Batu gives a masterclass in bass music on the Marius EP. The title track "Marius" contorts and moves in different directions in a matter of minutes. Selected by Resident Advisor as one of 2017's top tracks, the magazine writes that "Batu has a sculptor's sense for detail." This high level of production extends to "Off Court" and then to the bass heavy "Nosema." Batu finishes the EP on a lighter note with "Don't" - one of my favorite tracks of 2017. A fitting ending to Batu's masterclass in bass. Edward
