ALL NIGHT — Batu • Clara D • Raef b2b Lia Plutonic

Since his debut in 2013, Batu has carved out a singular place in UK electronic music. The Bristol-based DJ, producer and Timedance label head draws from the foundations of UK bass music while constantly pushing the sound forward through fractured rhythms, deep low-end and adventurous club experimentation. His productions have appeared on key labels including XL Recordings and Hessle Audio, alongside his own Timedance imprint, now a vital force in forward-thinking UK dance music. Known for DJ sets that are as precise as they are unpredictable, Batu has played at Dekmantel Selectors, Unsound, Dimensions, Field Day and Freerotation, while touring extensively across Europe, Asia and the Americas. His work behind the decks has also earned recognition from The Guardian and Mixmag.

Operating out of Brussels, Clara D transmits a hypnotic and mutable strain of techno shaped by close attention to the mechanics of the dancefloor. Her sets unfold slowly and deliberately, prioritising texture, long-form evolution and tension over immediate impact. A resident at GIMIC Radio and Brussels’ C12, with regular appearances on Kiosk Radio, Clara D has built a strong presence in the city’s underground while performing across Belgium, France, Canada and beyond. Mixing fluidly across three to four decks, she moves between hypnotic rollers, percussive workouts and pressure-heavy warehouse sounds with a restrained, precise approach. Years of studio work have sharpened her ear for sound design, structure and energy, creating a continuous dialogue between her productions and DJ sets.

Nashville-native and lead researcher of UK-focused night ‘U-TURN’, Raef has found a way into the Montreal circuit through a multitude of styles and UK-inspired grooves, becoming a consistent presence at bars and raves around the city. Raef found solace in the rave scene of a city preoccupied with country music and is ready to bring some southern flavor. Formerly the music librarian and frequent host at CKUT radio, Raef explored music of all genres and now incorporates a range of frequencies into each set.

Few others can transmute energy and disseminate love in such an impactful way as Montreal-based artist Lia Plutonic. Inspired by the beauties and complexities of the human experience, she hones in on soulful rhythms and rumbling bass across the spectrum of house and electronic music. Using these vibrations as a conduit for personal and communal healing, the Homegrown Harvest resident moves the body through the soul. She is recognized throughout the city for her performances at Piknic Electronik, Igloofest, Sans Soleil, Bar Datcha, and her monthly show on n10as radio. Armed with love, energy and timeless dance tracks, Lia will take you by storm.
