The singer has become a deejay

2manydjs will do a back-to-back DJ set with Erol Alkan at FAC 51 The Haçienda at Depot Mayfield in Manchester on Saturday, December 5th, as part of The Warehouse Project.

Earlier this year, 2manydjs and Erol Alkan already teamed up behind the decks at Bugged Out! in London. A fan uploaded a video from the night—the audio is rough, but you still get a good idea of how it went down. They played a lot of electroclash classics, alongside their new and still unreleased remix of ‘Song 2’ by Blur. You can watch it below:

Tickets are now on sale for the upcoming 2027 ‘Mainland Madinina‘ tour by Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul, which kicks off in February across Europe and North America (including Belgian shows at De Roma in Antwerp on February 24 and Ancienne Belgique in Brussels on February 25).

Meanwhile, a journalist from The Guardian crossed the Channel to get a tour by Charlotte and Bolis in their hometown of Ghent, talking about their upcoming second album Mainland Madinina (out February 5 on DEEWEE) and much more.

The Guardian was nice enough to add a link to my blog post about the DEEWEE studio in the article!

From the article:

After our meal we make our way to the Deewee studio, the cavernous monochrome lair of Soulwax, which was designed by local architect Glenn Sestig. Its exterior is an obsidian black block with a small embossed Deewee logo: the only real clue about what goes on beyond its walls. Once inside, I’m led to a recording booth which looks like the hideaway of a Bond villain with a taste for analogue synths: an audiophile’s dream, where Adigéry and Zeebroek honed Mainland Madinina. “They keep on buying gear,” says Zeebroek. “It is never ending.”

The Soulwax duo co-produce everything on the Deewee roster, and Zeebroek describes them as being musical “chiropractors”, able to nudge their music joints into position or give their ideas a high-fidelity rubdown. “Whenever we’re stuck they know when to push,” says Zeebroek. Adigéry adds that they often ask “what’s the real intention behind what you’re writing now?”, pushing them to add extra layers to their songwriting.
