Soulwax have unveiled a powerful new single titled ‘Perfect We Are Not’, a track they created, recorded and first performed at Abbey Road during a special late night rave event.
The release arrives after the Belgian brothers hosted a five hour rave inside the legendary London studio for around 300 fans who secured access through an online ballot held last month.
The show marked a historic moment for the famous studio. Just two days before the event, the duo recorded the new song inside Studio Two at Abbey Road. The track, ‘Perfect We Are Not’, was pressed straight onto vinyl and premiered as the opening record in their 2manydjs DJ set.
The track has now been officially released and was created together with their complete live band, which features three drummers.
When the song was introduced during the Abbey Road performance, the crowd reacted instantly with huge enthusiasm, suggesting it could easily become a future club favourite. You can listen to the official audio of the bold and hypnotic track above and pre order the 12 inch vinyl here.
The Abbey Road event also marked the first occasion the historic venue welcomed the public for this type of experience, with the rave taking place inside the famous Studio One. It also introduced Soulwax’s DEEWEE Soundsystem for the first time, inspired by the legendary Paradise Garage venue in New York.
“It’s hard to say whether we have a perverse or healthy attraction to crazy ideas, that’s for other people to decide, really,” the Dewaele brothers explained before the performance. “So to be approached with a crazy idea is one thing, but to be approached with a crazy idea by the most iconic recording studio in music history is even more attractive.”
“We embrace and accept this challenge and also sincerely hope this won’t be the last rave at Abbey Road.” They also went on to produce a documentary about the event, which you can watch above.
Soulwax released ‘All Systems Are Lying’, their first album in more than seven years, in October and described the expansive double record as “a rock album made without any electric guitars”.
They later followed it up with two double single releases, ‘All Systems Are Lying’/‘Run Free’ and ‘Gimme A Reason’/’Meanwhile On The Continent’, as well as the standalone single ‘New Earth Time‘.
Following that, they shared their well known ‘Nite Version’ remixes of the newer material and recently completed their 2026 tour, which included major performances at O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester and O2 Academy Brixton in London.

There is no question that Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out made a serious impact and continues to hold weight. The project showed that hip hop is not limited by age and proved that a long-awaited return can still land in a major way regardless of the time away.
If you need a reminder, the Virginia duo’s fourth studio album debuted comfortably within the top five of the Hot 200. It secured the number four position and moved an impressive 118,000 units in its first week.
On top of that, it picked up a win at this year’s Grammys, earning Best Rap Performance for “Chains & Whips.” The album also received four additional nominations, including Best Music Video, Rap Album, and Album of the Year.
It is hard to believe the project will officially hit its one year mark this summer on July 11. Even so, Pusha T is making it clear that both supporters and critics should not be overlooking it anytime soon.
While performing at Coachella yesterday, King Push told the crowd that LGSEO still sits at the top, regardless of genre.
He said, “‘Let God Sort Em Out’ is still the album of the motherfckin year. Whole new year, still album of the year,” per Kurrco. “Album of the motherfcking year until we drop again. We don't care who dropping. It don't matter.”
That is a strong statement for obvious reasons, especially considering the recent claims surrounding Push himself.
Over the same weekend, hip hop social media lit up after several alleged reference tracks connected to Quentin Miller and Push began circulating. Three tracks surfaced in total, but one that drew the most attention was an alleged record titled “Real Gon’ Come.” It is said to come from the DAYTONA era, around 2017 to 2018.
The situation gained traction because fans remember the past tension between Drake and Pusha T before Drake’s clash with Kendrick Lamar. During that feud, Pusha accused Drake of using ghostwriters on tracks like “Infrared,” which appears on DAYTONA. On that song, he raps, “The bigger question is how the Russians did it /
It was written like Nas, but it came from Quentin.”
Reactions have been mixed. Some people argue it is not a major issue since Miller’s alleged contributions were limited to hooks. Others point out that the songs were never officially released, so they see no real problem. Meanwhile, critics view it as clear hypocrisy on Pusha T’s part, a perspective that DJ Akademiks has also supported.
