They grew up in the Belgian city of Ghent, a "very small town" with a large student population and a central location that played a major role in their musical development. During the end of the '80s, Ghent was the center for a lot of electro and new beat.
Dance music and rock music crossed over all the time here. The brothers were exposed to music from an early age as well. But he was very surprised when we decided to start a band and play instruments. The DJing just came about when we were touring as a band. We would get very bored, and we decided to DJ after shows so we could party. Now the brothers Dewaele and crew have launched the multifaceted Radio Soulwax tour, which combines DJ sets from their 2 Many DJs incarnation with live sets from the band now called Soulwax Nite Versions.
This will be their first U. British director Saam Farahmand probably best known for his American Apparel make-out sesh video for Simian Mobile Disco's "Hustler" has been filming the tour's dates so far for what Dewaele calls "a documentary meets Stop Making Sense kind of film" about the band.
It's a properly schizophrenic way to experience the Dewaele brothers' mashed-up musical efforts, with the rock band playing dance music and the DJs playing everything else. And it's a satisfying setup for the brothers as well. Music Apr 19, Support The Stranger More than ever, we depend on your support to help fund our coverage.

People, we must assume, are too afraid to do otherwise for fear of being the boring and forgettable weak link of the night. As are myopic and eager beaver residents who, caught in the trappings of their own tiny limelight, want to be the star of the night rather than the cultured opener who perfectly sets the tone for the whole evening.
A great DJ set is a story; something that requires structure and narrative, a start, middle and end, just like those short stories we all had to write as kids. The only way to achieve this is to trust in your chosen headliner; give him the time and space he needs to go deep into his craft. Copyright Thrust Publishing Ltd.
