Cookin' on 3 Burners are an Australian funk trio from Melbourne, consisting of Jake Mason, Dan West and Ivan Khatchoyan. Their 2009 song "This Girl" was remixed by French DJ and record producer Kungs and released in February 2016, peaking at number one in France, Germany, Belgium, Hungary, Latvia, Scotland and number 2 on the UK Singles Chart.
Originally made up of Hammond organ player Jake Mason, guitarist Lance Ferguson, and drummer Ivan Khatchoyan, the trio formed in 1997. In 2000 they released Steamed Up on the Newmarket Music label. The instrumental album features Melbourne-based guitarist Matt Kirsch. In 2002 the ensemble released their first 7" single, "Gravel Rash/Pie Warmer" on the Bamboo Shack label and in 2005 they signed to Knowfoowl Records (for Australia and New Zealand) and UK-based label Freestyle Records (ROW).
Their first album on Freestyle and Knowfoowl Records, Baked, Broiled & Fried, was released in 2007. The 13-track album included 11 instrumentals and two vocal tracks featuring Kylie Auldist and Fallon Williams. The album featured a reworking of The Gorillas' track "Feel Good Inc.", which also became popular with the B-boy community. The trio toured and performed alongside acts such as Alice Russell, Quantic, Fat Freddy’s Drop, and Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings.
In 2009, Cookin' on 3 Burners released their second album, Soul Messin'. The record received praise for its cover of Gary Numan's song, "Cars" while the album's lead single, "This Girl", featuring Kylie Auldist on vocals, reached the number one spot on the UK iTunes R&B chart.
