Biografía
The brothers originally formed the electronica band, Soulwax, starting to make music under this moniker in 1995. They created a DJ show on Belgian national radio called 'Hang The DJ,' which displayed their eclectic knowledge of music, creating mixes that had everything from Grandmaster Flash, to the Beastie Boys to Herbie Hancock to AC/DC, making mash-ups of a vast array of artists.
Having conquered Belgian and Dutch fans, they moved to break into the London, UK scene, creating head-turning sets for Xfm radio as well as performing at clubs in the capital. Their album releases became hugely popular, gaining them significant popularity, as well as producing number of high profile remixes for artists which broadened their audience. Their album, "Much Against Everyone's Advice" was a huge success, breaking into the top 40 in the UK.
Performing as 2manyDJs, their extensive use of sampling made it difficult for them to produce music legally, having to pay off an extensive number of royalties to various artists. "As Heard on Radio Soulwax Pt. 2," in 2002, became their first official and legal release, having huge influence on the dance music scene, inspiring new DJs to create genre-bending mash-ups.
Their "2 Many DJs" record features tracks such as a mix of Destiny's Child's "Independent Women" alongside 10CC's "Dreadlock Holiday," or the Stooge's "No Fun" with Salt 'N' Pepa's "Push It." Their music is humorous yet these tongue-in-cheek mash-ups are all laden with groove and top-drawer production, making for an exciting listen, making a mockery of the word 'genre.'

My boyfriend is a huge fan of 2manydj's so I got him tix for his birthday. We went to see them perform live. It was literally just two dj's on stage. But we had a blast, and I think it was something we'll remember for a long time. The venue was big, lots and lots of people, but there were speakers all over the place so I didn't feel too far away from the stage.
The artists didn't do any talking whatsoever so there wasn't really a personal connection but as I watched them I started imagining that they were robots, which made the concert even more fun- boyfriend and I started joking about it between songs.
I liked the electro beat and that they sounded like the songs were almost mash ups with lots of beats.Very enjoyable. I wish there was more music like this out there, I liked it a lot more than the stuff I normally hear all over the place, and the generic stuff you hear in clubs. I'd like to keep going to these concerts with my boyfriend, it was a great time and we made a lot of memories. These guys were awesome.
I have been going to 2ManyDj gigs for over a decade, and what I have always enjoyed is how they've always surprised and delighted sampling chart hits and classics with big dance beats, allowing you to lose yourself in the moment. Sadly the recent gig at the O2 Glasgow was a bit underwhelming... With just a couple of enjoyable snippets, for most of the 90 minutes set they failed to maintain any level of momentum.
