2 MANY DJ'S.

Normally we're not big on covering DJ sets - we're the kind of boring nerds who'd rather be chilling at home watching the latest pirated episodes of Heroes. Imported DJ's sleepwalking through their by-the-numbers playlists? Makes time go slower than Hiro Nakamura... but daaaamn, 2 MANY DJ'S (aka Soulwax) blew us away this weekend with an amazing set that had the crowd at Zouk going wild and even got our lazy arses doing a few dodgy dance moves - and anyone who knows us knows it takes some serious beats (and a fair number of G&T's) to get us doing the electric slide in public.

The Belgian brothers as famous for their remixes as their own tracks, did what they do best and tracks were mashed up, broken up, and dropped thick and fast, sometimes only appearing for a matter of seconds before disappearing, with cheers greeting many of the classics... Playlist somehow managed to include Guns n' Roses, Blur, Justice vs. Simian, Electric Light Orchestra, Vanessa Paradis, Nirvana, The Killers and of course Soulwax and various club classics amongst the zillions of other tracks speeding by. Pure genius.

Major thanks to Lynn for sorting us out with the VIP treatment at the door...

If you've never checked anything by these guys, start by getting your hands on their classic 'As Heard on Radio Soulwax vol. 2' album, or remix of the Gorillaz 'Dare'.
