Batu is a British electronic producer who has released tracks on several well-regarded labels, including his own Timedance. Informed by dubstep and garage as well as techno and electro, his tracks are sometimes slower and sparser than most other producers on the U.K. bass scene, but filled with tension and unpredictable shifts. He debuted with two singles in 2013 before founding Timedance in 2015. Singles arrived on the label as well as others such as Hessle Audio and Mistry, each gathering acclaim from the underground dance music press. Batu's first EP for XL, Rebuilt, appeared in 2018, and Opal, his refined debut album, arrived in 2022.
