About this event
Titans of boundary-pushing sonic thrills, the Belgian electronic outfit ignite the atmosphere with their signature high-voltage sound.
With two Grammy nominations, multiple studio albums and world-famous remixes, and decades of electrifying live shows under their belts, Soulwax perhaps needs little introduction.
The long-running project of brothers Stephen and David Dewaele, Soulwax are a ‘supergroup of two’ with an ever-innovative and boundless approach to producing, djing and performing.
For their live show, the rhythms are dialled up ten notches by the duo’s full band: Stefaan Van Leuven, Laima Leyton and three (yes, three) drummers, Iggor Cavalera, Blake Davies and Aurora Bennett.
Their 2025 album All Systems Are Lying, feels, and sounds, like the ‘crazy’ time we’ve now found ourselves in. With its rock-guitar-sounding synths, the record is full of dynamic, goosebump-inducing songs including ‘Run Free’, ‘Gimme A Reason’ and ‘Idiots In Love’ stand out as genre-defying electronic rock songs.
David and Stephen Dewaele have consistently pushed the boundaries of music into new and innovative territory through their expansive creative universe. They’re a band (Soulwax), djs (2manydjs), a record label and studio (DEEWEE) and a sound system (Despacio).
Pauli The PSM is the musical adventure of Pauli Lovejoy (he/they) – a drummer, composer, producer, musical and creative director, model and DJ. Born in London to Jamaican parents with Senegalese heritage, they’ve been recognised as one of ‘The World’s Best Drummers’ by The Guardian and WIRED.
Capturing hearts as the touring musical director and percussionist for Harry Styles’ Love On Tour, Pauli The PSM is also current music director for Florence & The Machine and Saturday Night Live UK. Previous credits include musical director for fka twigs, Jamie xx, Lizzo and other superstars, and touring drummer for Damon Albarn, Bobby Womack and more. Under the moniker Pauli The PSM, his releases include The Idea of Tomorrow featuring Idris Elba, two highly-praised EPs and an Afrofuturism-inspired experimental album. His headline Saucy tour sold out in numerous locations across the world and he’s received praise from outlets including Rolling Stone, Wonderland and Clash Magazine.
