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.

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.

Wanted to put this recording online before the end of the year. It was my first time at Freerotation and was one of my fave sets(and definitely my favourite weekend)of the year. The whole thing was so hyped up in my head (I've wanted to go for years) but it really lived up to expectations - believe the hype - very rare. An honour to be involved. Big love to Steevio + Suzybee and everyone there, all the new people I met and the excellent vibeszszz xxx

Crack Mix 486: Identified Patient

Armenian artist @davenyxaether has been a focal point of our music consumption, lapping up each mix and release with fervent hunger, since his explosive track "strngr" on Serbian compilation @kepasaparadoks. His productions and mixes reach a level of frenzied beauty many can only dream of. Traversing deep ambient explorations, through grimey bass to fiery heights of percussive madness. His latest release on @typelessrecords is a further testament to his unique taste and skill for carving up volatile, percussive, bass-heavy hits. Dave N.A. everybody. Sit back (or stand up), whip out your gun fingers and enjoy.

DMX Krew Show - 18 February 2023

Gamma Intel (@gammaintelligence) is a sonic explorer who can rewire your brain with his left-of-centre approach to sound and rhythm. The Dutchman is a master of contrast between the dark corners of the dance floor and moments of emotional light. He draws on broken beats, acid, techno and electro but skews them through his own lens on labels like brokntoys, Pinkman and Mechatronica. He recently co-founded the Nerve Collect label with friend Identified Patient, and will release his E.M EP there at the end of March. 

Gamma's love of creative sampling and meticulous sound design carries over into the music he plays in his sets. This week's mix is perfect proof as it twists and turns on contorted basslines and muscular drum patterns. It's an intense and futuristic listen that goes through moments of all-out hand-in-the-air dance floor joy and heads down marching to slick jungle workouts and dystopian worlds of bass. Few DJs can manipulate sound in such thrilling ways.
