Batch Plant Vol. 8, compiled by Linearis Various Artists

After a string of three original releases, DJ and producer Linearis takes on the curation reigns, putting together a new Batch Plant volume, and adding his own remix into the game. Former label alum MTD channels his fondness for deep atmospheres into the opening track, an almost 6 minute-long incursion into dark techno territory, padded with spiralling synths and pensive pads. Etui label owner and Dresden nightlife stalwart Insect O offers up a mind bending slice of bleepy techno that captivates and mesmerizes. Also part of the aforementioned scene, Marcø debuts his first track on the label, showcasing a solemn and somber piece of straightforward late-night techno. Linearis picks Insect O’s as his track to remix, and turns it into a highly dance-inducing number with massive dancefloor appeal.
