Lepablot's interest in electronic music began in the mid-90s as he discovered the first songs from bands like Motorbass, Cassius, and Daft Punk. He found their sound to be incredibly captivating and distinct from the music that was popular in his city at that time. By the late 90s, he became deeply immersed in house music, particularly its deep and soulful aspects. He fell in love with those tracks that conveyed so much through synthesizers, pianos, and drums, without relying heavily on lyrics. Lepablot's music style primarily revolves around house, combining dancefloor appeal, classic old-school vibes, and an underground groove. In his sets, he skillfully weaves together a blend of late 80s and early 90s tracks, seamlessly mixing them with fresh releases. Since 2011, he has been playing for different audiences at festivals, clubs, and renowned venues across Argentina, Uruguay, the USA, and France.

A conversation w/ CHKLTE
My relationship with electronic music started when I was around 14. Friends at school put me on to a Danny Howells Global Underground mix and the Deep Dish Moscow mix, and I became obsessed. Back home, I’d sneak into the local club using my older brother’s ID just to see the local DJs—Solrok (Robert Roman of Ubiyu), Klepto & DJ Art—every Wednesday. Promoters Maria and Ricky would let me into events even though I was underage, and whenever I could, I’d sneak away with friends to Monterrey to see artists I couldn’t catch in Texas. Those early moments shaped everything for me.

If someone hears my sound for the first time, I’d say the goal is to transmit energy and emotion based on the room, time, and atmosphere. Every set is different, but I always try to give people the most energy possible and make them dance, feel, and connect with the music I’m feeling in that moment.

Traveling to Europe starting around 2016 opened my ears even more. Hearing how different crowds and scenes interpret electronic music made me appreciate how producers around the world bring their own flavor and influences. Those differences inspire me constantly and make me love this music even more.

When preparing for a set, I’m a mix of deep digger and spontaneous selector. I love playing tracks that I know most people don’t have—music sent to me by friends, unreleased stuff, or things I find digging through Discogs and record stores when I travel. As much as I play older cuts, I also support the new music people send me. As a producer myself, I know how special it feels when someone plays your track out.

A moment that genuinely shifted my perspective was Fumiya Tanaka at Art Basel 2022 for UN_MUTE. I’ve been a huge fan for years, but that set in particular felt like he understood exactly what many of us were going through musically. It hit straight to the heart. Since then, I’ve had the chance to share the decks with him a few times, which made that moment even more meaningful.

This mix was recorded in Detroit the weekend after a gig—basically after partying and playing for about 12 close friends. It definitely carries some groovers and the mood of that night.

What excites me about today’s underground movement is that it’s constantly evolving. We can’t stop that, but we can guide it—by educating the newer generation and staying connected to the realness and the roots that made us fall in love with this scene. Collaboration, openness, and community are 
what keep underground culture alive.

Outside the booth and studio, my inspiration comes from my family and friends. They keep me grounded and motivated every single day.

As for what’s next: I have several releases coming up on both digital and vinyl. I can’t reveal everything yet, but if you follow me on social media you’ll see the announcements as they come. Event-wise, I’ll be busy in the US toward the end of the year, then heading to Australia and New Zealand early next year to enjoy the summer down under.

There are too many influences to name these days—so many producers and DJs I admire deeply. Some of the main ones include FURZ, SNAD, Garrett David, Shonky, Dyed Soundorom, Jane Fitz, Raresh, Saenz, Samuel Deep, Tristan da Cunha, O.BEE, tINI, and James Zabiela, just to name a few.

Harrison BDP stands as one of the true masters of that off-world deep house sound, and he is the first to land on our new label, Jupiter's Depth. The EP delivers it all — from deep, trippy journeys to pacey dub-techno rollers. No question, another Discogs relic in the making.

Release date: 12 Dec

Harrison BDP - So What

Gabu celebrates the sound of Saudi’s deeper underground. Gabu, a pan Arabic colloquial term for basement, is the home for deeper house, from the emotive to the downright filthiest of grooves, connecting house tribes from around the Middle East and the world.
