A founding figure of Raptor House—a high-velocity fusion of Caribbean rhythms and streetwise samples—DJ Babatr’s sound is sharp enough to snap. Cutting his teeth at DIY raves in Venezuela, his sets are wired for motion: part Caracas block party, part next-gen rave, fuelled by sweat, style, and swagger. His 2022 breakout track 'Xtasis,' a collaboration with Nick León, became an underground anthem, rippling across dancefloors worldwide. In 2024, he made his vinyl debut with 'Rise of the Raptor' on International Chrome, featuring long-awaited cuts like 'To-K' and a heavyweight remix by Amor Satyr. From a standout appearance on Boiler Room at Primavera Sound to his impeccable NTS radio show, Babatr’s wild, percussive world is ever expanding, reshaping Latin club music one bassline, break, and body-moving rhythm at a time.
