Hello Hive Music Lovers!,
Welcome to another #threetunetuesday created originally by 
I like to share some music that I am listening to each week and today I share some not so well known tunes. However, if you like drums and you like synth, then you might like Soulwax.
The 3 tunes today are featured in the Part of the Weekend Never Dies film that the band recorded and I will share with you today.
Before the first tune, to give you a really good idea what the band are about, which is great drums, synth and flashing lights, you may want to check out this tune of theirs, Is It Always Binary.
This isn't one of my 3 tunes, but here you can see the rig they are using which is also pretty huge along with the drums and synth.
I stumbled firstly across Soulwax from one of their remixes that I will share later, that are just pretty epic. I have listened to them on the radio but sadly not seen them live. There is a fantastic documentary called Part of the Weekend Never Dies which they filmed and is on their youtube channel.
In it, someone mentioned that DJs could be the most overpayed simplistic job on the planet. I would sort of agree, I wonder what they are actually doing when on the stage, just playing with the knobs? Therefore I look for performances where they actually play everything live and not pre-recorded loops.
However, to be a successful DJ is not easy and there is lots of competition. Even if you don't care about dance music, these guys have made it totally interesting and put on a great show.
Accidents and Compliments is one of their top tracks from the album Nite versions. On youtube you can also see the whole album live at Fabric which is worth a watch.
Soulwax - Accidents And Compliments (Nite Version)
The next tune is one of my favorite live electronic music performances and it starts leading into it from Accidents and Compliments before fading out to the 3rd selection of today.
Soulwax are a Belgium band and I really love this live electronic music with awesome build ups and use of drums and synth. Of course, the highlight of the song is the Robot Rock synth from 4:50 onwards.
Robot Rock is a cover version of the famous Daft Punk but they have made a totally new and awesome song of it.
Soulwax - Robot Rock (Live @ Summer Sonic '09)
Of course the Robot Rock tune leads on to our final tune and is the awesome cover of Phantom Part II which was originally by Justice. Justice are another awesome French dance duo who deserve their own #ttt post.
The first 3 minutes are again Robot Rock which leads into this great 3rd tune for today. Something about adding the drums and synth turns these tunes into an amazing sound. What the guys also did as you will notice at 5:50, is to stop playing as though the show was over and turn off the lights.
You can hear the crowd screaming and clapping, thinking the show was over, but then the music starts again and they rock on! I think the live performance, although handcam type work, is still better to listen to than the audio version. The songs seem to play well altogether.
