Kid Baltan was the alias of the Dutch composer Dick Raaijmakers (1930-2013) for the popular electronic music he made at the Philips NatLab research laboratory in Eindhoven in the 1950s. The name reverses his laboratory nickname, Dik NatLab. With Tom Dissevelt he recorded some of the earliest electronic pop music, gathered on the 1959 LP The Fascinating World of Electronic Music. Dick Raaijmakers worked in electro-acoustic research at Philips from 1954 to 1960.
