Dear diary, today I

Resident Advisor with a new video documentary piece thing on the ten year of Untrue. To be honest pretty disappointing and you're much better off exercising yer brain and reading Simon Reynolds' piece on Pitchfork that came out a few weeks ago.

It's definitely a strange one for me looking back at it. Not only because you realise it's a decade old (seemed like only yesterday I remember picking up Burial's first EP on Hyperdub) but also it's strange to think of how little impact the spirit of Untrue/Burial has had.


I remember there was a bit of collective staring down on people who tried to do similar stuff at the time.
His style was so unique, that anybody making music in the same vein was, not always justly, seen as almost plagiarizing.

Or at least that's the feeling I got 10 years ago here in Belgium, when I came at an end of what was never a dj career.

In a way that reminded me of the time when I started dj-ing (yes I'm old), and DJ Shadow's Endtroducing came out.
It was rightfully seen as a masterpiece, but it also had such a unique thing going, that others almost made an effort steering clear of doing something like it and might get them branded as fanboys.
