Can anyone help clear this up, i had a debate with Jonno a few weeks ago about the band Soulwax, who have a album titled 'much agaist everyones advice', and track 8 on this is 'too many dj's'. Its not a mixed cd, or a compilation of others work- just thier own music in standard 4-6 min length tracks (obviously they do use some samples but you know what i mean).

Right the confusion started when Jonno said that the artist was actually called '2 many dj's' and they have a mix cd out from a live set called 'as featured on radio soulwax', and he brought round the cd earlier that he bought me to prove it. (its great btw). This is basically a really good hour or so mix of others works- really eclectic stuff eg mixing Dolly Partons 9-5 into Royksopps Eple, sounds a bit odd but it really is good and without wanting to sound like Linda Barker- it works really well.

Thing is they are both on Pias Recordings label, so does anyone know if they are the same folks just recording under a different name, as in when the are the composers so to speak they are soulwax, and when performing dj sets they use the name '2 many dj's'.

:confused: Mucho confuso is causing me to continue with the g+t's at this early hour instead of doing essays :)

Yeah they are the same, on the 2 many dj's site they have bags on thier heads for anonymity- yet they mention the names Steven and David, two of the folks from Soulwax.

Looks like its just a few of soulwax performing under a different name whilst dj'ing.

They are bloody good though- on both accounts :)

they are two brothers called the daewalt brothers or sumit like that. Their own material is weird and i think pretty shite. AS heard on radio soulwax isn't recorded from live as far as I know. The one you are talking about 'as heard on soulwax volume 2' was the only one out of 8 to get clearence and get a full release. sometimes they are called soulwax sometimes they are called 2 many djs.
