Take a listen to “First Move” and one of the first things you’ll notice is how much the funk-oriented guitar and bass sound of Burns could be something off of Michael Jackson’s Thriller album. It’s this classic-sounding riff which helps provide the underlying theme for the song, which continues for some time before giving way to a serene interlude of thin, piercing synthesizers under a variety of lush and ambient sounds.

That’s pretty much what you get on the remix, which has the perfect formula to become a new dancehall hit—if you’re gonna steal, steal from the best. Burns unleashes a cascade of classic guitar, drum and bass sounds you might recognize on his latest EP Teknique. Some of them even resemble bad 70s/80s cop show themes, like something off the ending credits to Hardcastle and McCormick or T.J. Hooker. But Burns has remixed them into something predictable yet exciting, forging a club flavor that’s at once undeniably disco yet catchy and hip.

Burns hi-five
