Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?

Hello, my name is Lucas (He/Him), I currently reside in Naarm (Melbourne) and I can catch a grape in my mouth as far as anyone I’ve ever met can throw one.


How did you get your DJ name?

I’m a serious ITD ‘Internet Thesaurus Digger’. I'm always on the hunt for more interesting words that either inspire music/are a great match for unnamed projects and also for general use in life. From memory… ‘Reptant’ came up as a synonym for Lurk, creep, or crawl. I never anticipated it becoming my main project and initially I was just posting ‘deep-ambient-broken beat-dub-techno’ anonymously on soundcloud before I removed everything prior to my first official release.


Favorite sound of nature? Describe how it makes you feel. 

The sound of a single drop of condensation or water splashing perfectly into a body of water making a resonant bleep/blip/bloop sound, especially if it’s in a cave and you get the reverb of that. It’s so satisfying because for it to actually happen (Cave reverb aside) in a natural environment there are so many variables that are at play: 1. No wind (so the drop of water falls straight down) 2. The water has to be flat/still 3. The distance of the fall has to be correct. 4. silence so the impact of the sound is heard properly… Even with all this, the phenomenon is still so common, it also can happen in your bath or sink and I can do the thing that ‘Cameron’ does in Ferris Bueller’s Day off but it’s more exciting when it happens out in the real world. I think I’m excited by sounds made by liquid in general, sorry for the spiel, loaded question…

If you had to trade your USB with one DJ, who would it be and why? 

My friend Michael (Shout out 2 Ricci) lately I have come to realize how aligned our taste’s in electro are, There’s a lot of junk out there and I think we can agree on what we think is true purist underground shit - Michael is an expert digger and has a few more years of experience under his belt than me, he has shown me so much over the last year or two and it has helped shape my vision (or ear) for music (not limited to electro), i’d absolutely love to uncover the rare tracks he’d have on his USB that i haven’t heard yet, i’m sure they’d blow my mind.

How do you typically prepare a mix?

I’m pretty casual about it, (I think it probably shows), I like to pick tracks in smaller sections or pairs, selecting by percussion and groove to tone, space and atmosphere as well as considering particular vibes of tracks, such as ‘Attitude’ or ‘Lurking’. I’ll never be someone who makes the ‘perfect’ mix of one style/mood of music, I don’t think I have the attention span to make something like that as much as I appreciate and admire people who do. I like the mix to trail off in areas and then snap back onto track while progressing as a whole, usually speeding up and building to some point of peak/release. That’s a pretty loose guideline that I subconsciously follow for ‘whatever’ reason and I enjoy all the magic that comes unplanned within the process of recording a mix.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community? 

More of an equal balance between not taking things too seriously and keeping your responsibilities in check as partygoers, promoters, labels and djs.

INCHMIX081: Reptant 'Transcripts From The Synthetic City'

Second very very special recording from the best night ever, in our Animix sub series of live recordings from Animalia x @vortexvortexvortex events. 

There’s not really a short or concise way to introduce Reptant (@reptant_the_lizard) (formerly Lou Karsh). One of Australia’s finest, most talented, and most dedicated exports. Apart from running his own top tier label,  LKR (@lkrrecords) , Lucas has been releasing music under various aliases for 5+ years now, on incredible labels including Kalahari Oyster Cult and Furthur Electronix. It's been incredible to watch his sound grow and evolve. Somehow always something new and exciting, but always classy and refined. we were so lucky to have him close out the event, especially before he jets off on a huge Europe tour very soon. Pure minimal electro class from beginning to end, filled with forthcoming Reptant bangers and beyond. 

Not only are you a dear friend, but we are so proud of you and we love you so much Lucas! 

Next Animalia x Vortex event  @ miscellania  19th june

Save the date. Let’s get cubed….

Shedbug 

Next up we’d like to present none other than the astonishing Shedbug. With releases on Of Paradise, Lobster Theremin and Deeptrax there is a big chance you’ve heard of the Australian already. Lately, he has been busy with the Salt Mines label that he runs together with his partner in crime Rudolf C. 

For DUSK214 the wizard himself prepared an eclectic masterclass; starting energetic and contagious, quickly accelerating towards a harsher maybe even experimental sound all while alternating textures and intensity. Words come too short for this masterpiece so we’d like to recommend you to just check it out, and while you’re at it: check the man's discography as well, because it contains some absolute worldies.

HVL / Gacha Bakradze - Splits EP (OA010)

Lucas J. Hatzisavas has several different aliases but as Reptant (@reptant_the_lizard) since 2017, he has really excelled. The Melbourne-based reptilian has spread his electro sounds far and wide on always classy labels from Kalahari Oyster Cult to Trust to Craigie Knowes. His acid-laced machine sounds are often jammed out live before being edited into tracks. They are imaginative, bristle with energy and feed into an alien lizard narrative he's built around the project, not least with his debut album Return To Planet X'trapolis.

This week we're invited to peer through a window into that otherworldly universe with 60+ minutes of kinetic rhythms and cinematic sound designs. All shades of electro come up from sleazy and ghetto to sci-fi and smooth. Plenty of acid lines weave their way throughout as Reptant slithers from dark corners of the cosmos to strobe-lit dance floors amongst the stars.

Reptant - Neurogenesis in the adult reptilian brain

For full track listing click here: https://bleep.com/features/bleep-mix-117--reptant

Reptant’s addition to Bleep’s new mix series is a fine demonstration of the squelching strain of electro that the Australian producer has slipped into the water supply over the past few years. Beginning with a fizzing (and unreleased) soundscape from the producer himself, the rest of this hour-long set deals in the kind of technoid machine-funk mutations that will appeal to fans of imprints like Planet Euphorique and Central Processing Unit. Tunes come from esteemed artists such as Annie Hall, Datassette and Sansibar as well as further productions from @reptant_the_lizard himself - again, some of which are unreleased at the time of writing. 

"A mix between of eerie introspection, uneasiness and a fighting drive bridged with broken rhythm and a new fetish for high frequency bleeps. This mix was recorded in isolation and seems to capture everything I was feeling at the time, all the ups and downs, one track a time. Containing plenty of unheard material from friends and I."
