Justice is set to release Access All Arenas, a
recording of their show in the ‘Nîmes Arenas’ last July, which was part of
their yearlong worldwide tour. The album revisits their years of
existence so far, giving us a taste of the wild effervescence and the energy of
their lives. Access all Arenas is available on Friday 10 May.
Ten years ago, the track We Are Your Friends
reached our ears and pushed a young French duo consisting of Gaspard Augé and
Xavier de Rosnay aka ‘Justice’ to the front of the electronic music scene. The
duo was signed by Pedro Winter, owner of Ed Banger Records. Their debut record
that followed, ✝, was an album of
condensed jerky electro, disco reminiscences and heavy metal energy, with
unstoppable tunes like D.A.N.C.E,
Stress and Phantom, and its
videos, allowed Justice to follow the 90’s French Touch and its filtered disco
loop.
In 2012, Justice release their sophomore album Audio, Video, Disco
using the combined musical vocabulary of rock and electronic to conjure a laid
back, agricultural effort existing on the outer fringes of pop. Audio,
Video, Disco was created in the duo’s home studio, with all
instrumentation performed by the group themselves.
Since the release of their debut album in 2007, Justice have toured
tirelessly, playing festivals and concerts all around the globe, from Australia
(playing Parklife in both 2007 and 2012) to the United States, Europe and South
America. The duo has played main stages at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Les
Eurockéennes, Les Vieilles Charrues. As well as headlining all of the major
Electronic Music Festivals, Ultra Music Festival, Sonar, and Melt.
The duo developed at a young age, a powerful stage design that they have
polished and magnified throughout the years. Employing a wall of LED-filled
Marshall amps, among other one-of-a-kind eccentricities, Justice are said to
have one of the most ambitiously compelling stage productions today. Their show
is a one and a half hour sonic and visual roller coaster.
