Burial: Lends a Buzz to "DJ Kicks "
Just one day after Souljazz Records announced their commitment to the DubStep scene with a handful of most promising releases, K7! have spread the word about yet another highlight from the still fledgling genre. Burial, whose two latest releases have been acclaimed worldwide and turned him into the prodigal son of a style still struggling to express itself in the album format, is set to feature in the next volume of the label’s renowned and classic “DJ Kicks” series. The Berlin-based record company is just as anxious for this album as the rest of the musical world, revealing that they’re “buzzing on the announcement” and labeling Burial as “one of the global leaders in this exploding scene on word-of-mouth alone”. With a projected release date of the end of June and Souljazz’ “Steppas’ Delight” compilation also due any day now, listeners may soon be able to choose from two seminal DubStep collections.
Even though the exact track listing still is anybody’s guess and K7! are deliberately leaving all options open, they have at least allowed for a glimpse into what is happening behind the scenes. With regards to Burial’s upcoming “DJ Kicks” record, their office commented that they “hear whisperings from the studio that he may treat his dearest dubstep, techno and even r'n'b tracks with his unique production style before mixing them with exclusive material”. This coincides perfectly with previous installments of the series, which have offered personal visions by Four Tet, Henrik Schwarz, Booka Shade and Hot Chip among others.
