Burial

Burial's 2007 album _Untrue_ remains the most influential UK bass music record of the 2000s, selling over 100,000 copies without any traditional singles or radio play. Its ghostly, rain-soaked atmospheres and chopped vocal samples have inspired bedroom producers like Four Tet and Flying Lotus. While Carl Cox (#10) commands stadiums, Burial's elusive mystique proves that lo-fi emotion outperforms the polished anthems of #8-ranked artists in critical longevity, with _Untrue_ still streaming 1.5 million times monthly on Spotify a decade and a half later.
