Bat Influences

 
Music

With an array of aged, battered machines, Kevin Palmer aka Best Available Technology orchestrates live improvisations in a dub-controlled environment. Following well-received releases on Opal Tapes, Further, and Astro:dynamics, BAT hones his hobbled grooves into five visceral songs under the guidance of the Bangers & Ash concept – three lurching Ash experiments and two steely-eyed Bangers – out on August 26th via Styles Upon Styles. BAT offers insight on his inspirations with eight classic tracks, ranging from blistered dub to west coast boom bap.
