Biography

Burnski, also known under his alias INSTINCT, has long been a driving force in underground electronic music. Over the years he has built a reputation as both a prolific producer, DJ and a forward-thinking label head, constantly evolving his sound while shaping platforms for new music to thrive.

As Burnski, his career has spanned a variety of genres, with releases on some of the scene’s most respected imprints. His collaborative projects continue to underline his versatility, including a standout release with Kepler on Up The Stuss, and a recent collaboration with Enzo Siragusa for FUSE.

Under his INSTINCT alias, Burnski explores a more raw, garage-influenced sound. His full-length album on his own INSTINCT label cemented the project as a leading light in the UKG resurgence, pairing heavyweight rhythms with sharp production values.

Beyond the studio, he has established himself as a prolific label owner, curating and running imprints such as Constant Sound, Pilot, INSTINCT, and more—platforms that have become synonymous with quality output and a trusted source for DJs worldwide.

With an upcoming release on Rossi’s Homegrown label, Burnski / INSTINCT continues to showcase the range and depth of his artistry, moving seamlessly between aliases and projects while staying rooted in dancefloor energy.
