The Bowery presents Jus†ice @ Hammerstein Ballroom - October 21, 2012
On Sunday, October 21, 2012, the infamous French electro duo Jus†ice will bring their cutting edge beats to the Hammerstein Ballroom.
Jus†ice just released their New Lands EP, featuring five different versions of the track, including the original, a live version, and remixes from Falcon, A-Trak and Sebastian.
Jus†ice, formed by Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, is the band of a whole generation. When the two friends were still graphic design students in 2003, they created Jus†ice as a place to experiment with a hybrid genre between music and image. They wanted to blend pop and electronic borders, and showcase their talents as fascinating passionate pop culture craftsmen, bored with hierarchy.
They then met Pedro Winter who had just founded his label Ed Banger Records, and he immediately signed them after listening to “We Are Your Friends” which, with its joyful and vitamin-enriched electro beats combined with exhilarating voices, became the anthem of a whole generation and one of the most important tracks of the year 2000, celebrating a reconciliation of pop music and the dancefloor. It was awarded an MTV Video Award in 2007, bringing about the famous live TV appearance with Kanye West expressing outrage that his million dollar clip was outclassed by a home-made bomb.
Jay-Z used "D.A.N.C.E" for his next album. From then on, the duo’s ascent was constant, and then lightning struck: remixes for N.E.R.D, Britney Spears, Franz Ferdinand, U2, Daft Punk, Lenny Kravitz and an EP in 2006, Waters Of Nazareth, defined the “Jus†ice sound,” the famous ultra-powerful compression of pop and baroque melodies, both dark and threatening; quick and animated; and above all the famous Jus†ice image, the cross that appears as an earlier version on the first EP.
2007 was the explosion that turned the duo into the emblem of a whole generation: their first album †, anticipated like the Messiah, held all the promises, and swept everything away as an epic soundtrack. † is more than a magnificent synthesis of our time: its potential definition. Now several years later, the album is considered to be a mainstay of the 2000s, one of the few who bridged the gap from the Pitchfork world to MTV without losing credibility.
