Orlando Voorn is one of the first European musicians to establish a vital link with Detroit, and since the end of the 80s has proven himself as one of the most original and inventive producers
of electronic music. It’s an understatement to say we’re honoured to have him on Burek’s 20th release.

The EP consists of 5 tracks and, perhaps unsurprisingly for a producer with more than 30 years worth of releases and more projects than you can remember, it touches on many colours of
house music. From first to last second, this record moves from old funk samples to shades of early Detroit futurism in a brilliantly executed dance floor manner. Orlando’s “Soul Society EP”
respectfully nods to genre’s roots while keeping focus firmly on the future.

PYTZEK_FORBIDDEN DANCE RADIO MIX

After nearly a year has passed by - and kitted out with heavy hitting drum timbres, hook laden nuances and a textured palette of unique effects - South African born Esa makes a welcome return to the Burek family fold with another EP that skirts the boundaries of the dance-floor and soaks up the sights and sounds of those on the peripheral edges. 

A family that’s consisted of many strays and deviants being welcomed in, Esa’s EP is another mellifluous fit for the Croatian based house label that prides itself on beats that drip with greasy flavour and a fine follow on from his killer ‘Serenity In a Forbidden Place’ EP for the label in July of 2013.

EP opener ‘Time Of Planck’ is the first collaborative production between Esa and classically trained multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Bennett.  Laying vocals atop deconstructed, radiating cosmic transmissions, Esa cautiously adds the reverberating oscillators to maximum effect over a washed out, hazy groove, while Bennett also provides tinkling key stabs. 
Paradox Jaz (Recover) plays further on the synth tapestries and relaxing organ overtones, following a traditional Detroit journey before gradually stepping up-tempo for a cantering, melody-led approach to the intricate details of a modern electronic jazz record.
Flip over for B-side opener Placid Universe, a light and dainty continuation of the previous side’s atmospheric, worldly undertones before clicking snares and bulbous, low-end bass lines and acid squelches force their way into earshot.
Drama Queen – perhaps the most schizophrenically visualized out of the collection – draws the EP to a close in attention seeking fashion, juxtaposing and flitting between light xylophone riffs and seething, pulsing and hell raising bass stabs, offering a resonating close to Esa’s latest 4 track pack of all-original, hot-off-the-grill analogue productions.

Burek Podcast #14 - GROBEL

For our latest Burek podcast we have a skilfully layered journey into various shades of house and techno from our man Information Ghetto.

With releases on fine labels like Get Physical, 3rd Wave Music, Broque, PRO-TEZ and Multi-Vitamins, and our very own Barba print, Denis is after two decades still very musically active. When not performing live as Clapan, he delves into various dubbed-out and industrialized soundscapes when producing as Information Ghetto. Working with both analogue and digital equipment using a live-jam ‘on the fly’ methodology, his emotional control and talent for audio manipulation stands out.

The Burek podcast series returns to the cloud, this time brought to you by the amazing French house and techno meisters supremes - Les Yeux Orange.

Les Yeux Orange started early 2013, when Noctambulo and Humangigz teamed up to share their passion of electronic music with the world. Long time record collectors and DJs, both based in Paris, they started off by uploading all sorts of electronic music on their inhexaustible youtube channel and sharing podcasts by DJs such as Willie Burns, Intergalactic Gary, Mick Wills and many others. Joined in 2014 by two young producers, LeonxLeon and Alan Dente, they organised memorable parties with I-F, Yan Wagner, Albion, Sacha Mambo, Aroy Dee and Beppe Loda to name but a few. In 2015, they started a monthly radio show to promote new electronic music and featured many exclusive “premieres” of upcoming releases. Rapidly going viral, Les Yeux Orange are now invited to play all over France and in the UK and will soon launch their own record label.

Urulu has given us a live recorded mix for our podcast series which blends house vibes with a smidgeon of deep house into a spaced out mix of starry wonderment.  He has steadily produced since he  caught the ear of Berlin's Dirt Crew, known for releases by Mano Le Tough and Detroit Swindle. He'd go on to drop critically acclaimed releases on respected imprints such as NYC's Let's Play House as well as taste making UK outlets.


Burek Podcast #28 - URULU


Pomalo, means 'take it easy' in Croatian Dalmatia region's slang, is the latest addition to the Burek/Barba family.

A 12" by CL Dawkins titled 'Affirmation Of Love' comes as a wonderful postcard from Detroit. Written and produced by Alex Israel, remixed by Amp Fiddler, and with a vocal contribution by Lavell Williams, the record features three different generations of Detroit artists.

Alex Israel, here debuting his CL Dawkins moniker, is a mechanical engineer and synth aficionado with a deep respect for soul music. 
Since 2011, Alex has released a string of successful releases under his real name on labels such as Creme Organization, Stilove4music, Night Gallery and W.T. Records.

In tune with the mood and title of the label, Alex delivers two mid-tempo jams which are hard to ignore. 'Affirmation Of Love' is a soulful tune that works equally as the last song of the night, in your living room, or at a boat party. 
Mr. Williams, whose vocals envelop the song, is vice president of the Detroit Sound Conservancy, an organisation deeply involved with Detroit's musical heritage education.

CL's second tune on the record is 'Blue Falconry', an instrumental with a subtle synth line reminiscent of Alex's previous work threading through the whole length.

Finally, Amp Fiddler contributes his take on the vocal cut. Fiddler's career connects the worlds of George Clinton, Sly and Robbie, Prince, and Brand New Heavies to artists like Moodymann, J Dilla, Theo Parrish, and A Tribe Called Quest. 
A one-man musical hub, and an artist whose impressive biography would take up more space than we have here, spins the title with a dancefloor edge while retaining all the things we love about the original, a soulful Detroit house take that leaves a lasting impression...

