Soulwax announce new album that was recorded in one take

'FROM DEEWEE' is out in March

'FROM DEEWEE' is the forthcoming album from Soulwax on Play It Again Sam.

In the run-up to recording, the Belgian Dewaele brothers rehearsed extensively in order to record it in one take on February 7 in Ghent.

Stephen and David said: “Based on the 'Transient Program For Drums and Machinery' which began touring in the summer of 2016, we set out to record these songs live with the exact same setup, machines and musicians as we had on the road."

The album's artwork says an ARP Odyssey, a TB-303 clone and a Dave Smith Sequential Prophet 6 were among the instruments used, with regular Soulwax collaborator Stefaan Van Leuven contributing.
