Soulwax / 2Many DJs

[Ben_j]

 Skyscraper was asking if we should have a Soulwax topic, and I think we do ! They deserve their own topic

So I'll just copy/paste what I posted in the other topic regarding the Belgica OST they're doing

Didn't know whwere to put this. Should we maybe have a Soulwax/2ManyDJs/Despacio thread?
Maybe the Daweles need to put out a new album to merit that...

(didn't embed because of emojis.)

As a matter of fact, they're releasing an original soundtrack for this movie next month

Fist track :

Sounds like the "regular" Soulwax, and not so much nite version

EDIT : I see in the tracklist that they put "Turn Off the Lights" ! They've been playing that track in their live sets for a while

Edit bis : they're saying soundtrack in february, and LP in april... So could it be also a brand new Soulwax LP ? Or nite versions of the soundtrack ?

I want them to release the first song (or is it the first two songs) in this video:

And while we're at it: A gig in Vienna would be nice. Wouldn't really matter if it's Soulwax, 2ManyDjs or Despacio.

This one is sweet too :

Weirdly, the top video has a 303 (or a clone) playing the acid line and the bottom one has the MS20 playing that same acid riff

So, I just found this reddit thread:

from r/soulwax

Since I love their live shows, does anybody here know about (more) quality bootlegs from Soulwax?
I've found the 2008 Hasselt show (only in 128 kbps but still, holy shit that live version of Get Innocuous!!!), but not the 2007 3voor12 show :-(

Here's the link to the Hasselt set on soundcloud:

Now, THIS is the Soulwax I love

Two more tracks :

Turn off the lights, played on BBC 6 Music

Not as insane as the live version, I hope they do a nite version or something.

And this one

You can stream the whole album on Pitchfork !

Gave the soundtrack a full listen.

I'm impressed.

Edit: Noah's Dark - Inward is an amazing track. Jesus.

Yeah it's an excellent track ! I think everyone here should like it.
Not all the tracks are that great though. Some tracks sound like they were made with the idea of being stereotypes. You've got your basic dub/reggae track (Light Bulb Matrix), your basic punk rock track (Burning Phlegm), the "Jean Michel Jarre" track (Danyel Galaxy), the "Air" track (Robert Vanderwiel), and an almost Led Zep-ish track (Roland McBeth)

Overall, there are enough pure-Soulwax tracks to satisfy me My favourites are

Caoutchouc
Turn off The Lights
Ti Ricordi De Me
Got Any Chris Rea?
Inward

The video for Turn off the Lights

[Wolkenkrabber]

The inward 'video' is "not available". Has it been taken down?

Yep looks like it did

[MadPooter]

I'm still able to play the Inward video.

Doesn't work for me

Soulwax - Heaven Scent (feat. Chloe Sevigny)

apparently this is from a musical project revolving around perfume and Chloe Sevigny.
