• Burns To Support Deadmau5

Name-checked as one to watch by Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Mylo, Calvin Harris, Eddie Temple Morris, DJ Mehdi and a host of blogs alike, 23-year-old Burns is the electronic wunderkind tipped to take British dance music into the next decade.

Burns will be supporting the US' biggest dance star, Deadmau5, on his North American tour, with over 30 dates covering the USA and Canada (full list of dates below).

Now a regular fixture in Hype Machine's Top 3, BURNS has been called up for remix duty by Kasabian, Empire of the Sun, Late Of The Pier, Passion Pit, Filthy Dukes, Yuksek, Melanie Fiona, Calvin Harris, and the Gossip.

BURNS 3 (Teknique EP) is the third instalment in his 4 EP series. The previous release featured Turbo and Heartbeats, (plus a Jokers Of The Scene remix of 'Turbo').

Born on Halloween 1985, he's the son of a painter mother and a professional heavyweight boxer father. Burns enjoyed a childhood spent combining amateur boxing with learning to play the piano and guitar, discovering the delights of sampling software in his spare time.

While BURNS has gained notoriety for the kind of sonic bursts associated with European stalwarts such as Justice and Boyz Noise (but stamped with the kind of rave (un)sensibility that could only come from a British upbringing), there's far more in his kitbag than all out aural assaults, hence his support from a wide range of DJs including Erol Alkan, A-Trak, DJ Mehdi, Dubfire, Don Diablo, and beyond. His ear for melody shows he can match the likes of Falke and Lindstrom note for blissful note.

The Teknique EP once again points to Burns' ability to pursue his own musical agenda through a variety of styles. Teknique is an epic dancefloor banger, with a seismic piano riff; First Move is a quirky, off kilter stride through filtered loops and effects, while In My Eyes is the latest missive from his disco arsenal, drawing comparisons with A-Trak and Armand's Duck Sauce Project. Remixes come from Fred Falke and His Majesty Andre.
