It's hard to pin down
Soulwax. They started as a rockband (album: 'Leave the Story Untold'). Soon more danceable influences found it's way into their music (try to sit still to the song '
Too many DJ's', I dare ya!) on their acclaimed second album 'Much Against Everyone's Advice'. After that they revolutionized Dj'ing with the mash-up sets they did as
Too Many DJ's (named after their own song). Then they returned with a third Soulwax album after six years (ironically titled 'Any Minute Now'). Although this may not have been a very surprising move they followed that with a remixed version of that album called 'Nite Versions'.
And to top it all of they played a secret gig in Amsterdam yesterday (
last.fm event:
not so secret) where they played the remixes they did for other artists live.
Yes, you heard (read) me right;
they played the remixes they did for other artists... live!Easily one of the coolest shows you're likely to see this year.
They also played the remix they did for a new Hot Chip song, which isn't even out yet: Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor (Soulwax Dub)
Another favorite was: The Gossip - Standing in the Way of Control (Soulwax Edit)
Even more remixes can be heard on the most comprehensive Soulwax site...ever.
