Soulwax
Titans of boundary-pushing sonic thrills, the Belgian electronic outfit ignite the atmosphere with their signature high-voltage sound.
With two Grammy nominations, multiple studio albums and world-famous remixes, and decades of electrifying live shows under their belts, Soulwax perhaps needs little introduction.
The long-running project of brothers Stephen and David Dewaele, Soulwax are a ‘supergroup of two’ with an ever-innovative and boundless approach to producing, djing and performing.
For their live show, the rhythms are dialled up ten notches by the duo’s full band: Stefaan Van Leuven, Laima Leyton and three (yes, three) drummers, Iggor Cavalera, Blake Davies and Aurora Bennett.
Their 2025 album All Systems Are Lying, feels, and sounds, like the ‘crazy’ time we’ve now found ourselves in. With its rock-guitar-sounding synths, the record is full of dynamic, goosebump-inducing songs including ‘Run Free’, ‘Gimme A Reason’ and ‘Idiots In Love’ stand out as genre-defying electronic rock songs.
David and Stephen Dewaele have consistently pushed the boundaries of music into new and innovative territory through their expansive creative universe. They’re a band (Soulwax), djs (2manydjs), a record label and studio (DEEWEE) and a sound system (Despacio).
