Amazon.co.uk Review
As Heard on Radio Soulwax Vol. 2 follows some mixed reviews for the Soulwax boys' efforts at composing from scratch: they discovered they had a much greater talent for ripping other people's works together to create a whole new sound of their own.

As pioneers of the mash-up scene, the Soulwax boys were the first to actually get something into the public domain, and you can but wonder at how they managed to get most of the stuff on here cleared for use. Despite their clever moniker, 2 Many DJs is just two guys with a digital mixer and a box full of tracks that you'd never think to mix together. From Salt 'N' Pepa's "Push It" cut up with the Stooges' "No Fun", to Destiny's Child's "Independent Woman" over 10cc's "Dreadlock Holiday", blending seamlessly into Dolly Parton's "Nine to Five", the tracklisting may look like someone's idea of a joke, but somehow it works.

This is quite possibly the ultimate party soundtrack with something for everyone and the emphasis firmly on fun. --Helen Marquis

Customer Reviews

Pushin' It Real Good
From start to finish, this album contains those moments where you have to check the tracklisting to find out if what you are listening to is ACTUALLY what you think you are listening to.

From the very first (Bonus, may I add) track, there are original bootlegs of contemporary pop tunes, old skool beats and general all round merriments. The CD kicks off with a bonus remix of Can't Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie, and you actually have to search skip backwards to before the first track to hear it. It's a strange psychedelic breaks remix, but the original elements are there and you can place the tune instantly. Once the bonus track finishes, Steven Hawkin (maybe not) introduces the band to rapturous applause, which is well-deserved I feel.

Highlights include the first track of the mix, which is a strange but successful concoction of Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Basement Jaxx, a stuttering bootleg of Salt 'N' Pepa's Push It Real Good, a fusion of two Michael Jackson songs right at the heart of the mix, and a Caribbean collaboration between 10CC and Destiny's Child. All of these moments leave you wondering how the Soulwax Crew thought up such mixtures of joints, but when you see how well they work together, you can't help but be immensely satisfied with the results.

If you like your CDs to be original, funky and entertaining from start to finish, then this is definitely one for your collection.

This album will never be off your CD player
Simply brilliant. The tracklisting reads like a C90 you used to compile for your school chums, even the CD presentation looks cheeky and knocked-up. Once you press play however, your are blessed with 60 minutes of class mixing that would lift any party, any mood and launch your weekend with style. More official albums guys! Please!!

The audio version of decolletage - sampling to the ears!
Soulwax - the Belgian duo who draw influences from INXS to Roni Size for their live sets are also rather fine DJs (on the side, like). First heard of on a promo only CD in 2000 as 'The Flying Deewale Brothers' the pair use the most unlikely tracks to mix together a frenzy of retro, throwing everything from Skee-Lo to Survivor into the melting pot and using the Technics spoon to produce a cake of many colours (and sounds). Version 2 is the first commercially available sampling of the boys' huge musical knowledge, and features a tracklisting so long you'll think you've had to shell out extra for the packaging. From MJ to Destiny's, The Breeders to Serge, it's all here and it's so pleasurable there's no way you'll want to take it off your stereo for a second!
