HARD Message Board

Is Soulwax playing a live set or DJing? If they're playing live, are they playing their "rock" songs like off Any Minute Now or are they playing Nite Versions like at Coachella '07?

I'm expecting the full band playing Nite Versions, seeing how this event has a lot of electro.

that's a good question, I was wondering the same thing. Hmm, it doesn't say live or dj. So i dunno... It would be 2manydj's if it was dj so lets discard that.

well the flier doesnt say "DJ set"

like Digitalism

so most likely Soulwax "live"

i never fully understood the diff btwn dj set and live set. can someone explain it to me?

SOULWAX doesnt have a dj set if it was a dj set they would be called 2manydj's and ive been looking up recent SOULWAX shows and they seem to play all kinds of HEAD BANGING SHIT!!!! really intense and a little bit of night versions but youll never hear them play none of there old rock stuff watch there PART OF THE WEEKEND NEVER DIES dvd it explains everything

@DarkHorse DJ sets are mostly preselected songs that a dj is going to play for the night if its a dj. If it's a band like Soulwax it means 2manydjs. Live set v
would be from mixing live and dropping beats as they come. (correct me if I'm wrong) As for Soulwax it's Soulwax playing with the whole group.

haha, damn, mixing live and dropping beats is hard

im gonna kill myself literally, dj set means when they are playing other peoples music and their own. they are mixing it.

live means when they play their own shit on stage.

So Soulwax is PLAYING AS THE BAND ITSELF.

just ask DJKCNEKRO he should all the answers too what a dj set really is.

you pretty much have it @Matt, a DJ set is when the musician(s) aren't going full potential "Live", but in some live sets some dj's still sample music from other musicians and mix it with their own, even Justice Live uses other music in their "Live" acts, like for example

I cant remember what the name of the song is but starting @ 0:58 - 1:28 is sampled someone else's tune

@KcNekro So I guess I didn't miss it by much. haha I was using my phone to type and it sucks so I tend to leave a load of things out.

yeah haha @Flippinsweetjosh
I hate using my phone on blogs and whatnot cause after a while you feel like you're writing too much, when really all you've wrote is like 2 sentences lol

live is when they take the original equipment or software or whatever they used to make the music in the first place and recreate it live for you on stage

or thats how it was explained to me!

i'll be at Digitalism!

this is a soulwax live set they played for hard haunted '08 im pretty sure they are doing something similar for hard summer btw I was there for hard haunted and they are amazing!! one of the best I have ever seen!

Soulwax=the whole band
2 many djs=the brothers (their dj set)

dj sets really?
what djs do?
mix easy as that.
when they play live they play from their own shit as like they play an album.

Now that we're all clear on the difference between a live and DJ set...

I just want to hear the version of "E Talking" that came out on 'Any Minute Now' but I suppose I can go break out the CD if I really want that. I'm disappointed that they apparently don't play their old stuff anymore in favor of the anemic newer Nite Versions, which is why I asked the question in the first place. Has anyone seen them on their current tour to confirm what their set list is like?

Look for Soulwax @ SoulwaXmas London, 12-12-2009.mp3 it's probably the most recent recording of their live set. Anyone find a link?
