The fact Justice won a Grammy for a remix of Electric Feel, but MGMT never did, is insane to me

[@autumnisbetterthanspring]

@@Skillseboy1 that remix is something else, i don't care but that song is better than original by miles!

How exactly would that work? When a Grammy is awarded to a song all the songwriters receive the award.

The remix Grammy goes to the remixer, not the artist, however. Peace.

[@illusionofartYT]

They way how I re discovered them was learning they won a Grammy over SOPHIE album- Every pearls un-insides for their women world wide live album😭💀 it's great but Sophie definitely deserved it that year

Been with these dudes since the beginning. Same with Daft Punk. There’s something in the French water.

[@Infaziation]

Justice deserves SO MUCH more credit. Good to see a video on them

[@thomascatty379]

Absolutely

[@acoolrocket]

Hyperdrama is in my top 10 for this year. So great to hear them swing at something amazing.

[@dB_Cooper_Music]

I became wheelchair bound in 2008 and the last show i went to that i could dance to fully was Justice on there cross tour. Never danced harder than i did that night. And gotta say it was the best way to go out on my dancing journey.

[@OHHnoYOUdidntMAN]

Damn. †

[@prisonbread]

That was a hell of an era for Justice. So glad you got to experience it while fully able-bodied

[@JamesYale1977]

"Cross" was a foundational album for me, I had loved electronic music from the 90s and definitely was into Daft Punk. Justice ticked so many boxes.

[@JamesYale1977]

DANCE is definitely still in rotation, the whole thing is a masterpiece

[@ElEnemigoCol]

ratatat, lcd soundsystem, jaar on your wall while talking about justice? man... you're basically me

[@Middle8]

I’m him

[@bradywilliams2951]

It's true. -Justice

[@cubicklecub]

Ratatat omg i love them

[@lavenderllamamusic]

For what it's worth, i feel Soulwax should get an honorable mention as well. I put them in the trinity of rock driven electronic music alongside Justice and Daft Punk. Especially since Soulwax actually incorporate traditional rock instruments as a whole band during live shows.

[@StorymakerDude]

Sometimes I’d argue Justice is better than Daft Punk. Where Daft Punk looked to the past for their music, Justice kept their faces forward to the future, and were never afraid to push the boundaries of their sound, all while staying Justice. I love Daft Punk as well, since they pioneered one of my favorite genres and crafted timeless classics time after time, but Justice does something otherworldly that I hear with every single one of their songs that I just don’t get with Daft Punk. TL;DR, I love Justice.

[@supdog8786]

Daft punk discovery> any album from Justice

[@ChrisimWunderland]

Not gonna argue better or worse here, I just want to add that especially "Cross" is packed with microsamples from the disco era.

[@harprudich5946]

lol

[@trueluscao]

i'm glad you commented this, i feel pretty much the same

[@Jwhdieb]

My interpretation is Cross is the best album of their combined discographys (and for all of French Touch for that matter) but Daft Punk had the most groundbreaking overall discography.

[@lavenderllamamusic]

As a huge Daft Punk fan who got into Justice a year after discovering Daft Punk, THANK YOU for this video! Love to see/hear people talking about these artists. I never got to see Alive 2007 or Justice's first tour since i was too young, but i finally saw Justice during this Hyperdrama tour and it was incredible! Prior to those two, i was heavily into pop-punk and rock music as a whole. So hearing tracks like Rollin and Scratchin + Waters of Nazareth made for such a smooth transition into the genre. The one thing I feel you could've mentioned here to also highlight Justice's rock sound and influence would've been their first two live albums! A Cross the Universe feels so much like a metal/punk electronic show, while Access All Arenas feels like an epic progressive rock / electronic love letter. They absolutely nailed it with those. You can feel just how electric it is, although it seems you _definitely_ had to be there to witness it in person to get the full effect of that

[@therealdualipa]

wow, love justice, didnt expect to see them here but glad theyre getting all the love they deserve

[@OngoGablogian487]

Yeah, Justice, so obscure...

