JUSTICE BIO
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 Chinese Boy’) 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, Gaspard and Xavier 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, DAFT
PUNK, MYSTERY JETS... 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, Erol Alkan, Ivan Smagghe,
Trevor Jackson 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.
