If you are missing DEEWEE 013 in your collection, don’t panic because there is no release with ‘unlucky’ number 13. So we go straight to number 14 which is the debut EP of Bolis Pupul on DEEWEE.
So Bolis had already released an EP on DEEWEE before his musical partner in crime, Charlotte Adigéry, made her debut on the label.
This was the info from the press release:
‘We met Bolis in 2006 via MySpace, and then later in real life when we toured Asia. To escape the unbearable boredom of his native Macao, Bolis had decided to try his hand at making electronic music – inspired by a Jean-Michel Jarre concert – and we have stayed in touch all these years. This record is the result of Bolis’ visit to DEEWEE in Gent where he was enchanted by the world of analogue synths. We should also mention that Bolis had a previous life as South East Asia’s number 2 Rubik’s Cube champion in 2003. Think Logic System and Telex.’
Spoiler: Dave and Steph did not meet Bolis Pupul in 2006 via MySpace and the rest of the press release is very funny but not true.
Bolis Pupul is the artist alias of Boris Van Zeebroek, who’s been a close friend of the Dewaeles for many years. Together with his sister Sarah (aka ‘Salah Pupul’), he was in a band called Hong Kong Dong who supported Soulwax on several Soulwaxmas shows. Boris and Sarah were also part of fictional band The Shitz, as heard on the Belgica OST. And he’s also a member of the Belgian band The Germans.
