Burnski 'DNA' (Constant Sound)
Incredibly, babyfaced producer Burnski has now been kicking out the jams for more than a decade. In that time he’s evolved from making minimal fair to flirting with a creamier Hot Creations vibe. Since starting his Constant Sound label with mate Jon Woodall, he’s settled into a deep but driving, dubbed-out and grainy house and techno style aimed at at the head as much as the heel. There’s a real timelessness to the tracks here, which range from slick electro to Detroit techno via Basic Channel-influenced dub. It is, you suspect, the sound of a producer truly at home; one making the music he wants rather than the music he thinks people want to hear, and for that reason it excels.
