We no longer need to introduce
@djbabatr โ founding figure of the Raptor House movement and a true pioneer of Venezuelaโs electronic scene. From the streets of Caracas to dancefloors worldwide, his raw and vibrant sound blends tribal percussion, urban energy, and futuristic electronic pulses.
Couvre x Chefs had the honor of hosting him for his first club show in France in October 2023 at Petit Bain (Paris) โ a defining moment that marked the beginning of a lasting connection between the producer and our label.
Two years later, this relationship comes full circle with the release of Pedro Le Dino, an explosive and organic EP, out now on Couvre x Chefs. With this project, DJ Babatr continues to push the boundaries of his sound, weaving Techno and Trance influences into the relentless rhythmic intensity that defines Raptor House, and asserting his unique vision of contemporary electronic music more than ever.
Conceived as a true collaborative effort with Couvre x Chefs, the EP brings together four tracks from Babatrโs old-school repertoire โ composed in 2004 and previously circulated only informally โ which are being officially released for the very first time. To extend this dialogue, the tracks have been reworked by four artists affiliated with CxC, offering a renewed perspective on these foundational pieces.
Featuring four original tracks and four remixes by
