Burial

Burial, the enigmatic figure in electronic music, is the moniker of William Emmanuel Bevan, an artist who emerged from the South London music scene in the mid-2000s. Shrouded in anonymity in the early stages of his career, Burial became one of the pivotal figures in the development of the dubstep genre with his eponymous debut album in 2006 and the Mercury Prize-nominated 'Untrue' in 2007. His sound is often characterized by a distinctive production style that features haunting vocal samples, atmospheric textures, and intricate beats, creating densely layered tracks that evoke urban nocturnes and resonate with themes of alienation and introspection.

As an artist who fiercely maintains a low profile, avoiding most interviews and public appearances, Burial has carved out a unique space within the electronic music spectrum. Through his music, he communicates a profound depth of emotion and a distinctive sonic palette that draws on elements of UK garage, ambient, and bass music traditions. His oeuvre includes a diversity of releases, from the emotionally charged 'Streetlands EP' to the more introspective 'Antidawn EP'. Burial's influence extends well beyond his discography, as evidenced by revered collaborations and remixes in his recent releases such as 'Nova / Moth' with iconic producer Four Tet and 'Her Revolution / His Rope' with Radiohead's frontman Thom Yorke and producer Four Tet. His compilation 'Tunes 2011-2019' showcases the breadth of his work across a key period in his career, while singles like 'Chemz / Dolphinz' and 'Claustro / State Forest' serve as testaments to his enduring ability to push the boundaries of electronic music and connect with a loyal and passionate fan base.
