Soulwax s monochrome recording studio nods to 1960s Italian architecture
A chequered granite facade envelopes this monolithic recording studio in Ghent, Belgium, which local architect Glenn Sestig has created for electronic music duo Soulwax.
Built on a derelict garage plot, the anonymous four-storey building houses the DJs vinyl collection and music production facilities, as well as an apartment with a roof terrace for overnight stays.

Soulwax is made up of Ghent-born brothers David and Stephen Dewaele – also known as 2manydjs – who use the studio as the hub for their record label Deewee.
Originally finished in 2013, the building is captured here in a series of photographs that were taken to mark the label s 50th release and shared exclusively with Dezeen.
Movulango has shared his new single Leave - tune in now.
The project is a solo venture from Future Sound Of Antwerp member Mozes Mosuse, and it finds the Belgian artist channeling his imagination in a powerful, provocative way.
The bubbling percussion underpins a teasing vocal from Movulango, while the Balearic feel is offset by the subtle soul in his songwriting.
Part of the DEEWEE family, Movulango shot the video for Leave at the label s studio in Ghent.
David and Stephen Dewaele comment.
âEvery label needs a psychedelic romantic, right? Mozes is the DEEWEE artist we have known the longest and have been working with from day one, and even though it has taken a while to develop a sound that is unique to him, we are incredibly proud of the music we are finally after all this time, about to release.â

In a year in which a terrible hush drowned out everything else, Fontaines DC’s A Hero’s Death provided a rare reason to the cheerful. The Dublin five-piece’s second album came out last July – that phoney moment of high summer when it almost felt the pandemic had gone away.
The world has shut down since then but now Fontaines DC are opening up. A remix of A Hero’s Death by Belgian DJs and producers Soulwax – aka brothers David and Stephen Dewaele – has just been released and gives the Dubliners a glittering retro-electro makeover.
Soulwax have discussed how their surprise new single ‘Empty Dancefloor’ was inspired by the world’s clubs falling silent as a result of the coronavirus lockdown – while remaining confident that nightlife will return stronger than ever. Watch our video interview with the duo above.
The Belgian dance-rock legends dropped the new track last week, after it was written for the campaign for Apple’s new Airpod Max headphones but was deemed too “great” to not be released as a single.
“We made it in a couple of days and it was done like two weeks ago,” Soulwax’s Stephen Dewaele told
