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.

Tunnel Vision Records flyerman is back on @lyl_radio for his seventh season on the web.

Land with us on a new Planète Noire odyssey with a new kind of sounds generated from my nevrotic mind.

Welcoming on the first hour a tunnel hero from the far east : Japan's finest trancemaster @takumiinamoto1994 !

He did for us a very special shamanistic set, an hommage to UTAGE Festival, one of the pioneer of prog trance rave in japanese local rave scene (featuring absolute legends like Son Kite, Ticon and Double Dragon...).

@stakhan-607786920 is taking care of the 2nd part of the show with a very experimental mushroom feeling trancey set.

Welcome in our hypnotic world.
 
See you on the other side. 🌚💫🌚

Stumbling across Geo's Reminiscence Of A Park Party mix a couple of years ago and then rinsing his addition to our fav Steeplejack series, we were instant GeoFans. 

The Aussie DJ has had us racing around town with his recordings and so whilst we wait to get the chance to hear one of these magic sets live, we thought we'd get him to put together a recording for the mix series. He gave us the digital thumbs up and delivered us something pretty epic. P&P 041: Geo, get it

Passionate digger, obsessive record collector and digger, pérez is the founder of the DIY invite only, ‘sis tema soundsystem’ collective in the south-west of Spain, creating a community in his region for this particular non-existing sound. pérez (@usuario_m) brings a slice of what usually goes down during a peak time set and a showcase of his collection, after we previously enjoyed his contributions for @jeromemixfileseries and Paris's @radioflouka – A ride of psychedelic, euphoric, progressive classics - spiced up with some hints of goa, proto goa, and prog.

@https://soundcloud.com/nera-ja - Interstellar, progressive, and hypnotic transmissions collide within the work of Nera - a promising artist from the outskirts of Amsterdam. Nera’s unrivalled passion for electronic music with its underlying history and subcultures translate seemingly into her well-balanced selections of psychedelic rhythms and hidden trance gems with perfectly timed trips into the depths of layered emotive basslines. By merging the light and the dark while juxtaposing the old and the new, Nera’s sets become an evolving wave of energy, gradually raising the spirit on the dancefloor toward a transcendental sense of movement. Colourful and mindful - one foot on earth, one in outer space - creating a collective brainwave with ego-fading sound transmissions.

Lora Mipsum - Berlin 30.11.22

Such a pleasure to host ANNX on this month’s show. This guest mix has has been a long time coming, after playing for her at WHOMP back in June 2022 and having her on our very first tentacular party line-up here in Paris. 

ANNX is a wonderful & vibrant DJ but also a lovely human being. She is the mother of WHOMP - a non-profit charity party in London that she co-runs with another absolute boss Lora Mipsum. 

She also runs a new party series with a more psychedelic twist with Amphybian, called MAGICK. If you’re ever in London make sure to check out both as they rock, both in terms of vibes, crowd and line-ups.  

Anna sent over a few words words with her mix : « Whilst prepping for the show I wanted to hone in on the slower more mysterious and deeper side of my music taste. Expect an hour of minimal and deep techno with some organic percussions, bubbles and twangs telling a story with increasing energy and intrigue. Perfect listening for the winter months. 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Merci dear Anna for the groovy and deep ride
