Burnski

Real Name:
James Burnham
Profile:
Burnski is an exciting, young artist for whom the future holds untold possibilities. By night, he holds down a DJ residency at one of the UK’s outstanding club nights and by day, he is a tireless and imaginative producer who, each day, rarely misses as an opportunity to experiment with sounds from his subterranean studio bunker in the north of England.

Laying down a marker from his very first release back in 2005 on the highly respected Trapez label, Burnski has continually upped his game and is now a regular contributor on Morris/Audio, 2020 Vision and, most recently, delivering a succession of highly rated offerings on sister labels Poker Flat and Dessous.

The latter half of 2009 will seen several prime time remixes emerge from the Burnski production house, for Immigrant Records, Poker Flat and on Milton Jackson’s emerging Dark Energy label. On top of this, the next batch of eagerly awaited releases include ‘Old School Swing’ on Plastic City, and his follow-up EP for Dessous ‘The Light’, which is slated for an autumn release.

As a DJ, Burnski is a steadfast vinyl advocate always armed with a bag of fresh music. His sets are intuitive and trained by the versatility of his residency at Leeds’ legendary Back to Basics, whose hedonistic and party-centric crowd are used to receiving the world’s best underground DJ’s on a weekly basis. Switching from warm deep house to groovy peak time techno, he is capable of showcasing a wide variation of sounds across the spectrum from jazz, disco, electro, dub, house, minimal and techno - a style now familiar to some of some of the most established clubs in Europe such as Fabric, Watergate in Berlin, The Loft, Barcelona as well a particularly memorable rooftop DJ set in the skies above Beirut.

His long awaited North American debut is also scheduled for late 2009. The world awaits..
