Despite much internet frenzy, James Blake did not interview Burial during his BBC Radio 1 show last night. He did, however, make up for it in other ways.
With listeners tuning in worldwide for what they thought to be a world exclusive talk with the reclusive producer, Blake instead took the time share a new track – entitled “40455″ – as well as a Harmonimix remix of Beyonce’s “Drunk In Love”.
You can listen to those beneath, as well as the fake “interview” with Burial – which basically consists of several humorous soundbites.
