Justice

Justice, the Parisian duo of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, emerged in the mid-2000s as the flagship act of Ed Banger Records. Their sound identity is built on a foundation of 'French Touch' house music, but heavily modified with heavy metal aesthetics and maximalist production.

Their 2007 debut, 'Cross', revolutionized electronic music by introducing extreme sidechain compression and distorted, guitar-like synth textures, influencing a generation of EDM and electro-house producers. Over their career, they have oscillated between the gritty aggression of their debut and the more polished, prog-rock and disco-inflected sounds of 'Audio, Video, Disco' and 'Woman'. Their 2024 return with 'Hyperdrama' showcased a sophisticated integration of Tame Impala-esque psychedelia and modern pop. Critically, they are viewed as the bridge between the robotic precision of Daft Punk and the raw energy of rock and roll. They occupy a unique cultural position as 'rock stars of the electronic world,' known for their iconic cross imagery and high-concept live shows that utilize massive stacks of Marshall amplifiers as stage props.
