JUSTICE .. the story so far....... Read this!!


20ers boy duo from the North of Paris, JUSTICE formed in 2003. Gaspard Augé (aka ‘The Moustache’) and Xavier de Rosnay (aka ‘The China’) met at a party in a packed kitchen where Gaspard was spitting beer in girl’s hair. They soon found the name ‘Justice’, had badges made with their logo on, then at last decided to record some tracks together. Their first collaboration paid tribute to The Buggles, which was actually quite a good start.


THE CHEESE AND DELICATESSEN INCIDENT
At a raclette party, Xavier and Gaspard met the infamous Pedro Winter. After sharing some red wine, ham and pickles with the boys, Pedro fell in love with their bedroom-recorded Simian’s ‘Never Be Alone remix. The track was actually intended to participate in a remix contest but headed directly to Pedro’s office instead. Catchy as can be, Justice’s ‘Never Be Alone’ only keeps the screaming chorus vocals from the original Simian song and builds up a stunning soon-to-be club anthem out of it.


NE SOIS JAMAIS SEULE
Pedro’s label, Ed Banger Records put out the EP as its 3rd ref. Rocking the charts as fast as it could, ‘Never Be Alone’ became a hit, spinned, bought, and put to playlist by Erol Alkan, Tiga, 2 Many DJ's, Ivan Smagghe, Mark Moore, Arthur Baker, Miss Kittin, etc, and started pogos across European clubs. Kids have been seen chanting the whole track while dancing at it, knowing every break and bass line by heart…
In 2004, International Deejay Gigolos – legend DJ Hell's label - put out the EP again, featuring a remix by Hell himself. Arrives the time for international dance-floor burning – and good occasions to buy cheapest cigarettes: they started riots around Europe in Munich, Berlin, Barcelona, Milan, Roma, Vienna, Brussels, London and the greatest Paris clubs, picking from Prince to Robert Armani, Beastie Boys to LFO.

Following its first successful EP, Justice has been asked to nail down remixes for N*E*R*D*, VICARIOUS BLISS, SCENARIO ROCK, post-hardcore phenoms DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979, FATBOY SLIM, SOULWAX, MYSTERY JETS, DAFT PUNK, BRITNEY SPEARS, FRANZ FERDINAND... Although working for very different artists, Justice finds every time the way to make girls and boys frantically dance, with a discreet tear in the eye (because of the keyboards chords) while raising their fists (well, because of everything else).


SO BE IT
End 2005: Justice is about to put out its second EP, namely ‘Waters of Nazareth’, featuring the ground breaking title song, the harmonically ambitious yet extremely catchy ‘Let There Be Light’ and the up-tempo Dancing Vampire-like ‘Carpates’. The EP is already a fav, played by Laurent Garnier, Trevor Jackson, Tiefschwarz, James Holden, Andrew Weatherhall, Optimo, Benny Benassi (!) and such. The boys are working on their first LP. Let’s hope Metallica’s motto will reign soon:
AND JUSTICE FOR ALL…

Rider: 1 bottle of vodka, some apple juice and coca-cola, 1 human-sized cross.

Excellent, might head up to this. I didn't get to see them at 110th Street a few months back. I've been meaning to see Channel One again too.

This mp3 was my favourite set of last year:

They were amazing @ 110th St. Totally blew the place away. It was for the 7the Birthday night of 110th st in Nov. It was advertised on posters around town and was in there mail out for weeks before if i remember correctly. They are a sound pair of nutters too, they were back in a house party afterwards which was madness. Id defo head to see them again.

Good work on getting them back over here, they loved the Irish crowd!
