James Burnski Burnham is one of the UKs most prolific and talented house producers. Having already contributed a run of beautifully created records to the Dessous and Poker Flat catalogue, its time for his next elegantly crafted EP - >Sometimes Takes Longer< on Dessous.
Title track ‘Sometimes Takes Longer’ fuses casual, classic deep house drums with a totally hypnotic synth theme, surrounded by liquid percussion, fantastic panning and filtered spacial effects and story telling elements. The track builds in the great tradition of true late night, atmosphere setting deep house. Looking to the B side, ‘There’s A Culprit’ swaggers along nicely with a post-chicago jack and a ballsy hook to boot. Burnksi’s characteristic clean production and fine detailing set this tracky jam on fire, with its unique layered approach. Finally the key-led house vibes of ‘Watch Out’ phase on to the scene. Pumping and energetic, it’s also another great story track, leading us deep into the night with powerful syncopated rhythms, heavy reverb swells and inventive moments in the arrangement.
