Biography of Burnski

Spending most of his waking hours experimenting with new sounds, James Burnham is a serious studio head and at just 20 years old it's obvious that this guy has also got some serious talent. Born in 1986 in the North Eastern industrial town of Hartlepool - a make your own entertainment kind of place ' Burnski set about doing just that. At the tender age of 13, he skipped his science exam and set off with his Dad to buy some second hand decks he found advertised in the Hartlepool Mail. Feeding a vinyl addition with his paper round money, Burnski built up his collection making sure he was hearing a broad spectrum of new music, this coupled with spending many an 'educational' hour on the floor of the Middleborough Empire and later regularly traveling south to clubbing institution Basics in Leeds. Since releasing his first record on Simon Baker's top quality imprint Infant, Burnski has already been picked up by several other labels, such as Morris Audio, Exquisite Music, Bay Street Recordings as well as cool German imprint Trapez. Burnski's sound has gone down really well in Germany and since the release of his 'Coldcut' EP on Trapez, he has built up quite a fan base over there, which has led to regular DJ dates at Berlin's famous Watergate club. His talents haven't gone unnoticed closer to home either, as he has also picked up a Basics residency along the way and more dates at some of the UK's coolest clubs such as The Key, The End, The Egg, TDK festival and Sankey's Soap.
