BURNS PLAYS THE CONGRESS THEATER THIS FRIDAY 11/20.

In the club world, getting your song remixed by Fred Falke is the equivalent of Jesus himself descending on your warehouse party and licking your eyeball in appreciation of good electro.

Such is the honor bestowed on BURNS, who’s track “First Move” off of the Tecknique EP, received the Falke-First-Ask-Questions-Later treatment earlier this year.  BURNS is doubly-blessed by touring with Deadmau5, whose reputation for killer beats was substantial enough to draw Lollapaloozers away from Sunday night headliners this year to the consistently impressive DJ Tent.

But BURNS himself is no Extenze — that is, all hype with questionable results — he has a killer feel for club music.  He deftly swaps genres with a turgid middle-finger to dance label snobs.  “Tecknique” starts the EP with loops you’d expect from a Matthew Dear track,  while the bass and obligatory femme vocal sample fit it squarely in modern House.  Two tracks later “In My Eyes” illuminates its thumps with enough funky clips and cuts that make you think he threw his turntables out the window and bought a laptop… because he wanted to make something real.
