    How do people like Burial and Shed etc get that amazing damaged dubby sound in their track? I know there's a lot of backround noises, like vinyl crackle or rain samples, but apart from that, say in Burial & Four Tet - Moth, the individual parts seem to be damaged themselves. How is that achieved? delays/reverbs, bitcrushing?

    Burial seems to drench everything in reverb, rolling off the highend and sinking it back in the mix, fourtet is a fan of max/msp he'll do stutter edits, add crackle, passing thru tape emulators, use slap back delay and send it off to a big reverb. this is truer on his rounds and tongues albums, there is love in you is a much cleaner affair, with some dance floor friendly material, but again its all in the details, dont be afraid to bounce parts down and re-edit them, pass then thru more effects, rinse repeat. oh and they both dig odd time sigs and phrasing, poly rhythms ie having a 5 beat loop laid over a 4/4 pattern so it takes 5 bars for the phrase to start on the 1.
