Modern Ruin Records proudly presents its debut release "Present Decay EP"
The first release of this London based record label is dedicated in showcasing some of the most talented and innovative artists making moves on the juke/footwork scenes around the world. 
The tracks featured range from warehouse bangers to disco jivers and will accommodate for a wide range of musical preferences and styles.

The first track is a rolling dancefloor destroyer from "Pawn" This regular player on the Shoot Recordings label is no stranger to dirty bass music and each release has seen him go from strength to strength with this newest release "Do U" being no exception.
With its rolling drums and heavy baseline this track drops like a stick of dynamite and will no doubt be followed by some crazy leg movements on dancefloors across the globe. 
 
The second track is from a true pioneer of juke music. His Label "Dynamix Records" has seen him pushing some of the best and brightest artists on the juke scene to date. "Matt Davis" AKA "The Renegades" brings us "The Warmup" a beautiful example of a juke/jungle hybrid which really shows his passion for the old skool while giving it a modern twist. His love for melodic soundscapes and jungle drums rings true throughout this track and will bring joy to all the old skool and new skool ravers alike.   

Track three is from one the most dynamic producers i have ever come across, it seems there is no style of music this man cannot make. Better known for his disco and house record labels "Vorres" AKA "sccucci manucci" has been a big part of the music industry for many years now and his releases span from deep house to garage to dubstep. "One of these old days" is a beautiful soul gospel take on juke and has a truly unique and a melodic sound that you will want to play again and again.   

Finally we have a brilliant upbeat disco/juke edit from "Sideswipe". This track would be just as at home on any disco dancefloor as it would be at a warehouse rave. "Be With U" has all the groove and funk anyone could ask for while still staying true to the juke format. "MUKATSUKU" label owner "Nik Weston" has already shown the track some love and incorporated this new sound into his future disco/funk sets. This final track rounds off a truly innovative and exciting EP which is one not to be missed.

A footwork inspired ode to one of our favourite hip hop classics, “Supa Star” is taken from Bennelux’s forthcoming “mixtape”, ‘Old to the New’, available solely as a Bandcamp download and limited vinyl release on Astigmatic Records, from 17 July. 

According to Astigmatic, “Bennelux is creating a parallel footwork universe as an alternative to golden age hip hop. 90s hip hop was a musical signpost to millennials. Both the Astigmatic Records crew and Bennelux duo’s roots are deeply connected to four elements of hip hop culture. ‘Old to the New’ is a combination of early musical inspirations blended with modern 160BPM juke and the footwork world.

‘Old to the New’ is a sentimental journey through the culture that has inspired a new wave of artists – from graphic designers, painters, directors and dancers to electronic music producers. 
Bennelux is a producer duo based in London (UK) and Poznan (Poland). Benncart and Lux Familiar specialise in high energy juke music, footwork, jungle and everything else based around 160BPM. On the ‘Old to the New’ mixtape they’re paying homage to 90s hip-hop from New York.”

“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

Available to pre-order now, the ‘Old to the New’ mixtape will be released on 17th July by Astigmatic Records.
