2manydjs

2manydjs is the Belgian DJ duo formed by brothers David and Stephen Dewaele—who are also the creative forces behind the band Soulwax. Renowned for their inventive mash-ups and dynamic live sets, 2manydjs rose to prominence in the early 2000s with the widely acclaimed mix album As Heard on Radio Soulwax Pt. 2. Known for seamlessly blending genres from rock and electro to hip-hop and pop, they quickly garnered international attention and influenced a new wave of DJ culture.

Early Beginnings and Rise to Fame
David and Stephen hail from Ghent, Belgium—a city famed for its cutting-edge electronic scene and thriving underground culture. Growing up in a family with a deep love for music, the pair were introduced early on to a wide spectrum of genres. This musical upbringing eventually found its way into their trademark style: fearless sonic fusion of seemingly incompatible tracks. Released in 2002, As Heard on Radio Soulwax Pt. 2 was not just a mix album but a cultural milestone, blending songs by diverse artists like Dolly Parton, Basement Jaxx, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer in a single set. This audacious approach helped popularize mash-up culture worldwide and established 2manydjs as innovators.

Alongside their success as 2manydjs, the brothers continued to develop Soulwax—a pioneering electronic-rock outfit that took the energy of their DJ sets and combined it with a full band experience. Their albums, including Any Minute Now (2004) and its remix companion Nite Versions (2005), brought a sleek rock-meets-dance aesthetic to international festivals and clubs. Eager to expand beyond traditional DJing, the Dewaeles launched Radio Soulwax, a multimedia project that served as a 24-hour stream of custom mixes, each accompanied by dynamic visuals. This platform provided an ever-evolving showcase for their remixes, collaborations, and boundary-pushing creativity.

Over the years, 2manydjs have toured extensively, appearing at major events such as Coachella, Glastonbury, Sónar, and more. Their live sets—often graced by sharp visuals, custom edits, and surprise mash-ups—have become a highlight for fans seeking an eclectic dancefloor experience. Equally accomplished in the studio, the duo has produced official remixes for acts like Daft Punk, LCD Soundsystem, and Tame Impala, further solidifying their reputation as prolific tastemakers. Despite the constant evolution of electronic music, 2manydjs maintain a distinctive edge through their playful genre-hopping, deep technical skill, and keen ear for what keeps audiences moving. Today, David and Stephen Dewaele remain central figures in modern DJ culture, continuing to shape the global dance scene and inspire fellow musicians to blur stylistic lines.
