Following a bit of a hiatus after the release of his beautifully crafted, second EP, Drømmeland with @coastal-haze, @Fruitdj is back and kicking. 

Originally from Iceland, but currently based in Denmark Fruit has made a name for himself in the Copenhagen club scene with his erudite DJing and live-sets. We’re stoked to have him on for our 23rd mix in the series, in anticipation of his forthcoming (and much hyped) third EP release this spring.

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.

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?
he/him. Currently in Glasgow, Scotland. 

All of my fingers are double jointed

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

Spending time with friends and my partner,Linn Park crematorium, the atlantic ocean,sunrises, sunsets, watching films. At the time of writing this I have just returned from Drop Everything festival in Ireland and am feeling creatively charged after that too. 


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

Byron Yeates- we have been friends and playing together for 10 years and I am constantly in awe of their depth and skill! Love you B! 

How do you typically prepare a mix?

Depends, if I’m tight for time finding a bunch of stuff that goes together from my collection already, if it’s for a bigger project I usually write down some stuff about the vibe and try and base my mix off a couple of important tracks in it. I’ll usually try out a few drafts and listen and see what it does or doesn’t need, digging digging digging digging as I’m getting it together.

How do you avoid burnout? 

Saying no, listening to the birds and napping. 

Who do you think is the most underrated artist of our time?

Hard to say in this internet bubble time but deejay wise probably Cáit and Angel D’Lite (there are many other mix masters I admire getting due credit which is great to see too). 



What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Not quite where I reside but Radiant Love is my favourite party. I have had my most life-affirming club experiences there and they have set the benchmark for how to run an event. The music, the people, the ethos, the space, the sound… it’s a real privilege to be able to contribute even if it’s in a very small capacity. Shout out to DIP and Gash Collective in Ireland and Shoot Your Shot in Glasgow too; High Hoops in Manchester doing great things as well.  


What was your best moment at the supermarket?

Morrisons reduced section on a regular basis- I fuck so hard with 13p bags of herbs

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

https://soundcloud.com/spielraum-amsterdam/byron-yeates-at-spielraum-april-17th-2022 

B has so many shades to their sound and it’s a delight hearing the tougher end of it. Recorded live no less! Big shout out to Cáit and Angel D’Lite’s contributions to the Hue & Saturation series too.  

Dream DJ gig?

Closing Radiant Love, Berghain or Nowadays; playing to all of my friends on a dancefloor at once with a huge sound system- doesn’t matter where or when, this would be enough.

Any advice to upcoming DJs? 

Don’t sweat mixing, find music that you LOVE, don’t pay attention to others and figure out what it is you like about the music you play and follow your ears x

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

Wider discussions about what a truly safe space means, accountability,accessibility, diversity, privilege and gatekeeping. I feel like it’s actually more harmful to say a safe is space when proper measures aren’t being taken. 

I had a horrific experience of being needle spiked in an otherwise safe queer space recently so I would like to see more safeguarding measures against this happening in clubs (I plan to expand about this a bit more publicly somewhere soon). Fuck all of the predatory men out there. 

Collective and communal action targeting white supremacy, the patriarchy and abusers having any sort of power in dance music and wider society as a whole. I dream of dance floor utopia. 

I would really really like to see less phones in DJ booths and on dancefloors too and a big move away from the social media focus. 

Also more focus on communities building homegrown scenes and not relying on international bookings for anything. More resident DJs.
