Nah I wasn't getting at that much of a loose relation between the artists. Of course everyone is influenced by everyone, if that was the case I'd be ripping everyone. But i'm talking about people that actively copy Burial's style, people like Buck UK, Volor Flex, Sorrow, Ghost Tek. Don't get me wrong Sorrow and Ghost-tek are wicked producers in their own right, Sorrows EP on l2s is NUTS. but like.. I've heard tunes by them that literally sound like rebuilds of Burial tunes. I've even heard drum hits and samples directly from Burial tunes.
Don't agree on Sorrow man, and I can tell a Ghostek track from a Burial track from a mile off, maybe that's just because I obsessively listen to them on a daily basis
To be fair to Volor Flex, he's very open when talking about his album being a tribute to Burial.
Anyway, my only issue was saying that 80% were Burial rippers. I know you were only exaggerating, but it's a major disservice to a serious group of producers pushing diverse and innovative sounds!
Just feels like sometimes it's the fashionable genre to take a dig at nowadays. Peace anyway man, respect your views as ever.
