2001 was the year in which Lucas Abadi moves back to Buenos Aires, the city where he was born 21 years ago.
He began to make himself a name in the Buenos Aires underground scene, taking part in respected events at places like Club Buenos Aires, John John (Deep Down & Dirty), Novecento, El Dorado (Buenos Beats), y MaxXximo Bar, among others, sharing the booth with another renowed Argentinian DJs such as Facu Carri, Vidart, and Digitaux.
In late 2004, he got the opportunity to play regularly at the terrace of the legendary club Pacha. These events were called B-Side, and they took place twice a month at the famous club, with more than 2000 people in every ocasion.
Later performances took place at Mint Lounge, another legendary club in the house scene since its beginnings as El Cielo, in the early 90s; the Shamrock basement; Cobra (formerly Animal); Opera Bay; Mao Room; Superclub@Club Araoz, along djs such as Aad (from 16 Bit Lolitas), Stephane K, Tom Neville, Kosmas Epsilon, Paul Rogers, Guy Gerber, Jody Wisternoff (from Way Out West), Matt Rowan, Jaytech, and Greg Vickers, to name a few, and at 2005 B-Side parties, and Nokia Trends at Pacha. In november 2005, he made his debut at Warung Beach Club (Camboriu, Brazil) canned by DJ Mag as one the best clubs in the world, along Danny Howells and Ashley Caselle.
In 2006, his sets were heard at D-Edge (Sao Paulo); the festival RBK Tops (Rio de Janeiro), with Josh Wink, King Unique, and Behrouz and Ricky Ryan; and at Claro Subvisions (Porto Alegre) with Lutzenkirchen.
In the end of 2005 he was named by Desyn Masiello as a “DJ that will breakthrough in 2006†in DJ Mag’s last edition of the year.
His name began to grow in Brazil in 2006, establishing himself as one of the main Argentinian revelations throughout the months. His frequent gigs in the country lead to a residency in Warung, playing regularly on the terrace of the acclaimed beach club during the summer of 2007.
His talent and ear to find hidden gems didn’t pass unnoticed for canadian DJ & producer Luke Fair, who called Lucas to be the A&R for Electraluxe Records, the canadian’s imprint later the same year, also stating him as one of his favourite djs.
Lucas’ blend of house, electro, disco, funk, tech and prog textures, converges in a unique style not easy to clasify, deep and hypnotic for a moment, and detonating and plain mad for others.bookings:
