Soulwax

It’s important to point out that, just because 2manydjs and Soulwax involve the same people - specifically, David and Stephen Dewaele - and just because the pair often play shows that involve both sides of their musical careers, with both of those acts involved, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t entirely distinct entities, not least sonically. Where 2manydjs, perhaps unsurprisingly, have always been very much a dance act, Soulwax has seen the brothers explore the alternative rock scene, instead; for proof of their early credentials, consider the fact that their debut record under the moniker, 1996’s Leave the Story Untold, was produced by none other than Queens of the Stone Age collaborator Chris Goss. In the years since, they’ve gradually begun to work in more and more electronic, synthpop and dance influences into their sound, whilst keeping it entirely separate from their work as 2manydjs. Their live shows, as Soulwax, continue to incorporate a full live band, similar to, say LCD Soundsystem, with the rhythm sections key to a sound that, with its repetitive and often droney nature, is not too far removed from krautrock. The pair continue to play regular Soulwaxmas events at the end of the year across the UK to packed rooms; nothing’s been announced for this coming December yet, but certainly keep your eyes peeled.

Awesome show, in fact, so good they needed 3 drummers!
Was great to hear a mix of the latest album tracks and some of the older tho still awesome Nite Versions tracks - love those grungy, analogue Korg synth sounds.
Venue was great too - nice glass lift up to the 4th floor and a bar right next to the gig - near enough to grab a couple more beers mid-gig :-)

Epic, disappointed they didn't play any earlier material but loved the set, 3 drummers playing in sync was awesome, played all tracks from dee wee and couple of classics like Krack and NY excuse, had a great time....
