SEPARES A LA NAISSANCE, REUNIS POUR LA VENGEANCE
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.
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…
