tour dates in Atlanta on April 17, with a slew of other dates-including stints at both weekends of Coachella-to follow. The raucous electronic duo kick off their U.S. If you're into wild, pulsating dance music with a crazy lights show that will probably send you into a seizure, this tour is your thing. And chances are pretty good that if you live in a major metropolitan area, they're headed your way. The pair continue to play regular Soulwaxmas events at the end of the year across the UK to packed rooms nothing’s been announced for this coming December yet, but certainly keep your eyes peeled.Not long after joining the Ultra Music Fest lineup-alongside dance-leaning indie acts Hot Chip and Yeasayer- Crystal Castles unveiled their upcoming North American tour dates. Their live shows, as Soulwax, continue to incorporate a full live band, similar to, say LCD Soundsystem, with the rhythm sections key to a sound that, with its repetitive and often droney nature, is not too far removed from krautrock. In the years since, they’ve gradually begun to work in more and more electronic, synthpop and dance influences into their sound, whilst keeping it entirely separate from their work as 2manydjs. Where 2manydjs, perhaps unsurprisingly, have always been very much a dance act, Soulwax has seen the brothers explore the alternative rock scene, instead for proof of their early credentials, consider the fact that their debut record under the moniker, 1996’s Leave the Story Untold, was produced by none other than Queens of the Stone Age collaborator Chris Goss. It’s important to point out that, just because 2manydjs and Soulwax involve the same people - specifically, David and Stephen Dewaele - and just because the pair often play shows that involve both sides of their musical careers, with both of those acts involved, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t entirely distinct entities, not least sonically.
