Watch Soulwax’s Documentary On World-First Abbey Road After Hours Rave

31st March 2026
 

On 21 February, we opened our doors to something we had never done before - our first ever rave inside Studio One.


Now, Soulwax have released a documentary film in which they lay out what happened in the days leading up to the event.

Curated by Belgian brothers David and Stephen Dewaele, better known as Soulwax and 2manydjs, Abbey Road After Hours welcomed more than 300 guests into a world-first experience.

Selected via an online ballot, fans stepped into an iconic space reimagined for one night only, as Studio One was transformed by the DEEWEE soundsystem into an immersive late-night club environment.

The line-up, personally curated by the band, featured 2manydjs alongside Erol Alkan, Nadia Ksaiba and Laima Leyton, marking a bold new chapter for a room that has been home to musical innovation since 1931.

Across five hours, the studio, more commonly associated with orchestras and legendary recording sessions, pulsed with electronic music, redefining what Abbey Road can be.

Now you can get a behind-the-scenes look at how the event came together. The film captures the days leading up to the rave, including a unique recording session in Studio Two just 24 hours before doors opened.

There, the duo created a brand new track, Perfect We Are Not, recording it direct to vinyl and cutting a mere minutes before its debut as the opening record of their 2manydjs set - a full-circle moment that perfectly encapsulated the spirit of spontaneity and innovation at the heart of the night.

Now officially released, Perfect We Are Not stands as a lasting document of that moment - created, recorded and first played at Abbey Road.

Sessions for the single were engineered by John Barrett, who also completed the mix, assisted by Tom Ashpitel and runner Debs Jeandet, before being mastered and cut by Christian Wright.
