Baltra by Extra Credit

Raised in Philadelphia but currently based in New York, Baltra has spent the last decade honing a sound that’s rich on romance and melancholy.

Releasing his first music in parallel with the lo-fi house explosion of the mid-2010s — and racking up millions of plays on YouTube and other streaming services in the process — Baltra has always had a restless approach and attention to detail that’s set him apart from many of his peers.

It’s fitting that his debut for Local Action — a five-track EP that marks some of Baltra’s most meticulously crafted but undeniably catchy work yet — is simply titled Ambition. Ambition showcases Baltra’s ability to write songs that are both effective in a dance music context but also transcend it. This isn’t to say Ambition ever strays too far from the dancefloor, however: ‘Work (It) Out’ is one of the most direct club tracks that Baltra’s released yet, harking back to his formative years DJing at New York warehouse parties.
