Burns shines with Teknique

There was a time when blogs promised to bring democracy to culture and music. Instead of just writing about music they were sent by the major labels, bloggers gave new artists a platform and introduced new music from the underground to a wide audience.
Well, things haven’t completely changed but blogs also write about some artists that have received lots and lots of attention and can’t really be considered “underground” anymore. Some musicians have “grown up” within the blogosphere and when they release something new it’s sure to go up on some big blogs. When bloggers like something they are just like mainstream media: they continue to write about it even though it might not be the latest and most obscure act around. And it’s the right thing to do. (People are realizing that in blogland a year has 365 days too. But that’s another story.)
Within less than a year, BURNS has become a major player in blog-distributed dance music. He still produces music that I really like and there’s no reason I wouldn’t post his new track “Teknique”. It’s hot and it’s fresh. It’s the title track of BURNS’ new EP which will be released this fall.

(Of course the terms “underground” and “mainstream” have been re-defined by the rise of blogs and artists often look bigger in the blogosphere than they really are. But that’s yet another story.)
