Nativecast // 015 — Dragan Zarnoff

Lucid Distraction has long developed a passion for electronic music coming from the UK, Chicago, Detroit, and Berlin areas. As a DJ since 2011, he has developed an ear for a very dynamic sound, ever evolving, but still staying true to it’s roots. 

Far from the traditional his style can be characterized as a progressive take on the electro, house, break, ghetto tech, and other genres incorporating driving baselines along with acidic synths and grooving drums. He does not feel tied to just one genre. Lucid can be a bit of a wildcard and jack of all trades with unique and vast vibes surfacing in his releases. 

Deciding to branch out and start realizing his own productions in 2019, he has strayed far from the traditional and 2024 seems to be finding him placement on forward thinking labels throughout the world. He has also started his own electronic music collective, party, and mix series based in Downtown Los Angeles called Native Boundaries.

He has spun legendary LA staples such as Sound Nighclub, The Viper Room, Pattern Bar, Lokels Only, and many more as well as been signed to international labels like Steve Bug's Berlin based Sublease Music, Portugal based Ovelha Trax, Columbia based Bogoture, London based Hyperdome and more.

Born as a minimal and deep house label in 2021, Native took a decisive turn into heavier territory in late 2022 with EP releases from the fast-rising Etari and label head Lucid Distraction, shortly followed by a 21-track VA featuring the likes of Osutin, Lord Pusswhip, Mezer, Karawai, Mister Sticktalk, In2Stellar, Snarexx, DJ Simlocked and more. These releases earned support from Filth, Inc., Kernel, Moskalus, 6AM, Crazed Behavior, Les Yeux Orange and many more. Native Boundaries has established itself as a respected curator of parties and mixes that push the boundaries of experimentation in the Los Angeles underground, uniting fans of electro, juke, breaks, acid and more.
