20 years of Lucas Benjamin & Nobunaga

In 2006, two Dutch dancers, originally known as Lu-Chi'sz & Panic, shifted their focus and became DJs. Over the past 20 years, they have become household names within the global dance battle scene and beyond. Their continuous hunger for discovering new music has taken them through funk, soul, jazz, hip hop, R&B, house, broken beat, Afrobeat, Brazilian, Latin, and contemporary electronic sounds. For this club night, the duo reunites behind the decks to celebrate their 20th anniversary, taking you on a journey through a wide range of sounds and feelings.
