That Gushi Stuff

When it comes to disco grooves, funky breakdowns and ungodly builds, nobody tops the legendary duo that is Duck Sauce; that is, until I discovered Burns. Fellow CAD writer Skinny Genes was blessed enough to witness Burns open an astounding set for Treasure Fingers last Friday at the Avalon. Thanks to finals, I was left at the library with nothing but my books, a pen, and a jealous grin. Nonetheless I give you, Burns.

Reinventing the entire genre, 24-year-old Burns is pushing the envelope of funk and house. After completing a US tour with Deadmau5 and a UK tour with Calvin Harris, Burns put the final touches on his EP, ‘Turbo/Heartbeat’. He’s remixed the likes of The Black Eyed Peas, Wolfmother, Ladyhawke, and Frankmusik with no signs of slowing down. Burns’ music has a very special attribute; you can practically feel the Daft Punk influence coursing through the funk; he’s keeping it disco, disco. Give me that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushi stuff!
