2manydjs

Since 1995, David and Stephen Dewaele have continuously pushed the boundaries of music into new and innovative territories, diversifying across multiple creative fields. They are a band (Soulwax), DJs (2manydjs), a record label (DEEWEE), a sound system (Despacio), and have even created an app and website (Radio Soulwax).
They are also widely recognised as one of the most innovative remix and production teams working today. Their recent projects include Cliché by Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul, Bizcochito by Rosalía, Too Late Now by Wet Leg (recently nominated for a Grammy), I Go by Peggy Gou, Sensitive Child by Oliver Sim, You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) by Sylvester, and Work It by Marie Davidson, also Grammy-nominated. Their remix portfolio also includes artists such as Fontaines D.C., Diplo, Chet Faker, Róisín Murphy, LA Priest, Robyn, SG Lewis, Channel Tres, Arcade Fire, The Rolling Stones, Tame Impala, Metronomy, Daft Punk, The Gossip, Hot Chip, MGMT, and Warpaint, among many others.
Known to millions simply as 2manydjs, Stephen and David Dewaele helped redefine modern DJing. Alongside like-minded pioneers such as Erol Alkan, Tiga, and Jacques Lu Cont, they electrified dance floors around the world, bringing a rock ’n’ roll attitude to club culture.

Balanescu Quartet Plays Kraftwerk

Since its formation in 1987, the Balanescu Quartet has earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading contemporary music ensembles. Driven by Romanian-born violinist and composer Alexander Balanescu, the quartet has consistently crossed musical boundaries into unexplored territory.
Their commitment to pushing beyond the traditional string quartet format has resulted in an ensemble whose sensibility is often closer to that of a band than a classical group, reflecting Balanescu’s strong belief in the fluid exchange between different musical worlds.
Having collaborated with composers and artists such as David Byrne, Pet Shop Boys, Michael Nyman, Gavin Bryars, John Lurie, Jack DeJohnette, and Ornette Coleman, while also developing projects inspired by Romanian folk traditions and the music of Kraftwerk, the Balanescu Quartet has created a style that sets it apart from any other string quartet.
Their live performances are renowned for their energy and dynamism, taking them from venues as diverse as The Knitting Factory in New York and The Roundhouse in London to the Lincoln Center and Wembley Arena. They continually seek new contexts in which to present their music.

Rui Vargas (Lux Frágil)

As Musical Director and resident DJ of Lux Frágil since day one, Rui Vargas has maintained a lifelong passion for sharing music, finding the right record at the right moment.
A radio host and DJ since 1988, he has performed alongside some of the biggest names in House and Techno. His enthusiasm for quality and discovery has made him one of Portugal’s most sought-after DJs.
A true tastemaker, he demonstrates his talent not only through his weekly show on RTP Antena 3 every Saturday, but also behind the decks, where his legendary six-hour sets have earned him a devoted following, and through his curation of the musical programme at Lux, a genuine melting pot of styles.

MXGPU Live Act

MXGPU is the result of the creative fusion between Moullinex and GPU Panic, two of Portugal’s leading electronic music producers and composers.
At the heart of the dance floor, the duo has established itself as one of the most distinctive live acts in electronic music, delivering a transformative 360° performance that dissolves the boundaries between stage and audience. Their immersive shows have captivated sold-out crowds across Europe, Asia, North America, and South America.
Their debut album, Sudden Light (Discotexas, September 26, 2025), is an eleven-track journey that is both contemplative and collective, balancing light and shadow, raw emotion and electronic precision, vulnerability and power. The album has won over audiences and received support from influential tastemakers worldwide.
In 2026, the duo entered a bolder and faster-paced era, fully embracing club culture while exploring the limits of dance music and redefining the live experience for audiences around the world.
MXGPU embodies the perfect balance between elegance, pop sensibility, and club spirit. Their work is not simply music to dance to; it is also a carefully crafted sonic journey.
Following Live Over Lisbon, filmed beneath the waters of the Tagus River, and Live Over Porto, where the duo performed suspended thirty metres above the ground at Primavera Sound Porto, they now arrive in Alcobaça with a Live Act that promises to be unforgettable.
