Sinchi & Friends 45 invites @Buran_uk from Manchester. The duo has made quite a name for themselves in the last year with some excellent productions on the likes of Night Noise, Det Sync and Roam alongside Heretic. We're big fans of their sound and reckon they're one of the hottest upcoming producers to keep an eye on. Get to know them a little more below...
1) Who are you?
We are Ian and Joe, we work together under the name Buran. We’ve been producing music together for years including some commercial stuff and another project.
2) What have been your highlights from the last 12 months?
We have had an interesting 12 months – we were house mates for many years and had pretty serious studio in the house. This year we have finally stopped living together and so have split the studio and gear down the middle taking a dedicated setup each and bouncing elements back and forth. It’s been a learning experience but very positive over all. Musically we have been working with Timothy ‘Heretic’ Clerkin a bit and that has been mega fun too. We’ve also recently bought some more Elektron gear, that is proving really inspirational which is good because we can’t afford to eat now.
3) What do you have lined up for the coming year?
Out next release ‘Grid Squares’ is due on Night Noise in early September – we’ve got a huge remix from Oli Warriner on there so we are mega excited about that. Beyond that release we have a couple of bits coming up – we are sort of sitting on some really groovy minimal / progressive stuff. That’s an EP we will be finding a home for soon we hope... We also have more stuff with Timothy Clerkin currently underway – that is going to be good. Finally, we are working on a very analogue, hardware based EP which we are writing using the latest iteration of our live rig – expect to hear some of that soon – we’ve only restarted it about 3 times which is good for us.
