About Burial
Burial is William Bevan, the South London producer whose 2007 album Untrue became one of the most influential electronic records of its era, all crackle, pitched vocal ghosts, and garage rhythms stripped of their swagger. Releasing almost exclusively on Hyperdub, he stayed anonymous for years and still avoids the spotlight, letting a slow drip of EPs carry the myth. His sound sits somewhere between UK garage, ambient, and dubstep, and the artists ranked below are the ones whose audio actually inhabits that space, not just the ones journalists mention in the same breath.
