Burial
Antidawn
(Hyperdub)
THE debut album from Burial in 2006 came from the conceptual viewpoint of south London being flooded and overrun by the Thames river. It represented a milestone in left field experimental dub step. Few in the genre were not deeply affected by it and put Hyperdub, the label behind Burial, centre stage.
The album Untrue in 2007, equally unique and since then a series of EPs, 12inch releases and the Tunes 2011-2019 collection. Work with Four Tet and Thom Yorke and in December 2020 Chemz, a rave-inspired fusion of breaks, UK garage, 90s hardcore and pitch-shifted repetitive vocal samples.
