DJ Babatr reworks TOMORA’s ‘RING THE ALARM.’
What DJ Babatr brings to TOMORA's debut single
Raptor house energy meets mainstream electronic
Venezuelan producer DJ Babatr injects urgency into TOMORA's debut with his raptor house signature—high-energy breakbeats clocking 138 BPM, vocal sirens, and relentless momentum across 5:07. Released December 18 via Universal Music Operations Limited, the remix preserves Aurora Aksnes' ethereal vocals while pushing them through a breakbeat-and-Drum & Bass framework that contrasts sharply with Tom Rowlands' signature Chemical Brothers precision.
The collaboration marks TOMORA's first official remix, extending the project's reach beyond its cross-generational origins. DJ Babatr's underground raptor house aesthetic—rarely heard in major-label contexts—gains mainstream visibility through the pairing, bridging legacy electronic acts with Venezuela's emergent dance sound. Early streaming data suggest a rapid pickup across platforms, reinforcing the remix as both a credibility play and a genre expansion for a project Rowlands and Aurora describe as "a band, not two individuals."
The remix release details and streaming availability
Multi-platform rollout and early reception
DJ Babatr's remix dropped December 18, 2025 via Universal Music Operations Limited, appearing across Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and SoundCloud. The 5:07 track runs at 138 BPM and has been tagged variably as raptor house and Drum & Bass, reflecting its high-energy breakbeat core.
Early streaming data showed 3,367 plays on Spotify within days of release. The Venezuelan producer preserved Aurora Aksnes' distinctive vocals while layering vocal sirens and frenetic percussion, positioning the remix as TOMORA's first official rework made just two weeks after the original single's debut.
Why this collaboration signals a new direction for electronic music
The rapid emergence of a debut remix—DJ Babatr's rework dropped just two weeks after TOMORA's 'RING THE ALARM' launched—telegraphs more than promotional velocity. It marks a deliberate fusion strategy: The Chemical Brothers' Tom Rowlands and Aurora Aksnes designed TOMORA as a unified band identity, not a guest-feature vehicle, yet immediately invited underground voices into the conversation.
Cross-genre infrastructure
By tapping DJ Babatr, a Venezuelan architect of raptor house, Universal Music Operations Limited positioned the project at the intersection of legacy electronic acts, vocal pop sensibility, and high-energy breakbeat subcultures. The 5:07 remix layers 138 BPM intensity over Aurora's unmistakable vocals—preserving melodic accessibility while courting dancefloor experimentalists. This model inverts traditional rollout logic: instead of remixes arriving months later as afterthoughts, TOMORA treats them as co-equal creative statements from launch, signaling that collaboration not hierarchy defines the project's DNA.
