UPFRONTBEATS

UK-based talent James Burton delivers an inspired debut on Sola Eclipse with a striking two-tracker – Broken Biscuits.

Kicking things off, ‘Broken Biscuits’ gives a showcasing welcome to Burton’s unique sonic palate with a blend of deepened tones and thick beats. Punchy drums and wobbly tonal percs combine with shuffling hat grooves and a rolling bassline as the track undulates through an array of resonant frequencies and quirky funk-filled melodic runs. A certified hip-shaker from the outset, this one is guaranteed to get your feet stomping from start to finish.

‘Welcome To The Darnce’ rounds off the release with more underground delights. Another amalgamation of rough and ready drum grooves and rippling percussion pave the way for more catchy sub-bass tones and jazz-inspired playful musicality. Endlessly engaging and undeniably creative, it’s the second of two standout cuts from Burton.

Burton is quickly establishing himself as one of the scene’s most promising, up and coming producers; fresh from a string of hot releases on Skream’s ‘OF Unsound Mind’, Hot Sunday & Street Tracks. Gathering heavy support from the likes of Skream, Solardo, Richy Ahmed & Patrick Topping.

A breakout moment for James came in the form of a world premiere from Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1. His eclectic style has seen him grace the decks at some of the UK and Europe’s finest dance music institutions: Eden, Sankeys, Ibiza Rocks, DC-10 and more.
