Nick León

Nick León is a producer and DJ from Miami whose work draws on dembow, reggaeton and the Latin club styles that circulate through the city. His tracks tend to keep the percussive frameworks of those genres intact while stripping and reshaping everything around them, favouring hollowed-out low end, treated vocal fragments and long stretches of atmosphere.

He is widely associated with "Xtasis", a collaboration with the Venezuelan producer DJ Babatr that helped introduce raptor house to listeners outside Venezuela, and he has released through labels connected to the wider Latin American club network. He also works as a producer for other artists, applying the same interest in regional rhythms to song-based material.
