Full live set for my favorite crew @gomilanajjace is in bio.
To me, this was special because I was able to perform and blast my shit through laser speakers at a place where is close to home and where I go for my walks and collect the sounds anyway. A very special thanks to @bozegowic for being an overall good guy and legend.
Watch/listen to “Old World sparrows”.

Early Summer is out !!!! The title refers to Ozu’s film and I’m still not sure what in it does it refer to.
Thank you for your support as it is important to me.
Peace, health and love
Luka Beatović 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.
Luka’s mix airs at 6PM (BST) via Realist Alive Radio on Soundcloud.
