About this Event
GULP! welcomes Verraco (Colomobia) to Houston for a night centered on forward-thinking club music and high-pressure dancefloor energy. The Bogotá-born producer and DJ has become known for his fast, percussive sound—blending Latin club rhythms, techno intensity, and experimental edge into sets that feel physical, immersive, and relentlessly driving. This booking reflects GULP!’s continued focus on artists shaping the future of underground dance music.
Medellín-based artist Verraco has carved out a singular space within the global electronic landscape, acting as a vital bridge between the rhythmic weight of Latin American club music and the clinical precision of European IDM. As a co-founder of the influential TraTraTrax imprint, he has been instrumental in codifying a sound that refuses to sit still—one where reggaeton’s dembow pulse is fractured and reassembled through the lens of UK bass and experimental sound design. His productions are characterized by a restless kinetic energy, favoring complex, polyrhythmic structures that challenge the dancefloor while maintaining a deep, visceral connection to the physical.
Verraco’s DJ sets are masterclasses in tension and release, often navigating the "in-between" spaces of contemporary electronic music. Eschewing the predictable linear progression of standard techno, he opts for a more fluid, high-velocity approach that seamlessly blends breaks, deconstructed club, and trippy, spatial textures. There is a distinct sense of narrative in his work; it’s music that feels both deeply rooted in the specific cultural ferment of Colombia and entirely untethered from geography. This ability to synthesize disparate influences into a coherent, high-impact sonic language has made him one of the most compelling figures in the underground today.
This appearance marks a pivotal moment for the local scene, offering a rare opportunity to witness an artist who is not just participating in the global dialogue of electronic music, but actively shifting its syntax. Expect a night of dense atmospheres, broken percussive workouts, and the kind of forward-thinking energy that defines the TraTraTrax ethos.
