Timedance boss Batu has signed to XL Recordings for the release of his next EP. Titled Rebuilt, the four-track EP is described by the label as “pushing his sound forward in every way possible”. “I wanted to try and challenge myself a bit for this EP,” the producer says in a press release. “Every track represents a different phase of experimentation – and also different tempos, I wanted to push my processes further than I ever have done.” Bristol-based Batu, real name Omar McCutcheon, made his debut on Pinch’s Cold Recordings back in 2013 and has since developed his bass-heavy brand of club music on labels like Livity Sound, Mistry and Hotline
