justice, the french dj duo of
Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, are listed just below the headliners of street scene, and for good reason - they're probably the hottest electronic act around right now. emerging onto the dance music scene with a powerful remix of simian's "never be alone" track, they followed it up with their cross symbol cd. that featured the hit "D.A.N.C.E." and lots of aggressive synth stabs, which got a bit samey in my opinion. nevertheless, they continue to put out scorching remixes of popular artists; one example is the great recent mix of "electric feel", the current single from MGMT's debut cd - another street scene artist, btw. give it a listen below and you'll see why justice should be one of the most intense sets of the festival.
