TBT (43): Milk Inc at Radio Soulwax

Every Thursday I look back to the past.

On December 22, 2007, Soulwax put on their biggest Radio Soulwax show to date at the Flanders Expo in their hometown of Ghent. On the bill were Soulwax, 2manydjs, Brodinski, Riton, Paul Chambers, Das Pop, Justice, Erol Alkan, Tiga and many others. But they also announced a “very special guest”.

Right before Soulwax would take the stage, the “very special guest” appeared. There was a platform on the left and on the right hand side being elevated and Belgian Eurohouse duo Regi and Linda from Milk Inc. played a 10 minute set, consisting of ‘Tainted Love’ (yes, that one) and their own track ‘Go To Hell’.

I can’t say there was a rivalry going on between both acts, both Soulwax and Milk Inc. enjoyed international succes but made a very different kind of dance music. It was a little bit of a joke (more than a real statement) to the music snobs who probably didn’t really appreciate the eurohouse music of Regi & Linda, to put them on this particular Radio Soulwax bill.
