Batu

Techno

HEADLINER

Batu, the alias of producer Omar McCutcheon, is a DJ and producer based in Bristol, England, and the founder of the Timedance record label. He built his reputation on a distinctive strain of modernist, experimental UK techno that draws on dubstep, dub, and the wider UK bass continuum, with releases on labels including Hessle Audio, Livity Sound, and XL Recordings alongside his own imprint. His 2022 debut album Opal expanded his sound design into broader territory, and his 2026 collaborative album Exhale with Donato Dozzy leaned into deep, hypnotic minimal techno. His DJ work spans the international club and festival circuit, with sets at Glastonbury, Dekmantel Festival, Sonar, and Unsound, multiple Boiler Room appearances, and a residency at Nowadays through its Nonstop series, and he hosts a show on NTS Radio. Known for building trust with a crowd across long, all-night sets, Batu remains one of the defining voices in contemporary UK club music.

DJ Masda

Minimal / Deep Tech

DJ Masda, born Yuki Masda, is a Japanese DJ and producer who grew up near Mount Fuji in Shizuoka, Japan, and is now based in Berlin, Germany. A vinyl obsessive since the 1990s, he co-founded the respected minimal and deep house label Cabaret Recordings and previously oversaw A&R for Tokyo's Energy Flash Distribution. His sets draw on early techno, futurist electro and the playful spirit of house music, built from short, precise mixes that move between light and dark. Widely regarded as one of Japan's finest selectors, he has recorded podcasts for Resident Advisor, Dimensions, Bassiani and XLR8R, and has performed at major festivals including Houghton, Dimensions, Wonderfruit and EPIZODE. He is a familiar presence at Berlin's Club der Visionaere and Hoppetosse and at Tokyo's Air and Womb, and moves in the international minimal and deep tech scene alongside peers like Binh and Nicolas Lutz. Masda remains a cornerstone selector whose crate-deep, hypnotic sets reward close listening.