CL Dawkins feat. Lavell Williams - Affirmation Of Love (Amp Fiddler Amplified Remix)

Elizabeth Merrick-Jefferson is one of those artists who seem low-key. There’s not a lot of information about her, if any, except for the existence of the first two records and a lone interview. One released in 2013 and the other in 2014. Listening to either record tells you her music might be a lot of things, but low-key isn’t one of them. Powerful and colourful, direct, and with 313 references embedded in its DNA, she pulls it off with style.

Elizabeth’s third record is no exception. It has found its home on our mothership label, Burek.

“Three Happiness” is tailor-made for the dance floor. It won’t leave anyone with a pulse standing. Playful synths, wonderful strings, and infectious groove make it impossible to ignore.

“Knowledge Revolution” is layered and paced, painting a somewhat different picture. Melancholy and a sense of mystery envelop this track, whose leitmotif vocal appears just frequently enough to provide insight into the title.

The last track of this EP is fittingly titled “Noctilucent Clouds”. It's a drumless track with a rhythmic main synth counterpointed by sounds which give off the impression of clouds shining through the darkness of winter nights.

Another amazing release from Burek.

PYTZEK - Acid Whump

We cannot last long without funk, so here it is, a man behind Casual Monday night at Croatian legendary Masters club, LukadeLux recorded a laid back mix of jazz, funk, soul, disco and ex yu rarities. Let the ride begin!

Burek Podcast #36 - LukadeLux

After numerous successful records on Ron Trent's "Future Vision" label, Volcov's "Neroli", DeepArtsound, Perpetual Rhythms, Osunlade's "Yoruba", and many others - "About U" is Trinidadian Deep's first release for Croatian label Burek.

Born and raised on the island of Trinidad and Tobago, today a place this producer calls "home" is found on various locations scattered all over the globe and a variety of influences is what is immediately evident by rich sounds and textures engraved onto this piece of vinyl.

A side, "I Want" is the most laid-back moment, in lack of a better term. Warm-sounding tribal percussions supporting the interaction of deep chords and wonderfully lush synths running thought the whole track only to get enriched with a beautiful piano line in the 2nd half. If there is track fitting to represent the sunset, that transition from day to night moment - "I Would" is the one.

B1 "Ghost" is the track on the record with the most forward-momentum. Deep tribal rhythms and lush synth lines are a sort-of a leitmotif on this record and are present here as well, with an occasional vocal snippet that only deepens the magic.

B2 "Abourisha" makes good use of those leitmotifs in a similarly effective but overall quite different manner. Broken rhythm gives it a slightly different energy, making it an ideal track for those 5 am moments when a track like this marks the night.

Reworking a big tune is never a simple task, especially if after 7 years the tune in question is still one of the highlights in
shows of one of the worlds most beloved live act performers, KiNK.
That’s only half of the story though, as the tune got a lot of love from so many DJ’s all over the globe.
However, for the 17th burek release, we wanted to do something really special and what could be better than giving new
life to a piece of music which literally gave life to our label. And we gathered some very interesting people for the job.
A1 KiNK - Leko (Kink’s Bass Shake Version) is a rework by none other thank KiNK himself. The original is a party
monster as it is, so Strahil opted for an alternative approach that sheds an interesting light on a familiar song. Huge
resonating bassline

A2. In 2013 KiNK had an successful E.P. with Rachel Row called Follow The Step which had a major impact on both of
their careers. Later while touring with Rachel she had an idea to put some vocals on top of the first Leko track, which
now turned into a completely different, slow track with the familiar piano melody.

B1 KiNK - Leko (Session Victim Remix) is a wonderfully subdued take on the original. It keeps all the main elements we
all know and love, and enriches them with a more percussive feel, well placed guitar licks and an overall easier mood. All
that said, don’t make a mistake with thinking this is something for the living room as this one’s made for those special
daytime/sunset/sunrise moments when a tune like this turns the situation into something everyone will take home with
them.
B2 KiNK - Leko (Original Version) is the tune, in all it’s glory and attitude. Full-fledged peak time house track which turns
every party into a steaming pit of bodies asking for more. Too hot to ignore.

Burek 004 Toby Tobias - Running Away (Homeboy dub) (128 kbps snippet)

Burek family welcomes Detroit house don Javonntte into their circle with four infectious house bangers spread across the whole spectrum of the genre. This record has something for each part of the night, from the easy mood setting vibes to soulful bangers and straight up jacking peak time tracks that will make you sweat. ‘Tomorrow’, the opening cut, is the best example of the latter and the track’s vocal sample “strictly underground” is well earned. This pure head-bang house track will give you a run for your money. A side is concluded with ‘Journey’, a proper soulful house track which keeps all of its energy in spite of a slightly more subtle approach. ‘No One Like You’ is the first one on the flip and is a prime example of just how much soul and depth can a house banger have and Javonntte excels here both as a producer and a vocalist. Closing track ‘Enter The Disco’ is a slower, disco-sampled jam, perfect for that in-between time in the club when the action’s about to happen.

Snuff Crew presents Snuffo - Missing You (All The Time) (Juju & Jordash Remix)

The cat is out of the bag about one of the forthcoming Burek 12"s, an EP by Glasgow's own Esa Williams with a superb remix by Edinburgh's Fudge Fingas providing the topping on the cake. In the lead up to this release we're really chuffed that the Prime Numbers and Firecracker alumni has supplied us with the third installment in the Burek podcast series. Combining old and new with a dash of his own material, it's an exploration of Atlantic-spanning deep house with a large dose of wonky robo-boogie that really expresses his muse and shows his in-depth understanding and appreciation of music for the body and soul.
