Burial: DJ-Kicks...

Wow....

Add this tidbit to the maddeningly short list of things we know about dubstep auteur Burial: he's next in line to craft one of those DJ-Kicks compilations. And he's in good company, as past contributors include Hot Chip, Booka Shade, Four Tet, and Annie.

According to a press release, young B "may treat his dearest dubstep, techno and even r&b tracks with his unique production style before mixing them with exclusive material." Of course, we don't know just what he'll be "treating" at the moment, as the tracklist hasn't been released yet. But that secrecy is in no way surprising considering the source.

The set is due from !K7 on CD and 2LP; it hits European shelves on June 23, and the States July 8.

my favorite moments...

• “The Crew” era, with Yams, Lisy, Vilma, Anabel, Luis, Leslo, Stef, Alex, et al. We had nothing to lose and living life. I never felt I belonged in college and many of us probably felt the same way.
• Buzz Era: 1. Seeing Roni Size at my first rave ever 2. Carl Cox and DJ Hype with Yams 3. Roni Size and Reprazent at the 9:30 club with Yamir, Mia, and all of us together. 4. DJ SS and Warren G with Lourdes, Yamir, and Helena… the vibe was probably the best ever at the moment when all of us were dancing all crammed up.
• Those parties grandma used to throw in her apartment… it was there where all the neighbors came; my dad’s family came through, the random family members showing up (Daniel when he was born, Calin, etc.).
• Seeing grandma throw down on the old rock n’ roll records.
• Irene when she was a baby
• Making Mia smile when I acted silly for her, she always gave a look like she didn’t know what to do with me!!
  
• Seeing the older famz play 31 or Bingo
• Those little brother/sister moments I have with Vilma when we are out with the group.
• My 4th date with Linda… It was the vibe of driving down a summer night with the windows down blasting salsa.
  
• Seeing my mom happy and joking around
• Having JoeNice hit me up on myspace and asking for my dub.
• Having a beer with Luis and Yams
