Soulwax, headed by David and Stephen Dewaele, is an alternative rock band hailing from Ghent, Belgium. Though the Dewaele Brothers have created several major albums under this moniker, including Leave The Story Untold (1996), Much Against Everyone's Advice (2001) and Any Minute Now (2005), the two are perhaps best-known for their influential contributions to the bastard pop genre under the name 2 Many DJ's and the landmark record As Heard On Radio Soulwax, Pt. 2. The latest Soulwax album, Any Minute Now, has spawned a fairly popular single, "E Talking".

2ManyDJs' genre-busting playlists remind me of my own DJing experiences in the early 90s, when it was entirely expected to play several different styles of music in one night – and for some of it to be overtly commercial and not necessarily 'cool'.
Finally, by careening from their ongoing work as a rock band into a job as radio DJs and producers of unlikely mixes and 'mash-ups,' Stephen and David have challenged conventional career expectations for the modern musician and faced down (in court) the petty guardians of the industry.
Stephen: He was one of the first Belgian radio Djs, I think, in '68, and '69, and he had a show where he played a lot of the rock stuff, he played Led Zeppelin, and all these things, and people in Belgium were really into it.
