Two of the hardest working brothers in dance music are the Dewaele brothers from Soulwax and 2 Many DJs -- they have been touring for so long they may well be suffering from heroin-like addiction to performing live.

They have been touring around the world non-stop for the last 8 years, infecting the world with their infusion of rock and electro music.

Soulwax are from from Ghent, Belgium -- consisting of Stephen Dewaele, David Dewaele, Stefaan Leuven and Steve Slingeneyer.

Their success can be traced all the way back to 2003, when the brothers released their first album ‘As heard on Radio Soulwax’ under the alter-egos 2 many DJs.

It consisted of 45 remixed tracks by a series of diverse artists ranging from Dolly Parton to Basement Jaxx.

According to Internet rumours their is even a hidden secret track --  you can access it before the first track and it’s from our favourite australian Kylie Minogue “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head (Soulwax Elektronic Mix).

You accomplished this by pressing play, rewinding for four minutes and 17 seconds and allowing the album to start.

After this song the album moves straight into “Peter Gunn/where’s your head at”.

In 2008 the band released a tour documentary called “Part of the week-end never dies” to critical acclaim.

Armed with a single video camera, director Saam Farahmand set out to capture Radio Soulwax on its mammoth 120-leg international tour.

There are fantastic interviews with James Murphy, Nancy Whang, Erol Alkan, Tiga, Justice, Busy P, So-Me, Peaches, Kitsuné & Klaxons.

The documentary captures the adulation, debauchery, ebullience, reflection, cynicism, tiredness, despair, delusion, ridiculousness, contradiction, revelation, exhaustion, and homesickness of the life of DJ/Band on the road.

Recently the band has been experimenting with visuals during their sets which was showcased at Eden, Ibiza last week – with animated album covers from over the last 30-years including one of the late Michael Jackson singing along to the lyrics of his music.

A showcase of the brothers talents comes from a special mix that they did whilst filling in for Rob Da Bank on the BBC -- the first hour is purley intros -- 420 to be exact and then a hour-long disco mix.
