On its ninth release, Fantastic Planet presents Batenko’s Body Free - a record that fuses rave-era chaos with contemporary club precision. Expect broken rhythms, weighty basslines, and a nod to Prodigy’s anarchic edge. The remixes push the EP into new zones: Eoin dj dives into shadowy minimalism, while Blu:sh unleashes a full-throttle dancefloor weapon. design: @ggrdzelishvili

@batenk_o - Gamma-Ray Bursts
Step Ball Chain recruits the French maestro Batenko for a club cut EP, a kiss from the underground laden with tweaked tools exhibiting an already imitable signature sound. The inconspicuous producer based in Marseille reveals a four track feast dipping into corners of forward thinking techno, bass and unexpected dance delight, centered in flirty, freaky mastery.
Gamma-Ray Bursts delivers delicious locked grooves for late night deviants; obscure vocal fragments fidget over driving basslines, momentary euphoria and a feverish pulsation that is core to the label.
Dance addicts around the globe may be familiar with this record, your favorite deejays sneaking various tracks into earshot.. Now it’s time for the full unleash!

PREMIERE: Batenko - Daunting
@batenko.live
Available on @warning._____
(FR)
“Un groove instinctif, né sur le vif. J’ai commencé par une ligne de batterie bien sèche sur la RD-9, puis un sample vocal est venu naturellement se caler dessus. Dès cet instant, tout s’est enchaîné : une basse bien ronde, un synthé acid qui se confond bien avec la basse… pour donner un morceau dansant avec cette énergie brute qui donne envie de bouger sans réfléchir.”

“It’s an instinctive groove, born in the moment. It all started with a crisp drum line on the RD-9, then a vocal sample naturally fell into place. From that point on, everything just flowed: a deep, round bass, an acid synth that blends seamlessly with it… The result is a danceable track with raw energy that makes you want to move without thinking.”
