The precise difference between Soulwax and their alter ego 2 Many DJs may be difficult to fathom at the best of times. Not least because Belgian brothers David and Stephen Dewaele lead both. And now they're confusing things even more by appearing on the same bill.
Essentially, Soulwax are a kind of twisted rock act while 2 Many DJs are the sort of genre-mashing party people who helped paved the way for the likes of Brighton's own Go! Team.
To have either coming to town is a treat. To have both is unmissable. Having remixed everyone from Kylie and DJ Shadow to Felix Da Housecat, and deemed worthy of an entire chapter in Nick Hornby's 31 Songs, the Dewaele brothers are among the most potent forces in contemporary music.
Following a string of white-hot appearances over the summer, they're coming to Brighton to promote their brand new Nite Versions album, which includes a version of their anthemic E Talking as well as a Daft Punk cover.
It's worth getting there early, too.
French technohead Vitalic, in support,would normally be a major draw in his own right.
