ is his seductive love note, complete with a ‘reach for the lasers’ riff writ large across it.
