Electronic music isn't ready for Burton L, and frankly he doesn't give a fuck. In fact, his irreverent attitude is one of the most refreshing aspects of his music, which blends everything from chilled-out downtempo to hyperactive house, and even rock and hip-hop with zero regard for genre conventions. Revolutionary Music first spotted Burton rocking a downtempo set on two Powerbooks and a mixer at a party at Chicago's infamous Illmeasures loft (headquarters for the DJ crew of the same name). We watched as he turned the room upside down with a sick hybrid style of music we couldn't quite put a finger on. When posed the question 'Who made this track,' Burton replied, 'they are all mine.' It was at that moment we knew we had to sign him. (From the press release by Omega Point Records...) A musical double agent working the dancehall circuit as a DJ/Live PA and the rock clubs as a singer/guitarist, BUrton L. creates music that combines deep, hypnotic rhythms and synthesizer lines with smooth guitar licks, intricate vocal harmonies - even some real horns and strings. Though known around his native Chicago primarily for spinning house, drum n' bass, and downtempo sets at some of the city's swankier nightclubs, Burton's rock material reveals his secret identity a a fast-fingered guitarist, skillful songwriter, and a gifted singer with a voice equal parts gravelly and golden. Like Beck, John Spencer, and Moby, Burton L. bundles together countless branches of the genre tree, proving that electronic sounds and rock roots can - and should - go together.
