When you think of French Electronic music or French House, you must think of many names that are well-known, the first and most iconic one being Daft Punk. Others include M83, Jean-Michel Parre, Kavinsky, DJ Snake and David Guetta, but there’s another French electronic act that’s been doing their thing since the 2000s and that act… is JUSTICE.<\/p>\n
Yep, members Gaspard Auge and Xavier de Rosnay formed the band in 2003, mainly doing remixes for larger mainstream artists like Britney Spears, N*E*R*D* & Daft Punk, but\u00a0 they debuted their first album in 2007 with Cross. <\/em>It was met with critical acclaim and has iconic tracks like “D.A.N.C.E.,” “Waters of Nazareth,” “Stress,” and of course “Genesis.” Some of these you might’ve heard in DJ Hero 2<\/em>, specifically “D.A.N.C.E” remixed with “Nasty” by Janet Jackson & “Waters of Nazareth” remixed with “War” by Edwin Starr. You heard samples of the song “Stress” on the recent Lil Uzi Vert album Pink Tape 2,<\/em> and you certainly heard\u00a0“Genesis” played in\u00a0John Wick Part 4<\/em> in that one special scene (I’m not saying which one; you figure it out).<\/p>\n Of course, I think\u00a0Cross<\/em> is their best album to date and as for their follow-ups like\u00a0Audio, Video, Disco<\/em> and\u00a0Woman, <\/em>they’re decent but didn’t match up to what Cross<\/em> had done. Now 8 years after Woman<\/em> (No, I’m not counting\u00a0Woman Worldwide –\u00a0<\/em>that’s a remix album), they had news of a new album coming, and upon hearing the first single “One Night\/All Night” with Tame Impala, a certain spark came back with that nu-disco groove and their banging electronic vibes switching it up. Then in comes “Generator” which is their usual standard of hard-hitting that goes all the way, followed by “Incognito” and then “Saturine” featuring Miguel and yeah, I was ready for this album. Also, hearing of a Thundercat feature on here helped that anticipation go further.<\/p>\n So, what did I think of\u00a0Hyperdrama?<\/em><\/p>\n
