For over a decade, Omar McCutcheon’s work as Batu has sat at the sharp edge of bass-heavy dance music, shaped primarily through his own imprints Timedance and A Long Strange Dream, with key releases appearing on platforms like Hessle Audio and Livity Sound. Across the arc of his output, McCutcheon has continually reshaped techno and soundsystem language with deliberate focus, guided by evolving concepts and sources of inspiration. His interest in sound design and composition extends well beyond the club, yet recent works strip that curiosity back to the core, sharpening the physical charge and immediacy of his dancefloor material.
