Burial - Archangel

Something different to the general theme of tracks posted so far. Burial, is a British electronic musician from South London. He has various releases under his belt and pops up out of the blue now and then with some great collabs. The first time I properly heard his stuff was on a driving holiday trip through Eastern Europe and we played his album Unture on repeat. The stand out track on this for me is Archangel. It's quite a dark track that, if push comes to shove, I'd class as garage/break beat. Every time I hear the album it echoes quiet, rainy streets lit by streetlights. So atmospheric. Flying Lotus cites this as one of his favourite artists that isn't on his label and is quoted as saying that nothing he's ever heard sounds so "London". Exactly what it does for me.

Give it a go, it might surprise you.
