(March 25, 2026) — Soulwax share their brand new single “Perfect We Are Not,” following its premiere on Nick Grimshaw’s BBC 6 Music Breakfast Show. The track emerges directly from the band’s recent Abbey Road After Hours project - a unique collaboration with the iconic London studio that saw Soulwax take over the building for a series of recording sessions and a landmark live event.


Working across Abbey Road’s historic spaces - from Studio Three, to Studio Two, to Studio One - the band used all three rooms as a continuous creative environment, moving fluidly between them in pursuit of new material. It was within these sessions that “Perfect We Are Not” was written and recorded with their full live band (including three drummers).


As captured in the Abbey Road After Hours Documentary released last week, the track was cut using the studio’s vast array of analogue equipment before being pressed direct to vinyl and played as the opening moment of their 2manydjs set inside Studio One. Debuted that night to a packed room, the first ever play of “Perfect We Are Not” was met with an immediate and overwhelming response — a clear early signal of its impact on the dancefloor.


Now released as a standalone single, “Perfect We Are Not” carries that immediacy forward — a driving, full-bodied track that reflects the band’s instinctive, performance-led approach in the studio, and will also be released as a limited edition 12” via DEEWEE.


The release follows Soulwax’s recent album All Systems Are Lying and arrives ahead of an extensive run of summer live activity as both Soulwax and 2manydjs. Long regarded as one of the most innovative and physically compelling live acts in electronic music, their shows fuse precision, volume and movement into something that sits somewhere between a rock concert and a club night.
