Burnski is a young whipper snapper, born in 1986 in a small industrial town in the chilly depths of north east England. Emerging from a seaside town renowned for not much more than smog & fish shops, he preferred to spend his time locked away in his studio experimenting with sounds.
In his college days at the age of 16, James would spend his Friday nights in the Empire club in Middlesbrough, where his college mate Oli Faulkner would play the warm up sets for all the big DJ names at the time. The young James Burnham would record every set and this would soon begin to direct and broaden his influences.
It was at this age he began producing music himself. Fast forward a couple of years down the line and James had found his own musical niche. He would spend most days in the studio, but other than that you would catch him either playing records, tinkling keys on his piano, or lighting fires.
Playing piano over the years, he carries a very large interest in all forms of composition. James has now found his way on the electronic scene. James finds himself representing a wide variation of sounds across the spectrum, playing a little bit of everything from jazz, trip hop, disco, electro, dub, house, minimal & techno, adjusting his sound for the night in question, always armed with a bag of fresh music, healthy for any hour of the night.
At the age of 20 Burnski was booked to play at the legendary Back to Basics in Leeds. This made him the youngest main room guest to play there in the 16 years the club has been run. It was a year later he was asked to become the new resident at the club, playing on a monthly basis. Such a massive achievement as anyone who is familiar with the history of Back to Basics would know.
He has made appearances at some of the best clubs in Europe, at Watergate, The Key, The End, TDK festival & Sankeys. His own productions are currently providing a fitting representation of quality on offer amongst the new breed of English producers today. With his music out on Trapez, Morris Audio, Infant Records, Exquisite Music, 2020 vision and an album in the works, Burnski is on his way, offering his very own interpretation to the music scene.
