Bleep

Marking five years of his label, Timedance, the visionary Bristol artist Batu gathers a compilation of progressive, bass music for Sharpen, Moving. There are Timedace regulars like Ploy and Bruce, both of whom are well-versed in the kind of low-end mutation that make the label tick. Elsewhere, Belgian techno luminary Peter Van Hoesen delivers eerie, broken-beat precision, Happa gets tough and Via Maris does dreamy. The flow is seamless, each track adding another layer of complexity and sonic exploration to the last. Batu’s curatorial ear shows why Timedance has become such a vital label in the UK electronic landscape.
