Part of the Weekend Never Dies.

Our weekend ended, instead of began, with electronica.

David and Stephen Dewaele are also known as 2 many DJs, Flying Dewaele Brothers, Samantha Fu, Kawazaki and, perhaps best of all: Soulwax.

The two have remixed for the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Daft Punk, Justice, the Gossip, Robbie Williams, and Kylie Minogue. They’ve also toured the world as a rock band, and then again, as both.

If it sounds confusing, that’s because it is. Luckily, there’s an easy way to figure it out. Part of the Weekend Never Dies, a documentary about the real life brothers and DJ duo, packages the narrative into an incessant visual experiment, with each scene leading up to the final beat; a visual representation of not only the music, but also what it means to the fans.

The film, which played during last night’s Hot Docs Midnight Screening, was more documentary than band DVD, thankfully. Shot on a single camera, with cuts that moved like early MTV on speed, the footage moves with the brother’s beats, jumping from the flailing arms of dancing fans in sweaty t-shirts to friends and groupies drugged out backstage, whispering secrets to the camera.

The film admits that, aside from video game testing, being a DJ may be the most ridiculous, simplistic, high-paying job in the world. But still, there we were, transfixed and smiling, dancing in our Sunday night seats.

And when our city appeared on the screen, she remembered the night, when she, not unlike the girls in film, had stood sweaty and claimed, honest and earnest, that Soulwax was the best live DJ set she’d ever seen.
