- Jonny Burnip's career so far has been marked by a fondness for Chicago house originals, but he also has a healthy disregard for convention that takes his productions somewhere else entirely. It's five years since the Londoner released King Of the Witches, one of the more interesting releases on DFA in recent years. It was warm, tech-flavoured disco, a style he's been finessing ever since, with releases for the likes of Unknown To The Unknown.
Capracara launches the One Day Wonder label with a pair of tracks that are among his more conventional offerings. The Aphex Twin-esque title of "Fake Drukqs" is misleading—Burnip instead dips back into high-stepping Mills-ian techno, replete with laser bursts, spanking pianos and EQ tweaking. It's Duracell-Bunny energy levels are carried over to "Blue Balloon," but here Burnip switches tack, building muscular house out of garagey hi-hats, distorted vocal loops and frazzled bass synths. There's a lot to like about Capracara's punchy approach to production.
