Welcome to the subreddit dedicated to the artist Burial.
Releasing records under the pseudonym "Burial," William Bevan comes from South London in England, and is one of dubstep's most enigmatic artists. With home made chopped up beats, swooshing synths, and haunting modified vocals lifted from an eclectic range of pop songs, he brings his listeners back to a time when hardcore, d'n'b, 2step, and house music dominated the London underground club/rave scene.

Welcome to the subreddit dedicated to the artist Burial.
Releasing records under the pseudonym "Burial," William Bevan comes from South London in England, and is one of dubstep's most enigmatic artists. With home made chopped up beats, swooshing synths, and haunting modified vocals lifted from an eclectic range of pop songs, he brings his listeners back to a time when hardcore, d'n'b, 2step, and house music dominated the London underground club/rave scene.
He takes pride in creating the feeling you'd get after leaving a club playing this music at 3am coming down from a couple of Es and walking through the streets of London. He chooses to stay shrouded in a cloud of mystery, and has only been in 3-4 interviews which have been posted in this subreddit. He doesn't play live, and he occasionally releases snippets of songs to radio stations, and then we never hear them again as officially released tunes.

Watching the Grinch with my girlfriend yesterday night, haven’t seen it in years.
Casually watching, when this sound plays. It instantly perks my ears up, snaps me out of the film. I’ve heard that before.
Remembered about it today, and went to compare.
The sound occurs at 0:59 in the below video clip from The Grinch film:

Burial samples the same sound in his track ‘Pirates’ at 4:23 and 4:37.
This may already be known, but thought worth sharing here.
Waiting for new Burial music, listen to this awesome album: https://darkheartrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/k-01 Atsuko. K.01
Recently I’ve been thinking about Timbah On Toast’s observation that so many Burial fan have treasured moments associated with his music.
For my part, mine is dancing to “Indoors” with a woman on a set of linked headphones while camping out on the roof of an academic building. Unfortunately, we only met a couple months before graduation, and neither of us liked the idea of long-distance.
Was rewatching First Blood. This scene started and immediately my "spider burial-sense" was triggered.

Not 100% sure... but it sounds so similar to the "main" tune all throughout Pre-Dawn. I think he even left in some of the folie / fx sound. With some FX and pitch shifting added I'm pretty shure you could even recreate it.
Anybody know if these tracks will be released in some format? Would love to revist the audio and specifically some of the field recording esque tracks
If I can make it sharable I'll post it on here to see your guys' list
Was surprised to see Chemz right at the top honestly but I do love that track and listen to it so so much + I definitely favour his longer tracks looking at this list
does anyone have the new volor flex album? i don’t understand why he doesn’t put it on bandcamp but instead sends messages through bandcamp saying you need to order and buy the album via email, what kind of nonsense is that?
Hey everyone,
Been looking through the internet to find this flute sample at 9:16 in Rival Dealer, but I can't seem to find it :( Can anyone help me?
Does anyone have a link to the Sony Sonic Foundry Ambient Realms CD?
Comfortably drunk after a big catch up with old friends and listening to this. What a fantastic tune, the vibes always come home to this track. What a piece of work. Fuck all the mystery, what a fantastic piece of work.
I got this back in 2015, right before moving away from my home country for good. I thought it would bring me closer to kindred spirits, and eventually help me find my crowd. Almost 10 years later, I have great friends around me (and even if we overlap a lot musically) none of them is a true Burial enjoyer. I am still waiting to meet someone that will look at it and go “oh”.
This is my favorite burial music. A complete rework, pure genius. I thought that maybe some people wouldn't have discovered it yet, don't hesitate to listen to it, this is pure bliss, i can’t describe it.
Take care guys.
☄️come down to us☄️ I wonder how many more decades will pass and i ll still be in awe of this work of art , evrything about this ep has my heart, randomly stumbling upon come down to us and just being blown Apart and just strucked w the emotions of it and months later after its hangover passed away and Just Listening rival Dealer and the way it captivated me and just made me wonder about how something can be this beautiful, Thank you burial for creating such a timeless classic,i ll surely REMEBER it for decades to come and still be the same emotionally moved as i was at my first listen <3
Was this ever released or is there a better quality version??
So good..
My favourite is Kindred just wondering what others thoughts are on this?
