1. Kode9 and Burial

    In September of 2010, Burial and Kode9 did a mix for Mary Anne Hobbs’ send off show.

    Steven Goodman and Mary Anne Hobbs plausibly know Burial’s identity, as Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet.

  2. Discography

    Seven of Burial’s total ten releases have been on Hyperdub Records, founded and run by Steven Goodman aka Kode9.

    Two of Burial’s releases not on Hyperdub Records are on Text Records.  Text Records was founded by Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet.  

    One of the two releases on Text Records was a collaboration between Four Tet and Burial, the 12” EP entitled Moth/Wolf Cub.  Nothing is known about the production of the release, save the title and artists involved.

    The other Text Records release was a collaboration between Four Tet, Burial, and Thom Yorke, the 12” EP entitled Ego/Mirror.  

    The only Burial release not on either Hebden’s own Text Records or Goodman’s Hyperdub Records was a collaboration with Massive Attack in 2011.  The release was titled Four Walls/Paradise Circus, released by Inhale Gold and the Vinyl Factory.  

    Burial’s identity, as Four Tet, might be known by a very small group of people: Steven Goodman, Thom Yorke, and Massive Attack (Robert Del Naja and Grant Marshall), by some in this group, or by none at all.  Simply because these artists have worked with Burial, does not mean that any know his identity.

    It remains only plausible that someone is in on the ‘secret’ behind Four Tet’s side project of Burial.
