Sexy Burial

I’m very impressed by Burial. It’s not so much about the music he makes, more about how, his ways and thoughts, uncovered in this interview by Blackdown. The press release decribes his upcoming album on Hyperdub, made without a sequencer in Soundforge(!), as “a sound which sends the dormant slinky syncopations of uk garage, via radio interference, into a padded cell of cushioned, muffled bass, passing through the best of Pole’s Berlin crackle dub”. It’s sexy dubstep to me.

-”But there’s plenty of people who if they were given any room, would make dubstep sound like slowed down drum & bass. And those people are terrified of those sexy vibes I’m talking about. They don’t want this music to have come from garage.”

Until the album is out on May 15, listen to the Breezeblock album preview (mp3 rip of it here), get his “South London Boroughs EP” from Bleep and read the full interview.
