With a foothold each in the worlds of indie rock and dance, theres perhaps no better beachhead into the early aughts than this work from the Dewaele brothers. By 2002, their project Soulwax (then predominantly seen as a rock band? though the lines were already starting to blur) had crossed over from Western European curio to the forefront of the more US driven post-punk revival. With a sound that reached for garage rock and art-damaged dance punk in equal measure, Soulwax positioned themselves as something of a fulcrum between the warring camps right as the indie kids started to want to dance. The Dewaeles brothers were also burgeoning DJs in their own right, having put together a series of well-received and musically eclectic radio broadcasts on a program they dubbed Radio Soulwax. Sensing a need to split between their duties, the name 2manydjs was adapted for their more club focussed endeavors, debuting with the now legendary As Heard On Radio Soulwax Pt. 2 compilation. 20 years on, 2manydjs is bringing back Radio Soulwax Pt. 2 with a special reissue and a December anniversary gig at Brixton Academy with fellow 2002 travelers Miss Kittin, Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul, among others. Radio Soulwaxs eye-popping setlist still contains marvels even in the streaming age. Few DJs would see a through line between Emerson, Lake, & Palmer, Ural 13 Diktators, and The Breeders, but therein lies the twisted genius of 2manydjs. Of course, this compilation was but the very beginning of a journey for the duo and the Deewee label
