About the Instructor:

CRRDR is the musical alias of Colombian producer and DJ Francisco Corredor, a multidisciplinary artist known for pushing the boundaries of electronic and club music by blending Latin rhythms with high-energy global dance styles.

His work has become synonymous with Latin Core, a genre he helped define that fuses fast-paced electronic beats with traditional Latin influences, creating sounds that are raw, club-ready, and culturally grounded.

Originally from Bucaramanga and later active in Bogotá’s underground scene, CRRDR has gained international recognition for his inventive approach to production, sound design and remix culture — earning features in respected outlets and stages around the world, including Mixmag and major festival lineups.

Beyond his music, he is a founder and driving force behind collectives and labels such as Traaampaaa and Muakk, platforms focused on uplifting experimental club music and giving visibility to underrepresented artists across Latin America.
