Getting inspiration from the song "Kill Everybody" by Skrillex while a freshman in high school, he originally began producing a variety of genres from progressive house.
"[4] On April 11, 2018, Lucas self-released "U Don't Know Me", a collaboration with bass and trap music producer Wevor Trill, via the record label Jadū Dala.
Dani of Nest HQ described the song as having a "nostalgic heaviness to it, reminiscent of the Hudson Mowhawke, Sinjin Hawke era of trap records from the mid-2000s and focuses on spartan percussion, chippy synth slots, and a genuinely massive 808.
"[7] Writing for Bassrush, Chris Muniz judged the extended play by its tracklist, describing it as giving "a sense of the kind of otherworldly vibrations you’re bound to conjure up in your chakras as bits like "Aliens", "Arrival", "Invasion", and the title cut "Imposters" craft a body-snatching scenario sure to have you and the squad wilding out in the forest and howling at the moon.
On release, Lucas commented on how he got the opportunity to the song, stating "I was really honoured when [Liquid Stranger] handed over the stems," further writing "He said only do this if you can 100% smash it, so obviously a lot of pressure.
[16] Jordan Mafi of Nest HQ described the lead track as "channelling the sounds of a society demolished by aliens into a barren wasteland", finalising his review by summarising the extended play up as "a beautifully breakneck EP for the true bass fanatics.
"[24] Your EDM's Matthew Meadow called it a combination of "old school wubs with modern-day trap aesthetics and wonky production", further stating that the two collaborators had released a truly "terrifying and original tune that would work well in any set.
In the description of the release, Lucas wrote: "I went around and hand-selected some underground tracks from producers who deserve the spotlight, as well as picked some IDs of mine and put them into the mix.
[36] Sophia of EDM Sauce gave the extended play generally good reception, describing the remixers as one who "bring their production skills to the forefront for new takes on the track.
"[38] RaverRafting's Chad Downs commended the extended play, writing "From beginning to end, the EP is a proverbial journey through filthy sound to which listeners will certainly break their necks.
"[39] On February 12, 2019, Lucas released his remix of the song "Lights Go Down" by American electronic music producer Jauz and Canadian duo Zeds Dead.
"[40] Brian Bonavoglia of ThisSongSlaps praised the remix, writing that Lucas has continued to impress with each release, stating "With his eclectic brand of mind-numbing bass, the menacing mastermind has injected his signature touch on "Lights Go Down" taking the explosive original and flipping it upside in a way that only Peekaboo can.
"[49] One of Lucas' early inspirations, American producer Skrillex, would adopt a throwback dubstep sound for his highly anticipated sophomore album, Quest for Fire, released in February 2023.
Both of these terms that were both coined to originally describe Liquid Stranger's subgenre of focus, which later extended to multiple other artists including Lucas, Bleep Bloop, LSDREAM and Mersiv.
[55][56] He has also received support from various 'heavy weight' electronic music producers including Rezz, Bassnectar, RL Grime, Caspa and Liquid Stranger.
