Very good. His track into the Some Bizarre compilation was also kind of a jewel...

.... great. Always wanted a live impression of Eric Random. Thanks for that. But where is 'Wire Me Up' available now ? Will there be a digital version too ?

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.

Reptant - 14.66°S, 145.46°E

At 5 am, the smoke was beginning to lift and a tender May sun was climbing up the horizon thrusting its rays into the dark corridor of a warehouse. Leaned against the resonating wall, a woman was taking a slow drag on her cigarette. 
- Hey, sorry, got a light?  
- Sure.
A soft warm smile lit her face that seemed so familiar. Turned out it was she who had been playing a few hours before making all present drip with sweet sweat. The character of her music was nothing like anyone else's but like a morning sun ray or a strobing in the darkness light, like an enveloping fog or an impenetrable wall of cigarette smoke, like fragility or power, like Karine..
