THEY might be dance superstars, but hogging the limelight doesn't add up for 2manydjs.

The Belgian brothers Stephen and David Dewaele play to massive crowds across the world and will headline this weekend's Electric Frog & Pressure Riverside Festival.

It's a two-day bash by the Riverside Museum packed full of big names, with 2manydjs headlining Saturday and Jamie Jones and Laurent Garnier topping the bill on Sunday.

Yet despite their fame David Dewaele is adamant the focus remains on the music.

"You're on sticky ground if you try to pretend you're a superstar when all you're doing is playing records," he says, speaking over the phone from his home in Ghent.

"The guys who tend to be the best at it, like say the Optimo guys, they're not standing there in a Jesus pose with their hands in the air. I don't have a huge problem with other people doing it, but it's not us.

"A few weeks ago we were in Mexico City, headlining before 60,000 people. Ten minutes after the set was over we could walk around and no-one knew us.

"That's the perfect way of doing it for us, whereas many of these new big DJs, a big part is the fame. Good for them, but that's not what we're interested in."

What interests the Dewaele brothers is music, in all sorts of guises.

They have a string of different projects on the go, from 2manysdjs to their original band Soulwax to last year's Despacio project with James Murphy, formerly of LCD Soundsystem.

It featured the trio using seven custom-made speaker stacks and 42 amplifiers, designed to let them play some of the rarer vinyl they'd acquired through the ages.

So far the costly venture has visited London and Manchester, with a three-night stint in Barcelona planned later this year.

But David would love to bring it to Glasgow…

"It's a very difficult thing to pull off," he says.

"In London it took about six months to find all the ingredients for it, because there's so many factors involved and it's difficult to get it to happen.

"However, one priority, since the beginning, has been to try and get it to Glasgow. We just haven't found the right venue yet."

David's desire to bring it to Glasgow lies in the fact the city has always been kind to him and his brother.

Whatever their projects, the reaction from fans always seem to blow the Belgian away, which is why he's eager to headline the Riverside festival.

"There's something about Glasgow, it's really good for us, and we're super lucky with what crowds have been like…," he says.

"It's the closest you can get to a Spanish crowd in the UK, a real working class people that are cultured and when they go out, they work hard and they play hard. You don't get that in countries like Switzerland or cities like Birmingham.

"We've been touring for about 15 or 16 years on a continuous, regular basis, and have been coming to Glasgow maybe three or four times a year and I don't know why, but Glasgow has been supportive of us from the very beginning."

The energy found in their Glasgow visits isn't always found elsewhere though and David believes that's because cultural differences in countries are decreasing.

"I guess the reason why somewhere like Glasgow stands out is because over 15 years we've seen the differences between countries become smaller," he says.

"When we started there were big differences between crowds in, say, Germany and South America. Strangely, audiences have become more the same in how they react over that time."

That's not the only change the duo have seen. There are many different ways to release music now, one reason why there's no been a new Soulwax album in the past several years.

Instead, they've released music through other means, but there might be a new record in the coming months.

"We're not really sure what to do," chuckles David. "We have a bunch of music and a bunch of different outlets for it.

"I'm not sure if it'll be through a few of those outlets, or through a Soulwax album, or a string of Soulwax releases… There will be stuff, but we haven't figured out how to do it yet. We don't want it to just be an album with a shelflife of two months."
