Baltra crafts music that lives between heartbreak and healing — tender, rhythmic, and cinematic. Through his label 96 & Forever Records, he continues to define post-club romanticism, with his latest single “Lost” (out now) opening a deeply personal new chapter. The track itself is an underground house roller that blends a driving 4x4 groove, wobbling LFO bass that nods to UKG energy, and Baltra’s signature dreamy textures.

Baltra’s music captures the aching tenderness of the dancefloor — nostalgia, resilience, and love bleeding into one. Born from the lo-fi underground out of New York City and raised on the global dancefloor, he’s evolved into one of electronic music’s most expressive voices, known for tracks that balance melancholy, intimacy, and rhythm. 

From early anthems that defined an era of hazy, analog house — including his viral hit "Never Let Go (Of Me)" — to his recent explorations in texture and songwriting, Baltra has become a leading voice in what could be described as post-club romanticism — the feeling that lingers long after the lights come on. Through his label 96 & Forever Records, he’s built a home for this vision: a space where love, loss, and self-reflection can exist in the form of emotionally-charged club music.

His forthcoming EP “In the Afterglow” lands on December 9th, led by the single “Lost”, out now on his aforementioned imprint. The lead track captures the full emotional range of his sound — deep, propulsive, and cinematic — signaling a new era of expressive, floor-focused production.

Uncle Ru (aka Auntie Ruth) is a jockey of discs, co-founder of the Rotters Golf Club (with the late Andrew Weatherall) and resident at Lost Paradise, Return to Rio and Family Matter. He plays gigs here, there and everywhere.
