An enigmatic yet moody techno track, Burko makes returns with a new summer single, “Dark Matter,” dropping via There Is a Light Records on July 22nd.
Following the release of his previous EPs Infrared and Can’t Stay Here, “Dark Matter” is a showcase of the San Diego producer’s versatility as he continues to ascend the house music ranks with his modern and charismatic take on the genre.
“‘Dark Matter’ explores the relationship between silence and heavy synths, as can be heard in the bridge after the first drop. This was the first time I used analog gear in any of my tracks via the newly acquired Prophet 6 synthesizer. RIP Dave Smith.” – Burko
A sublime techno-house track, “Dark Matter” is yet another defining statement single from Burko. Showing skillful contrast with captivating basslines and deep sensual vocals, the rising producer is on a mission to transform opinions on house music and its infinite capabilities.
The aptly-titled single draws listeners in from the start with its addicting melody, akin to the gravitational forces that discern the very existence of dark matter itself. This celestial talent is a scientist of sound, expressing himself through the intertwining worlds of science and music while effortlessly composing tracks filled with technical excellence and creative wonder.
Born David Burkow, San Diego-based producer Burko has taken over the SoCal scene by storm with his uniquely dark-yet-melodic style of house and techno. Beginning his production journey only a few years ago, Burko’s music has been picked up and played by many established DJ’s including Kyle Watson, Steve Darko, Wongo, Londonbridge and SNBRN. Key early support from heavy weights allowed for Burko to sail to the forefront of California’s burgeoning underground scene in a very short order. In 2021, Burko headlined the iconic Spin Nightclub, Bang Bang and played the Grand Artique Stage at Insomniac’s Beyond Wonderland Festival.
2022 sees Burko rolling out his debut EP, titled Infrared — a 4-track tour de force highlighting the producer’s unequaled style of “Medieval House” music. Thus far, the EP has been met with critical acclaim from Your EDM, Run The Trap and Spotify’s Friday Cratediggers and Operator playlists.
Keep an eye out, as Burko continues his meteoric rise into a fully-fledged global artist.
