Some more info:
Abbey Road After Hours will see the first major outing of the DEEWEE Soundsystem, speaker array based on the system at New York’s Paradise Garage, which the Dewaele brothers acquired for their popular club night.
The night will include new Soulwax music, which will be recorded live in Abbey Road’s Studio Two the day before. Together with their full live band, Soulwax will use Studio Two as a creative lab, experimenting with the studio’s vintage gear, tech and spaces. They will then cut new music directly to vinyl, which will be played out in Studio One on the Saturday night.
In a statement, Soulwax’s David and Stephen Dewaele said: “It’s hard to say whether we have a perverse or healthy attraction to crazy ideas, that’s for other people to decide, really. So to be approached with a crazy idea is one thing, but to be approached with a crazy idea by the most iconic recording studio in music history is even more attractive. We embrace and accept this challenge and also sincerely hope this won’t be the last rave at Abbey Road.”
,Mark Robertson, Abbey Road’s director of marketing & creative said: “Abbey Road After Hours is part of our mission to devise unexpected moments and creative collisions in our house. I’ve talked about hosting a rave for years, so it’s a genuine thrill for Soulwax to accept the invitation to curate the first night – which will include new music that they’ll record here the day before. Studio One has been home to countless era-defining firsts – from Elgar to John Williams – and opening the room to bold new forms of creativity feels both true to our heritage and audacious.”
The night will be filmed for broadcast on YouTube on Thursday, March 5, so that fans across the globe can witness the Abbey Road event.
