Willie Burns (geddit?) is one alias of a certain William T Burnett (of the excellent NY-based W.T. Records). He's got some new tracks coming out on The Trilogy Tapes, a London record label run by Will Bankhead (Honest Jons and Hyperdub graphic designer, the man behind those famed Actress record sleeves amongst many other things). Willie Burn's also released well decent stuff in a similar housed-off vein on L.I.E.S. and Creme Organization (although the L.I.E.S. release is the one to look out for).
The Trilogy Tapes seems to be a satisfying secretive label. There's not a great deal of information about them which is unusually cryptic and very very appealing in this day and age. TTT has been home to some really ace releases, Joy Orbison's massive 'Ellipsis' and Dean Blunt (from Hype Williams)'s limited cassette tape release of late last year, 'Jill Scott Herring OST'. There's also a new Blawan out on there, a Madteo cassette and a punk compilation. Loads of good stuff.
Anyway, back to these Willie Burns tracks. The two that have gone up on Soundcloud already are both nice but my favourite is Duh Duh Dunk, below. The EP will be called The Overlord, and is due out soon. Check out The Trilogy Tapes website.
