Astigmatic Records is releasing a mixtape by Bennelux, called Old To The New, this July.

Bennelux is a producer duo made up of Benncart (London) and Lux Familiar (Poland).

Pulling inspiration from the late juke/footwork legend DJ Rashad as well as 90’s hip-hop from New York, the mixtape draws deeply on the four elements of hip-hop culture.

‘We wanted to go back in time and create something completely fresh and unique moving it to the current fast-moving field of juke and footwork descending from Chicago. Most of our songs started from samples that were previously being used in some of the classic hip-hop tunes that shaped our musical taste.’ – says Benncart

The majority of the project was recorded in 2014 the year DJ Rashad passed away. On the mixtape, you’ll find two tracks that are self-devoted to the legendary Teklife crew producer, including “Moment of Silence” which premiered in 2016 on Soundcloud, taking by storm the footwork community.
