@lukabeatovic is a producer based in Novi Sad, Serbia. To reduce the scope of his work to ambient alone might disregard the multifarity of his approach, encompassing field recordings, sound collage, soundtracking and shifts into noise and minimalist electronica. The style is always capacious and referential - pulling from Celtic folk-music, city pop, natural sounds, e.g., - without ever decentring the source, allowing space to form around the reappropriated material such that it is always the core of that moment in the music and not subordinate to the arc of the music-maker. This is an identity built over a series of short-form and full-length projects self-released between 2020-2025 and is ever-present in his Realist mix, luxuriating in the absence of apparent splendor, the simple sufficience of the sound of the sound of things.

Luka’s mix contains previously unreleased material, plus a pair of original reworks. Adding some background to these pieces, Luka mentioned the centrality of “field recordings I got over the month I was recording the mix as well as previously recorded ones. A stone I found that’s hollow and “chalk-like” being dragged over a concrete surface is the basis for the Caislean Õir rework. A pillow being rustled is the basis for the Hawthorn one. For Yewende, the bird sounds are actually my friends hooting on a hilltop near my city and the man speaking before them is a Serbian Farm YouTube guy. Pania Tower Marshes was made for a DnD session and the cranes were recorded at a marsh nearby.” There is always the same sense of ease - not easiness, but of a music where the point is not that to which the sound contributes but the orbital importance innate to every individual sound. Few producers would abdicate their authorship in an alike way. And this here is the signature of authorship.

This ones a hurter from that baby old laptop, early doors from back in the early day. But now it's about 10 years on time to play. We lost scraps over time, lost layers off my jacket lost bits of my mind, jittered at a high level, jittered very high freq, big Char socking it off its time we lock in once again time after time, day after day, new layers to this soil new layers to this clay, it's time #rinsers

MOTH

conflict comes wrapped in neat clusters closed pockets
conflict pushes your eyeball out of your socket when you
try to go further than your walls can stand and the
door to the room is closed, you try to knock it look in-
-side, find out theres nothing there but more questions more
queries for the false teachings fed by false prophets, and the
questions turn back on themselves, what of it?
As long as the door is closed, all i can hear is clocks

ticking to the sounds I try to add to, people 
clicking to the sounds  I take from and act blue blooded like they can
get everyone's attention, it's moths to a light;
it's moths to a light

~

never too much from the source, always come
back to finish our course, we're
moths to the light from our own walls spreading our force-

never too much in our walls, forever bring
more to the table consume our downfalls
