Bleep

Bristol’s Batu returns to his own Timedance label with an EP full of blisteringly hard slabs of rave-ready techno. Clearly created with the dancefloor in mind, I Own Your Energy pairs dsdjsd with some notably clever bits of sound design to achieve “maximum rave efficiency.” Stand-out track ‘Inner Space’ pairs jackhammer kicks with high-frequency synths that recall, if nothing else, a steam whistle, while ‘Deep Breath’ brings rubbery bass fit for a bouncing ball. Expansive sounds yet again from a master of the form.
