Instinct
For a good few years, James Burnham has been carving out his own take on the recent UK garage revival currently permeating club music. Operating under the alias INSTINCT, he’s honed a sound that marries the 2-step tempo of artists like Dem 2 with a minimal and tech house twist, resulting in a string of dancefloor bombs that are now fetching silly money on the second-hand market. Burnham is, of course, in a good position to master this hybrid style: while UKG has been his primary modus operandi for the last few years, he’s been putting out slick four-to-the-floor cuts for more than a decade, mostly under the guise Burnski. He’ll be channeling INSTINCT at the Record Store on the Sunday.
