Following the release of 2017’s From Deewee – the Belgian duo’s first studio album in 12 years – Soulwax will release Essential, a new album featuring 12 original tracks inspired by the concept of the now infamous mix series, with each song being sequentially named from “Essential One” to “Essential Twelve”. About their Essential Mix, the electro-rock band of the Dewaele brothers stated:

Listen below to “Essential Four” featuring Charlotte Adigéry, aka WWWater. Essential will be released on June 22 on their own label, DEEWEE.
