Electrosoul System

Electrosoul System is the stage name of Andrey Burtaev. He is a Moscow-based producer working in drum & bass, jungle and liquid funk. Burtaev produces original material, releases remixes and performs live DJ sets from Moscow in the Russian Federation.

Burtaev started producing at age 14. He co-founded the Kos.Mos.Music label and later took on running duties for both Kos.Mos.Music and Kos.Mos.Music.Lab. Those label activities sit alongside his work as a recording artist and live performer.

On record, Electrosoul System has released an LP titled Flawless plus various EPs and remixes. His catalogue includes releases and remixes on Kos.Mos.Music as well as on outside labels such as Fokuz, Med School / Hospital-related releases and Soul Deep. He appears on both his own imprint and on labels known for liquid and deep DnB output.

As a producer, his sound leans toward liquid funk and melodic drum & bass with jungle-tinged rhythms. Production techniques you can hear across his releases include layered atmospheric pads and wet reverb on top-lines, clear sub-bass that holds the low end while midrange basses add movement, and focused drum work where snares and high hats are given tight transient shaping. Breaks are often edited for rolling forward motion rather than raw, untouched amen edits; percussion is arranged to leave space for melodic elements. The arrangements favour warm chord work and melodic motifs over harsh, distorted timbres, while remixes show a readiness to rework beats and basslines to fit a liquid or soulful template.

Specific signature elements across Electrosoul System records include sustained, soft-edged pads that sit above the mix, concise sub-bass lines that keep the track grounded, and vocal chops or sampled phrases used sparingly as hooks. On tracks labelled more jungle-influenced he adopts faster break patterns and staccato percussion; on his liquid funk cuts the emphasis is on harmonic movement and clean mixdowns that keep drums crisp and bass controlled.

In performance he presents as a recording artist who also DJs live. His sets draw on his production palette: tracks with melodic centres, tight drum edits and weight in the sub frequencies. He plays material from Kos.Mos.Music alongside releases on Fokuz, Med School/Hospital-related releases and Soul Deep, and his live role frequently intersects with his label work.

Public sources do not list a definitive roster of personal influences by name. What can be verified is his output and label affiliations: a career that began in adolescence, the LP Flawless, multiple EPs and remixes, releases on Kos.Mos.Music, Fokuz, Med School/Hospital-related releases and Soul Deep, and his operational role running Kos.Mos.Music and Kos.Mos.Music.Lab while remaining active as both a recording artist and live DJ.
