Batu is a Bristol-based DJ and producer and the founder of the Timedance label, a key imprint within the contemporary UK bass and techno landscape. His work spans club-focused techno and bass-driven sounds, with releases on Timedance, Hessle Audio, and XL Recordings, as well as his 2022 album Opal.
