'''Soulwax''' are a Belgian electronic band and DJ/production collective from Ghent, who formed in 1995. Centred around brothers '''David''' and '''Stephen Dewaele''', other current members include Igor and Laima Cavalera, and Stefaan Van Leuven. The group first rose to prominence following the release of their album ''Much Against Everyone's Advice'', and have released five studio albums to date. Outside of Soulwax, the Dewaeles also perform DJ sets under the moniker '''2manydjs''' (first known as The Fucking Dewaele Brothers/The Flying Dewaele Brothers<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|date=2019-01-21|title=Soulwax : la musique ne s'arrête jamais !|url=https://www.proximus.be/pickx/fr/1917592/soulwax-la-musique-ne-s-arrete-jamais|access-date=2020-07-17|website=www.proximus.be|language=fr}}</ref>).

The group are also known for their project Radio Soulwax. Their 2002 compilation, ''As Heard on Radio Soulwax Pt. 2'', was named the best popular music album of 2002 by ''The New York Times''.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Strauss|first=Neil|author-link=Neil Strauss|date=2002-12-29|title=MUSIC: THE YEAR IN REVIEW -- THE CRITICS/THE 10 BEST ALBUMS; Somber Anthems, Loose-Limbed Funk |work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/29/arts/music-year-review-critics-10-best-albums-somber-anthems-loose-limbed-funk-536890.html|access-date=2020-07-17|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> The brothers have also hosted a show on Belgian television, titled ''Alter8''.

==Career== Soulwax produced their first EP, ''2nd Handsome Blues'', in 1995 and their first full-length album, ''Leave the Story Untold'' in 1996.

The 2004 album ''Any Minute Now'' spawned three singles in "E Talking", "NY Excuse" and the title track. The "E Talking" music video was controversial and restricted to post-watershed broadcast on music television channels. Filmed on location in London's Fabric nightclub, everyone in the video is depicted as being on a different drug, listed from A through Z (including popular drug nicknames).<ref>{{cite AV media |first= Evan |last= Bernard |url= https://vimeo.com/65075943 |title= Soulwax E Talking |via= Vimeo |year= 2014 |access-date= 2020-01-10 }}</ref>

The group produced a number of official and unofficial remixes, including "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House" and "Get Innocuous!" by LCD Soundsystem, "Robot Rock" by Daft Punk and "Dare" by Gorillaz. They are friends of artists Tiga, LCD Soundsystem and WhoMadeWho. The album ''Nite Versions'' (2005) is a collection of remixes of tracks from the album ''Any Minute Now''.

In January 2006, Soulwax released their second remix album. Titled ''This Is Radio Soulwax'', it was covermounted into the February 2006 issue of ''Mixmag''. Their third remix album, ''Part of NYE Never Dies'', was also covermounted into ''Mixmag'' in late 2008.

In summer 2006, Soulwax completed a "Nite Version remix" of Gossip's "Standing in the Way of Control" as well as their "Ravelight Dub" and "Ravelight Vocal Mix" of Robbie Williams' "Lovelight". The summer 2006 tour was filmed by director Saam Farahmand, and resulted in the documentary "Part of the Weekend Never Dies".

In August 2006, Soulwax were working on tracks for the new album from Tiga. In late 2006, it was announced in Belgian magazine ''HUMO'' that David and Stephen Dewaele had formed a band with Shane Doran and his brother-in-law Fergadelic, called Die Verboten.

In 2007, Soulwax produced remixes of "Gravity's Rainbow" by Klaxons and "Phantom Pt. II" by Justice.

Soulwax, under the guise of 2manydjs, headlined their own "Radio Soulwax" tent at the Rock Ness Festival held on 9 June 2007. The following day at the festival, they played a Soulwax Nite Versions show in the "Clash Arena."<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Moloney|first1=Lara|last2=Whiting|first2=Neil|date=May 2005|title=Rockness Line-ups, 9 & 10 June|url=https://issuu.com/theskinny/docs/the_skinny_issue_20_comp-compressed|journal=The Skinny|issue=20|pages=42|via=Issuu}}</ref> Later that month, they took part in the Wild in the Country event at Knebworth Park on 30 June 2007.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2007-04-10|title=More names added to Wild in the Country|url=https://www.residentadvisor.net/news/8616|access-date=2020-07-17|website=Resident Advisor}}</ref> In December 2007, they held Radio Soulwax-mas, a massive Christmas party in Flanders Expo, with guests such as Tiga, Erol Alkan, Boys Noize, Justice, Riton, Mixhell, Daniele Baldelli, Hong Kong Dong, Das Pop, Goose, and Milk Inc.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Vanden Broeck|first=Joris|title=Radio Soulwax-mas :: 22 december 2007, Flanders Expo {{!}} enola.be|url=https://www.enola.be/2007/12/23/radio-soulwax-mas-22-december-2007-flanders-expo/|access-date=2020-07-17|website=enola.be|date=23 December 2007 |language=nl}}</ref>

===''As Heard on Radio Soulwax''=== In 2002, under the name 2manydjs, the Dewaele brothers released the compilation mixtape/mashup album ''As Heard on Radio Soulwax Pt. 2''. The album, structured as a continuous DJ mix, is composed of 45 tracks the Dewaeles were able to clear the rights for. They originally requested rights for 187 tracks and got clearances for 114 of them; 62 were refused, and 11 remained untraceable.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.nme.com/reviews/soulwax/6297 |title=Soulwax : 2 Many DJ – As Heard On Radio Soulwax Pt 2 |magazine=NME |access-date=2017-04-12}}</ref>

Despite the ''Pt. 2'' in the title, all other albums in the "series", even ''Pt. 1'', are unofficial fan-released bootlegs. Released from 2002 to 2012, they are mostly compiled from the ''Radio Soulwax'' and ''Hang the DJ'' series of mixes 2manydjs did for radio stations, including Studio Brussel (Belgium), Radio 1 (UK), KISS 100 (UK), and Eins Live (Germany); the last several installments in the series (''Pt. 12'' to ''Pt. 15'') are bootlegs of mixes from the 2011 incarnation of Radio Soulwax.<ref>{{cite web |title= 2 many DJ's website - Albums - Compilations | url = http://2manyDJs.free.fr/articles.php?lng=en&pg=56 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080109210413/http://2manydjs.free.fr/articles.php?lng=en&pg=56 |archive-date= 2008-01-09 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://toomanydjs.djmixes.net/2manydjsdisco.html|title=2manydjs - Info, Biography, Discography, tracklistings, Bootlegs, downloads|work=djmixes.net|access-date=23 March 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071226122944/http://toomanydjs.djmixes.net/2manydjsdisco.html#alternativenames|archive-date=26 December 2007}}</ref>

Director Saam Farahmand has filmed Soulwax on their international dates (2005–2007), capturing all the excitement, chaos and humour of the world tour. Soulwax filmed 120 shows with one camera in Europe, Japan, U.S., Latin America and Australia. This resulted in two films entitled "Part of the Weekend Never Dies"; a live music film and a documentary which includes 2manydjs, Soulwax Nite Versions and features James Murphy, Nancy Whang, Erol Alkan, Tiga, Justice, Busy P, The Naked Guy, So-Me, Peaches, Kitsuné, Klaxons and many more in behind the scenes footage, interviews, etc. They performed a sold-out gig at the London Royal Festival Hall, during which they did a première of the film.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2008-04-25 |title=Review: Radio Soulwax Presents... |url=https://londonist.com/2008/04/review_radio_so |access-date=2020-07-17 |website=Londonist }}</ref> It came out on DVD September 2008.
