Our man Burns is releasing his first EP of 2011 and it is sounding amazing, a cacphony of in-your-face electro and techno – were glad to see he’s moving his sound on in 2011.

‘Midknight’ is definitely the stand out track for us, although we’ve only heard the previews, but it’s all sounding very promising indeed.

We’ve been banging our drum for Burns for a while now, he’s certainly the most promising talents to come out of Scotland since Mylo and possibly William Wallace. Well, he’s not content with owning the blogs, he wants world domination. So what’s the best way to do that ? Get a frenchie involved of course. And he’s chosen quite a good one. None-other than Fred Falke. And this new Franco-Scottish alliance has created “Y.S.L.M” (YOU STOPPED LOVING ME).

Falke, we’re sure needs no introductions, he’s worked with the likes of Goldfrapp, Kelis, Pet Shop Boys and Mini Viva. He continues to be an in-demand remixer too, having recently reworked Robyn, Example, Florrie, La Roux, The Gossip and White Lies.

Remixes for ‘Y.S.L.M. (You Stopped Loving Me)’ come from Burns, Linus Loves, Treasure Fingers, and Rynecoligist.

Scottish electro head Burns has just dropped his first ever mix compilation CD, called European Sex Music, it’s a 2 CD affair and shows the young Scotsman’s talents as a DJ and producer.

His compilation is a tribute to debauchery, trashed hotel rooms, love bites, broken hearts, and lost weekends, and the 2 CD’s capture the rising star’s life on the road.

The first CD see’s Burns in full DJ mode, mixing thumping electro with a real flair and precision – the opening salvo’s are despatched with usual flair of a electro artist at the top of his game.

His combination of ‘Transmission’ and ‘Heavy Cross’ brought a big smile on our face and sets the CD on a steady incline, taking in cuts from The Gossip, Zombie Nation, Jan Driver to name a few.

The second CD is a more an eclectic affair and brings it down a notch or two – and quite right to, as the first CD doesn’t deal any eclectic compromises.

This CD is the perfect accompaniment to anyone who wants to prepare for a big Saturday night – big tracks, big bass and lashings of electro energy.

Burns is certainly someone to keep an eye out for and we for one can’t wait for his debut album, which we should see by the end of the year.

HBF Rating 8/10
