Eric C. Burton, best known by the recording alias Rabit, is an American producer of experimental electronic music, as well as the owner of his own label Halcyon Veil, born in Houston.
Career
Burton began his musical career making experimental grime music for online record labels. Eventually, he released his debut album Communion on Tri Angle, which received critical acclaim; in a Pitchfork review by Philip Sherburne, where he rated the record 7.9 out of 10,[1] he described it as "violent music" with an "unrelenting barrage of beats and palette of sampled shrapnel".[1]
In 2017, Burton was featured as a producer on Björk's Grammy-nominated[2] album Utopia for the track "Losss". In the same year, he released Les fleurs du mal, a shift in style to experimental electronic music outside of grime. He currently owns and releases music on the record label Halcyon Veil, which has existed since 2015.
Burton has also produced and independently released mixtapes of chopped and screwed remixes and mashups.
