A Physical Fraction

So who ever doesnt know it, just know (and dot ever forget) that I am a super huge fan of Justice and their iconic sound. I cant wait for their new album to drop. These guys just changed the way people view distortion and they brought such a dramatically cool and funky disco element in their music that even today cant be truly rivaled. Im very impressed with their production skills as well as their infamous live performances and I wish they would come down to cape town already. And just for the record, if you dont love Justice then you are no friend of mine. Im not joking. Not even a little. Anyway, for anyone who has been living inside their beds (or their empty heads) for the past couple of years, heres a brief explanation of who Justice is:





Justice is a French electronic music duo consisting of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay. The two were partners in graphic design at first, but soon moved on to their next love. Music. The duo is one of the most successful groups on Ed Banger Records and is managed by the label's head, Pedro Winter. Justice is known for incorporating a strong rock and indie influence into their music and image.





Their remix of the MGMT song 'Electric Feel' won the Grammy Award for Best Remix in 2009. In June 2009, it was announced that Justice would be moving to WMG / Atlantics newly relaunched Elektra Records label, and plans to release a new album in early 2010! (Fucking Brilliant!)





On 1 June 2008, it was said that Justice was chosen by Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers to produce the bands follow up to Stadium Arcadium, but this was quickly corrected by Ed Banger manager Pedro Winter, as Anthony Kiedis had only stated he was a fan of Justice, not preparing for a collaboration. And when John Frusicante found out that Justice and the Ed Banger crew wont be producing their follow up he decided to leave to work on his Empyrean Album, which has become a milestone in Frusciantes musical career. Just kidding... that part didnt happen at all. Just thought it would be cool to put that part in. Anyway, moving on.





In July 2008, Justice was revealed to have done a mix for the Dior Homme Summer 2009 Fashion Show, much like Daft Punk did for Louis Vuitton in 2007. The track, now known as Planisphere, was released in four parts on the bands MySpace page, with an extra final cut that did not make it into the fashion show mix known as "Planisphere IV" or "Planisphere Final".





In April 2009 the music website Stereogum hosted a remix by the duo of U2s song Get On Your Boots, the lead single off of the band's most recent album No Line on the Horizon. Their remix of Lenny Kravitz's song Let Love Rule was also featured on Kanye West's blog. Also in April 2009 at the Coachella Valley Music Festival, Augé was seen at the "Dome" with Busy P, DJ Mehdi, and Daft Punk. They played at the 2009 Voodoo Experience in New Orleans, as well as at the HARD Haunted Mansion in LA over the Halloween weekend.
