I first met Lucas Koba a couple of years ago when he came to play at RSI on the Cowgate. He had also submitted a few mixes to us and some tunes he had written himself which really impressed me.
Our intention was to have him as a resident but he somehow dropped off the radar so we hired someone else. I thought maybe he'd moved back to his homeland of Poland to become a big shot DJ there because I'd heard that he was quite well known as a DJ over there.
Once I finally caught up with him he was still in Edinburgh but had moved house, changed numbers and been off the internet. Since then he's moved again, this time to Cork in Ireland but was back recently to DJ at Cabaret Voltaire's club night We Are... Electric where he played an amazing set of tribal minimal and pounding techno, poor Wolfjazz had a tough act to follow that night I tell you!
The mix Lucas has on RSI Radio this week is a deep, progressive and dreamy one titled, 'Missing Edinburgh' which touched me somewhat!
It was great to see you again Lucas, thanks for the mix. I hope everyone enjoys it!
