Burnside’s latest track, "Divided We Fall," dives deep into a fusion of techno and progressive house, pulling listeners into an intricate, emotionally charged soundscape. As an Australian-born multi-instrumentalist turned electronic music producer, Burnside brings a distinctive, globe-trotting perspective to his sound. His music has been shaped by a journey from Adelaide’s rock and metal scene to the vibrant chaos of Indian street life, and finally to the techno mecca of Berlin, where he’s found a new creative home.
In "Divided We Fall," Burnside’s unique path is unmistakable. The track merges powerful, glitchy basslines with the haunting, minimal melodies that echo Berlin’s deep techno roots. With a raw intensity and cinematic progression, this track feels like both a nod to his rock origins and a full embrace of his techno evolution. The immersive layering of analog synths and digital sounds transports listeners, capturing a story of movement and transformation that mirrors Burnside’s own life.
Since purchasing his first synthesizer, a MicroKorg XL, Burnside’s shift from guitars to synths has been complete. This transition, intensified by Berlin’s legendary electronic scene, has allowed him to forge a path all his own, where rock’s emotional grit meets techno’s relentless pulse. "Divided We Fall" is a testament to this journey, reflecting his travels and explorations across cultures and music genres. Available on all major streaming platforms, it’s a must-listen for fans of dark, progressive electronic sounds that push the boundaries of techno.
Burnside’s story is as compelling as his music—a nomadic artist influenced by cityscapes from Jaipur to Berlin, now channeling his experiences into a new chapter of solo electronic music. With "Divided We Fall," he continues to redefine what it means to blend rock’s rawness with electronic sophistication, making this track a significant addition to the progressive house and techno scenes.
