REPTANT (live)
(Kalahari Oyster Cult, AUS)
Ahead of his premier appearance at Dimensions festival and following his first-ever live performance in the history of the Dekmantel Selectors festival, one of the most formidable Australian reptiles, electro producer, and DJ Reptant will grace Slovenia for the first time in June.
The high-voltage retrofuturism from the South Pacific is the result of the last 5 years of work by one of Australia's most prominent electronic producers, Lucas Hatzisavas. Reptant's reptilian mythology, woven around his work, is similar to an underwater sonic resonance, distantly related to the pinnacle of electro reference, Drexciya.
Audiences craving fast-paced electro tunes that haven't sacrificed funk, mystique, and hypnotism have been faithful to Reptant for several years, opening doors for him at the Dekmantel festival and their podcast, Tresor's Globus, and lineups alongside heavyweights like Helena Hauff, DMX Krew, and Sansibar. On Friday June 14th, he will be joined by a phalanx of young local electro talent spanning from the Adriatic to the Pacific.
ZENKER BROTHERS
(ILIAN TAPE, DE)
Marco and Dario, credibility and techno. The Bavarian brothers, like true German diesel engines without glitches, reliably cruise along the techno highway, never lingering in the past. As the heads of the Illian Tape label, they confidently navigate even the winding detours.
Indeed, it's these twists and turns, or rather breaks, that characterize their vibrant imprint, where heavyweights like Skee Mask, Andrea, and Stenny emerge, shaping the technoid offshoots of the past decade. The Zenker brothers, always operating outside popular trends, infuse them with rich dubby atmospheres and melancholic melodies, resonating from Tresor to 50Weapons. The fraternal duo has spun records in all the relevant techno havens, contributing mixes to stalwart series like Bassiani, Fabric, and Fact, among others.
Without PR stunts, dwelling on the past, or succumbing to TikTok trends, the Zenker brothers have remained techno standard-bearers for 15 years. They view techno not just as a DJ tool but as a force to be reckoned with, gracing renowned festivals like Dekmantel as well as intimate gatherings. Hence, it's high time for them to make their debut in Ljubljana, specifically at the Keep in Mind festival this June.
