Lesson plan

Deewee

Deewee, stylized as DEEWEE is a record label founded in 2015 by David and Stephen Dewaele of the band Soulwax. The label operates from a building in Ghent (Belgium) that the Dewaele brothers nickname DEEWEE 001, referring to it as the first item on the label's catalog. The building was designed for the Dewaeles by Belgian architect Glenn Sestig. It houses the recording studio where all releases on the label are written, recorded or mixed. The Dewaele brothers conceived their label in reaction to the trend of electronic music artists collaborating remotely via file transfer and rarely meeting to work together in the same location. The label initially released music by new young artists, until 2017 when Soulwax started releasing their own music on it as well. Their 2017 album "From DEEWEE" was based on the 'Transient Program For Drums and Machinery' live tour and was recorded live in one take. It won the album of the year award at the 2017 edition of the Music Industry Awards. The duo continued experimenting on the label, featuring an album made entirely with sounds from the legendary EMS Synthi 100 synthesizer and an online TV channel, named DEEWEE TEEVEE.
