Justice - †

One of the most anticipated electro dance albums of 2007 has arrived. Justice are to release their debut album ‘†’ on the 11th June.

French producers Gaspard Auge and Xavier de Rosnay formed Justice at the start of 2003, originally remixing Simian’s ’Never Be Alone’ on Ed Banger Records.

Three years later, Justice found themselves winning an MTV Europe Music Award for the same track, now re-titled ‘We Are Your Friends’ and at the top of everyone’s most wanted lists.

This new album follows-up the success of ‘We Are Your Friends’ and the more recent EP ’D.A.N.C.E.’ with more classic dancefloor fodder.

Opening with the theatrical ‘Genesis’ and blending into ‘Let There Be Light’ - the album sets it intentions at the start. Massive basslines and sharp breaks mix with off-kilt organ, keyboards, guitars and small vocal samples to create an extremely dancefloor orientated album.

The strutting ‘DVNO’, ‘Stress’ and the huge ‘Waters Of Nazareth’ are also worth a mention - the latter having destroyed nightclubs for the last year or so.

This is a good album and Justice (like Digitalism last month) have done well to translate the dancefloor to the home stereo.

Justice are to take their new live show on the road at the end of this month including nights at Fabric and a batch of festivals including Glastonbury.
