Batu - Eraser / Stairwells [Cold Recordings]

Thought I'd upload my Essential Mix from earlier this year for your listening pleasure now it's not available on the BBC. 

This is my original recording with no stings and no Pete Tong talking(sadly). 

It was such an honour to contribute to this mix series, i'd rate it up there as one of the biggest achievements i've had as a DJ. Thanks to everyone who listened and wrote me nice messages about it <3

BBC Radio One - Essential Mix

Batu returns to his very own Timedance imprint with the long awaited follow-up to 2019’s False Reeds, this time with some of his hardest tracks to date.

Here he expands his aptitude for bass-heavy grooves, harmoniously bringing it together with FWD drum-craze and deep techno kinetics.

Meticulously crafted for rave efficiency, the EP shines with a dazzling sense of nuance, enriched by frisky and intoxicating sound design.

Batu - Inner Space

You can now listen to « Deep Breath », the second single from Batu’s forthcoming EP. 

As the EP’s closing track, ‘Deep Breath’ sees Batu take a more reflective route while experimenting with dubbed-out ambience in high tempo territories.

here's a recording of my set from The White Hotel in Manchester, Feb 2018 - i was closing from 5-7am after a bumpy Lena Willikens set. it was my 2nd gig of the night and my 4th in 3 days, there's a few sketchy transitions but the vibe was great so who cares.

it's definitely pretty peak time, with a few twists and turns in there too - also loads of fresh music which you might hear more of later in the year...!

For our 240th Truancy Volume, we have the great honour of hosting Bristol-based luminary Batu in the mix. Emerging as one of our favourite producers, DJs and curators in dance music over the last few years, Omar McCutcheon released the first compilation from his brilliant label Timedance in 2018: Patina Echoes highlighted some of the label’s regulars as well as new talent, also featuring individual releases by Laksa, Lurka and Ploy. After a packed few months for Batu himself with releases on other labels including R&S and XL Recordings, this week marks a return to his own imprint with his new EP, False Reeds. False Reeds consists of three percussion-driven cuts for the club, born out of vocal samples re-synthesized into new sounds as source. While it unmistakably sounds like Batu, with a thread of absorbing polyrhythms and a healthy injection of bass-weight, the EP is deliberately more in line with the warmer end of the spectrum rather than techno this time around.

Live at Strange Brew, Bristol, UK

Batu @ Strange Brew x Noods (20th August 2020)

'Sharpen, Moving' celebrates five years of the Timedance imprint, blending the labels original aesthetic and opening it up into new corners of leftfield club music. Artists featuring include the regular faces of Batu, Bruce, Ploy and Metrist, alongside newcomers Kit Seymour, Akiko Haruna and Mang & GRAŃ. Timedance also welcomes techno royalty Peter Van Hoesen with one of his most broken tracks to date, plus new appearances from Patina Echoes contributors Via Maris, Cleyra and Nico.

The compilation showcases Timedance's evolution from 'Bristol techno' to a more global conscious sound, incorporating energies from different scenes and synthesising them into new modern forms.
