Deewee, stylized as DEEWEE is a record label founded in 2015 by David and Stephen Dewaele of the band Soulwax.{{Cite web|title=2ManyDJs start new label |url=https://ra.co/news/31218|access-date=2021-07-20|website=Resident Advisor |language=en}} The label operates from a building in Ghent (Belgium) that the Dewaele brothers nickname DEEWEE 001, referring to it as the first item on the label's catalog.{{Cite web|date=2021-05-07|title=Soulwax's monochrome recording studio nods to 1960s Italian architecture|url=https://www.dezeen.com/2021/05/07/soulwax-glenn-sestig-deewee-recording-studio/|access-date=2021-07-20|website=Dezeen|language=en}} The building was designed for the Dewaeles by Belgian architect Glenn Sestig.{{Cite news|last=Stathaki|first=Ellie|date=2018-08-09|title=The design of an innovative DJs' studio and apartment in Ghent doesn't miss a beat|work=Wallpaper Magazine|url=https://www.wallpaper.com/architecture/dj-music-studio-house-2manydjs-glenn-sestig-architects}} It houses the recording studio where all releases on the label are written, recorded or mixed.{{Cite web|date=2021-07-05|title=The Brotherly Duo Behind Soulwax Celebrates the "Foundations" of Studio DEEWEE |url=https://www.culturedmag.com/soulwax-studio-deewee/|access-date=2021-07-20|website=Cultured Magazine|language=en-US}}

The Dewaele brothers conceived their label in reaction to the trend of electronic music artists collaborating remotely via file transfer and rarely meeting to work together in the same location.{{Cite news|last=Moore|first=Ralph|date=2021-04-16 |title=SOULWAX: "WE HOPE A NEW GENERATION WIPES OUT BUSINESS TECHNO"|work=Mixmag|url=https://mixmag.net/feature/soulwax-business-techno-interview-deewee-foundations-teevee}} The label initially released music by new young artists, until 2017 when Soulwax started releasing their own music on it as well. Their 2017 album "From DEEWEE" was based on the 'Transient Program For Drums and Machinery' live tour and was recorded live in one take.{{Cite web|date=2017-02-09 |title=Soulwax announce first new album in 12 years, recorded in just one take|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/soulwax-announce-first-new-album-12-years-recorded-just-one-take-1971537|access-date=2021-07-21|website=NME|language=en-GB}} It won the album of the year award at the 2017 edition of the Music Industry Awards.{{Cite web |date=2018-01-31|title=No big surprises at this year's Music Industry Awards |url=https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2018/01/31/no_big_surprisesatthisyearsmusicindustryawards-1-3135715/|access-date=2021-07-20 |website=vrtnws.be|language=en}} The duo continued experimenting on the label, featuring an album made entirely with sounds from the legendary EMS Synthi 100 synthesizer{{Cite web|date=2020-05-12|title=Soulwax to release new album based on rare classic synth|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/soulwax-to-release-new-album-based-on-rare-classic-synth-2667081|access-date=2021-07-21|website=NME|language=en-GB}} and an online TV channel, named DEEWEE TEEVEE.{{Cite web|date=2021-05-12|title=Soulwax launch new online TV channel Deewee Teevee|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/soulwax-launch-new-online-tv-channel-deewee-teevee-2939439|access-date=2021-07-21|website=NME|language=en-GB}}
