reading about Burial in a paper
literally nothing about this paragraph is accurate lmao
the drums aren't from dub, the vinyl crackle isn't from the early 20th century, the vocal samples aren't from rave tracks, and the author seems to think Burial is a band instead of one dude

It wasn't any different in the US back then either. Henry Ford had a whole ass newspaper talking about how awful Jews are and Hitler was a huge fan of it. It's real easy to go from "they control things" to "they're fucking it up for the rest of us" and then it's all downhill

damn near every dubstep producer is influenced by dub though. Burial's drum programming is very clearly imitating El-B and other modern 2-step and dubstep artists
the phrase "dub drums" doesn't even make sense in this context because Burial doesn't use lots of reverb or decay

fun fact: because Nina Protocol is an NFT platform based on public blockchains, you can just download the 320kbps mp3s of whatever you want from there for free
