Let’s party Tāmaki Makaurau! Presenting our next installment of morning mischief, this time featuring Stefaan Van Leuven, member of the groundbreaking Belgian electronic band Soulwax!


Stefaan Van Leuven has no idea how he ended up in Aotearoa. Belgian born and bred, the bassist-turned-producer-turned-DJ has been touring the globe for decades.

In 1996, he and his bandmates left school, and were transported from suburban Ghent, to inner city Los Angeles, where he stayed with a family friend and her family of cobra snakes. Soulwax stayed in LA for just over a year, and recorded their first album with the legendary Chris Goss.

As a part of Soulwax, Stefaan has worked on various projects with Daft Punk, LCD Soundsystem, Tiga, and the Gorillaz. Soulwax has also produced remixes for The Gossip, Robbie Williams, and The Rolling Stones.

Working for Soulwax, and producing work for the Dewales brothers under the guise of 2ManyDJs, Stefaan has over twenty years of non-stop globe trotting under his belt.

If that wasn’t enough to get your dancing shoes drooling, Stefaan will be playing on a seriously serious sound system at one of the best clubs in Auckland, AV Club.

Top-shelf international DJ talent will be served alongside complimentary Altezano Brothers coffee, Club-Mate, All Good bananas, and those good Morning People vibes.

Alcohol free, dress to sweat.
