Carefully selected from Babatr’s personal archive, it connects ground-shaking tracks produced in Caracas between 2003 and 2007 with more recent material that keeps the genre’s pulse alive today. Recognized as a foundational figure in the creation of raptor house, Babatr shaped a style defined by its fusion of Afro-Venezuelan percussion, tribal techno, acid, Eurodance, and the street-level intensity of Caracas working-class neighborhoods. His tracks spread organically through minitecas, bootleg CDs, and street parties, becoming part of the shared sonic vocabulary of a generation.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThese tracks were born within the vibrant miniteca scene of early-2000s Venezuela. Known locally as changa, this was the catch-all term for the electronic dance music, house, techno, Eurodance, that powered matinées and street parties. From that ecosystem, raptor house emerged as its own distinct identity, marked by galloping rhythms, serrated synths, and hypnotic structures designed to energize and empower. Opening with 2024’s “1 2 3 4 Ladies on\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e the Floor”, the album delivers a relentless floor-filler that fuses technoid drive with Venezuelan percussive textures, a contemporary statement of Babatr’s ability to refract global sounds through his own lens. It then moves back to 2003 with “The Tech Sounds”, where trance-like synths spiral around tough, wooden drum patterns in a track as raw and defiant as the dance floors it was built for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are not just tracks. They are sound documents of space, community, and survival, a genre built for collective release and celebration, echoing from the barrios of Caracas to sound systems worldwide. More recent cuts like “Let’s Do It” layer classic TR-909 kicks and echoing vocal stabs with synth work that nods to foundational techno. “You I Wanna Bass” (2005) reimagines 90s Euro club leads with a Caracas edge. “Call Space” channels the mysticism of pre-Hispanic flutes into shrill, trance-infused riffs, pulling the listener into its own sonic ritual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoot Echoes is an intimate and deliberate selection from over 700 tracks Babatr has recorded across two decades. It captures the heartbeat of a movement that never stopped, music that traveled hand to hand, through bootleg CDs, online sharing, and word of mouth—ultimately finding its way into the sets, remixes, and samples of DJs around the world, resonating across global club networks.\u003c\/span\u003e \"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : DJ BABATR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Hakuna Kulala\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelease date : 3rd October 2025\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-12-05T08:01:07+09:00","created_at":"2025-12-04T10:16:49+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["hakuna kulala","house","lp","new","strange beats","techno \/ house"],"price":489400,"price_min":489400,"price_max":489400,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":48060539797754,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"DJ Babatr \/\/ Root Echoes LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":489400,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/echo1_f0a55943-d859-4dcd-804b-ba622982c6e2.jpg?v=1764810909","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/echo2_a2e308c3-7a1f-4858-817d-f11288fbce7c.jpg?v=1764810909"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/echo1_f0a55943-d859-4dcd-804b-ba622982c6e2.jpg?v=1764810909","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":37694603493626,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/echo1_f0a55943-d859-4dcd-804b-ba622982c6e2.jpg?v=1764810909"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/echo1_f0a55943-d859-4dcd-804b-ba622982c6e2.jpg?v=1764810909","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":37694603526394,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.33,"height":902,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/echo2_a2e308c3-7a1f-4858-817d-f11288fbce7c.jpg?v=1764810909"},"aspect_ratio":1.33,"height":902,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/echo2_a2e308c3-7a1f-4858-817d-f11288fbce7c.jpg?v=1764810909","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eベネズエラ・カラカスのゲットーダンス作家DJ Babatrが、2025年12月にウガンダ・カンパラのレフトフィールド・ダンスレーベルNyege Nyege傘下Heat Crimesからリリースしたレコードです。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eカラカス発祥のRaptor House10曲を収録。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2659790698\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/hakku\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e \/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/hakku\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Hakuna Kulala \/ Nyege Nyege Tapes \/ Heat Crimes releases available at Tobira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-----------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12\" black vinyl.\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 250.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1. 1234 Ladys on the Floor 03:08\u003cbr\u003e2.
