“The Beatport Music Awards aims to recognize electronic music talent. With nominees based solely on 2008 unit sales from Beatport.com, the awards are broken down by music genre.

There are 35 categories altogether: Best Artists (separated into 17 genres), Best Track (17 genres, with both originals and remixes), and a final open question asking the public to name the ‘most influential, relevant and forward-thinking person in electronic music in 2008’.”

Massive Attack vs Burial
Oct 2011 19
This release came out a few days ago and naturally all copies of this limited 1000 press run were all sold out within the first day but you can still listen to the two tracks here. This is the second time (that I can recall) that Burial has decided to work with other artists, his last one being with the legendary Four Tet and neither of them disappoint. I wish that I could tell you more about Burial but as you probably already know he likes to shy away from the spotlight and the media in general. All I can do is highly recommend that you listen to his older works (Self Titled and Untrue) as they were some of the first albums to introduce me to the fantastic world of dubstep.
