Dj Babatr

DJ Babatr is the soul and driving force behind Raptor House, a musical and cultural movement that emerged from the streets of Caracas in the late 1990s. As the pioneer of the genre, which fuses hard techno, house, tribal elements and the raw energy of Venezuelan barrios, he embodies a bold and relentless vision of electronic music.

The DNA of Raptor House is inseparable from its creator, making it not just a sound but a powerful cultural and social phenomenon rooted in community expression. Babatr has solidified his reputation through his productions as well as collaborations and remixes with artists like Arca, Matias Aguayo and Nick León, with whom he released Xtasis, named Track of the Year by Resident Advisor. In 2025, Babatr released Root Echoes, an album that captures the essence of Raptor House, tracing its roots by blending historical archives with recent productions to celebrate the resilience, community, and raw energy of this iconic genre.
