Pretty much every rework of a Burial tune comes with a disclaimer like this one: “I know. No one should remix or edit Burial, but I found a beat I made with a friend almost two years ago and I wanted to share this with you guys.” And just like Shlohmo’s recent stab at recreating the dubstep diety’s music, German producer Essáy‘s edit of the drifty “Dog Shelter” sounds pretty great. So, maybe we should change this whole hands-off approach to Burial’s music after all. Just a thought.
