Soulwax, headed by David and Stephen Dewaele, are an alternative rock/electro band from Ghent, Belgium.

The Dewaele Brothers have also released several major albums under the “Soulwax” moniker, including Leave The Story Untold (1996), Much Against Everyone’s Advice (1999), Any Minute Now (2004), “Nite Versions” (2005) and “Most of the Remixes… (2007).
