Kode9 and Burial announce new EP 'Infirmary / Unknown Summer'

It's the first time the pair have linked up in five years

Kode9 and Burial have announced a new two-track EP 'Infirmary/Unknown Summer', set for release via fabric Originals on July 21.

The news arrives after more than a month of heavy speculation about the collaboration, after a cryptic billboard appeared in Shoreditch back in May teasing a new release from the two producers.

The project will be the first time the pair have linked up in over five years after they recorded their acclaimed FABRICLIVE 100 mix, marking the end of the long-running series. It also comes after Burial put out his 'Streetlands' EP late last year.

Earlier this year, Burial was London Fashion Week's unlikely star. The highly-anticipated debut of Burberry’s new creative director Daniel Lee went down as one of the highlights of the recent London Fashion Week - and the elusive producer was his secret weapon.

The Burberry Autumn/Winter 2023 show played five Burial tracks in total, submerging the catwalk in the moody electronics of ‘Truant’, ‘Young Death’, ‘Exokind’, ‘Shell Of Light’ and ‘Homeless’.

Fittingly, the event took place in Lambeth, one of the catchment zones Burial may have drawn inspiration from when crafting his 2005 EP 'South London Boroughs'. Some artists present at the show included Benji B (who put together the soundtrack for Burberry), Skepta, Stormzy, Vegyn, Damon Albarn, Jamie xx and Honey Dijon, to name a few.
