Five years after the release of Odes - what came to mark the end of Frank & Tony’s first incarnation - the duo of Francis Harris and Anthony Collins return with a flourish.

Ahead of their new Dream Vibration EP of Francis Harris much-renowned Scissors and Thread imprint, comes Time Out Of Mind - the perfect reintroduction to the world of Frank & Tony.

Time Out Of Mind is a woozy, drifting track given shape by its sharp percs and sub bass with melodies that harken back to early 2000’s dancefloors a la Plastic City, setting the stage for the full EP to come.

V/A 5 years of Burnin Music / Burnin Music Recordings
© & ℗ Burnin Music Ltd 2022 / BM011

2017 - 2022.

5 years of hard work in our East London studio, it's time for Burnin Music and his protagonists to celebrate with style.

We decided to contact all the artists that we came across in 5 years, whether they released on the label or not, and asked them for demos!

The quality of stuff we received was so brilliant that we moved from releasing a digital-only compilation to a vinyl record!

We are super pleased to introduce you to 8 tracks by 8 brilliant producers hailing from Tel Avi, Paris, London, Leipzig and Munich.

8 man, 8 definitions of electronic music but 1 common sound, Burnin Music.

To compliment the music we asked Theo Cerri, a talented Italian artist living in Edinburg, to design the cover.

We hope you enjoy the music as much as we had fun to put together that project.

Release party: Saturday 15 October at The Marquis, London.

There are many shades of funk in dance music. Berlin’s Toy Tonics label brings up artists that reflect many of these different aspects of dance music. Now the label comes up with a band! A band that is inspired by 1980ies New Wave as well as the Y2K Indie dance scene. Two guys and two girls from Amsterdam and Montreal called Baby’s Berserk.
Baby’s Berserk is about taking the freedom to be who you want to be, about being comfortable. Having played in all-girl punk bands since the age of 14, the bands singer Lieselot is an expert on female empowerment. “Dress like a girl and act like a boy,” is a catchphrase she lives up to every day and it clearly is a message that resonates with the band’s wild fans.
In the great tradition of Roxy Music, Throbbing Gristle and Malcolm McLaren, Baby’s Berserk is not just about the edgy music but also about a very strong own visual style. They readily blend their sounds with underground fashion. What you see is what you get and seeing Baby’s Berserk is feeling right at home. Lieselot is a visionary when it comes to stage presence. Have you always wanted to see an electronic band with a punk attitude perform wearing a mix of haute couture and Flintstone-style rags? Look no further, it’s Baby’s Berserk.
Following on the critically acclaimed singles ‘What I Mean’ (2020) and ‘Toxic Kisses’ (2022), Baby Berserk’s highly anticipated self-titled full-length is now finally about to see the light on Berlin’s Toy Tonics records. Sonically designed for gritty rock venues as well as up-to-date edgy dance clubs, Mano’s lush compositions smoothly intertwine with the highly associative lyrics written by Puggy and Lieselot. Poets and literary addicts may think they’ve just discovered the rock & roll equivalents of Sylvia Plath, Kurt Vonnegut and Allen Ginsberg. To tell you the truth: their wild guess is pretty accurate as the works by these greats lie scattered around the Baby’s Berserk studio for inspiration.
The band was born in a laboratory back in 2019. Tired of being in bands with unruly and unpredictable humans, Mano Hollestelle set out to create a group of high precision robots to create the post-punk sound he had in mind. His outdated technology of floppy disks and cassette tapes worked well to program the androids, until one day a 90s rave mixtape was mistakenly entered into his computer. House music is a feeling and the punk bots instantly got hooked on it upon hearing it for the first time. They could never be reset to factory settings again. Mano worked tirelessly with his androids, currently known by their humanoid names of Lieselot Elzinga, Puggy Beales and Eva Wijnbergen, to fulfill his evil plan to make the rockers dance and the dancers rock. Baby’s Berserk is the fiendish extension of this plot. Beware, the band’s bass driven grooves and computerized beats have been known to cast a spell upon all within earshot.
So what do the songs on ‘Baby’s Berserk’ tell you? That it’s totally fine to have lots of fun in life! To have a boyfriend as an accessory (‘Accessories’), to get inspired by Sponge Bob (‘Dancing with the Fish’) and to blend your spirits with mixers whenever the hell you feel like it (‘Rum ‘n’ Kola’).
Baby’s Berserk member Puggy Beales on ‘Limousine’: “Decant the wine from my tip jar to yours. Soon we'll be on easy street, chauffeured home from the rat race each evening. Is it everything you'd hoped it would be?”
Check not only the debut album but also the forthcoming Remix EP with remixes by Each Other, Niklas Wandt, Sam Ruffillo, Kris Baha and Nicolini.

Will Long is an American artist. He curates and manages the label Two Acorns, as well as producing music since 2005, in various forms under his own name for Terre Thaemiltz's Comatonse Recordings, and as Celer for his own label and many others. 

Here he joins the perfectly aligned Scissor and Thread label of Francis Harris and Anthony Collins for the Too Much EP. 

"Too Much" is a deep cut from the same grooves as the Long Trax series," says Will Long, "a further entry for the downtrodden, the overwhelmed, and those that think change has come. A midnight meditation of intentional simplicity, strained, and on that night train."

The title track is lush, loose deep jam that combines wistful, warm pads with an insistent groove and choice samples.  

Francis Harris steps up to provide one of his signature reforms, adding a little more percussion and drive to the track, while DJ Aakmael (Greg Stewart) offers up another version that takes the track somehow even deeper, adding some additional instrumentation and raw sounds.

Resonant Rain

“Qorax Echoes” is a house track that weaves rhythmic melodies and driving beats with radiant, atmospheric layers, capturing the echoes of the sun. Warm and hypnotic, it flows like light reverberating across the horizon—energizing the dance floor with a cosmic, glowing groove.

“Unknown”, a timeless track from In2Deep & DOTT is available for free download via Fiction lab! 

Just a few months ago, In2Deep showcased his versatility with “Jams”, a dubby vinyl EP on Lumières La Nuit. DOTT, a new artist on my radar with releases on the likes of Little Helpers also crushed his latest production "Cosmic Dancer” released on Tools and Stuff Records. The two artists merged to deliver this beautiful piece, a great addition to your arsenal of tracks. 

Very rarely do you find a track that lets you move freely, both mentally and physically. The variety of textures it brings to the dance floor combines so well with the tight percusion flow. A perfect track for those late night, early morning sets. Beautifully created with the intent to break musical boundaries.

With a deep house core architecture, the track starts off with a dreamy state of mind. In2Deep & DOTT quickly lay out a groovy percussion that provides an energy boost to the sound. A well executed bass line moves the dance floor keeping the dance aficionados alive and apprehensive. You can’t escape this track, whether you’re fan of the melancholic or you lean  more towards a rhythmically curated sound, it will keep you plugged in and rooted to the dance floor.
