Burnski – Draw Your Own Sword EP | Single Review

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009 | Single Review

burnskiBurnski is a young whipper snapper from Leeds. Aged 23 and he’s already seen a variety of his tracks released on labels such as Dessous, Morris Audio, Trapez and home label 20:20 Vision. He’s also resident at one of the country’s longest running club nights Back to Basics. A few strings to his bow I think you’ll find.

For his release on Pokerflat, Burnski has combined the deepness of Chicago house with an electronic and spacey palette to create this three track EP. Title track Draw Your Own Sword takes a Chicago style skipping beat with bellowing sub bass and gives it a slight twist with the massive plunging piano keys and trickling synths. A similar style is used on Sleep. The beats are slightly chunkier but the same ethos is there. The rest of the track is made up of washy pads and hollow keys to give it that classic twilight deep house vibe. Finally Mud and Mouse has a more upbeat approach using a rounder more prominent bassline which is accompanied by more skipping beats and a distinct see-saw accordion melody.

The result is unfortunately a mediocre package. All three tracks are middle of the road house with little to get excited about. It’s well produced with some interesting sounds, but lacks a spark to get you really involved.

Tracklisting:
1. Draw Your Sword (6:25)
2. Sleep (7:44)
3. Mud And Mouse (6:53)
