Burial Reveals Identity 

Notorious London dubstep artist Burial has revealed his identity on his myspace after three years of speculation.

  The truth is rather less tantalising than the rumours however, with past rumours suggesting he was Moby, Aphex Twin and Hyberdub label owner Kode9's anonymous project. Instead he is a "lowkey" South Londoner by the name of Will Bevan.

  His myspace statement:

hi

i wanted to be unknown because i just want it to be all about the tunes.

  Bevan's identity had previously leaked on UK electronic music forum Dissensus and Aussie music blog Fortune Grey.

  Following his nomination for this year's Mercury Prize, Burial is releasing a 12" single, as well as his follow up to last years 'Untrue'.