[@therealdualipa]

@@OngoGablogian487 sorry i worded my comment badly, not to say theyre obscure i just mean i dont see people talking about them as much as other acts like mgmt or daft punk despite being just as influencial and in my opinion making even better music

[@cesargonzales6782]

100%

[@tadknuf7979]

I've been seeing justice be brought up more and more recently especially with the slight indie sleaze revival and it makes me really happy. They're really amazing.

[@ProbablySteven]

Justice are really incredible in concert. I don't even particularly love their latest album, but the way they mix it and perform it live with mashed-up elements of earlier tracks and chunkier synths, it really blew me away.

[@TheSteveChamp]

The Assassins Creed 2 Gameplay trailer changed my life and introduced me to Justice with Genesis being used in the trailer. Will never forget that video

[@bellamorts]

Justice is so underated, all of their music and remixes are GREAT

[@mizuko6132]

They’re not underrated. They’re huge.

[@FNTM2k3]

I normally wouldn’t say a band that’s won multiple Grammys, worked with Dior, and has been in a lot of popular media is underrated, but I actually think it’s true.

[@lavenderllamamusic]

@@FNTM2k3 yeah tbh, they're huge within electronic music, but outside of that, still relatively outside of the mainstream. They're one of those artists that are in the "if you know, you know" category as i call it lol A lot of my metalhead friends actually regard Justice, Daft Punk, and Aphex Twin as the few electronic acts they listen to. Sometimes deadmau5 too, but more so the former three

[@KimchiFarts]

Dude did we have the EXACT journey and outcome of discovering Justice? 😂 literally changed my life forever, musically

[@blauebanane9]

Cross is one of my favourite albums of all time.

[@ofthenearfuture]

French new wave house (and edm) changed my life... it felt revolutionary at the time, but maybe I was just at an impressionable time in my life as I was just starting university.

[@queennesquik4023]

I completely agree with your point about Justice expanding my musical horizons. Before Justice, all I had ever really listened to was the rock that made it to the radio. Justice hooked me with their rock sound and they were the first band I ever really dug into, I listened to all their albums, Planisphere, the whole lot. From them, I ended up getting into Daft Punk and all sorts of other electronic music. I have them to thank for listening to as much music as I do! I love all their eras, but Woman Worldwide is my favorite, and one of my fav albums of all time. Hoping we get a good re-release of IRIS: A SPACE OPERA someday! There's probably a whole video someone could make about that movie, too. I felt like it was Justice finally making the disco opera they'd been wanting to all along. Great vid, love Justice, love Middle 8!

[@kwuartz]

So glad to have been able to work on this video, it turned out fantastic!! (I also saw a Justice shirt at a Voidz concert last week, reminded me of this exact video hahaha!)

[@Middle8]

🙏 thank you Kai!

[@cretonplay]

The Jungle/Justice back to back at Osheaga was insane. I recommend anybody to go see their show. It's so cathartic to dance all night to them.

[@santiagomartinezraul3647]

This is AWESOME! 'Cross' is one of my all time favorite albums, and as a fan of your content, see that you made a video on Justice is so amazing. Congrats!! (PS. That french pronunciations were on POINT)

[@FrankieProkop]

God, I got into Justice 3 months ago, and goddamn I have not been able to get enough. Love mixing in some New Lands to my Prog Metal and Postrock daily mixes, lol. Their mixes are SO TIGHT.

[@lucasgraeff5391]

discovering genesis in 2012 when I was 16yo was maybe the first time I realized there was so much music that I listened to... this feeling later solidifed with Demon Days

Finally a video for my favorite album. And also thank you for shouting out about Planisphere, this track is a hidden gem and is probably my favorite song of all time

[@djbis]

I like you experienced a life changing moment when I found myself seeing them live in like 2007. Their performance was electrifying in the most heavy metal way possible. I could not believe my ears. Here I was as a huge fan of hard rock music but also a DJ collecting tons of electronic music. Then CROSS shows up and shows me what the two can do together. I was in awe. And their live show was so different than just listening to the album at max volume in my car. Overwhelmingly powerful impression they made on me. I could not get over it for days. I could not believe the revelation of sound I had witnessed!!!

[@bigredballtime5424]

I love Justice. I consider Woman Worldwide and Cross to be 10/10 albums. They r also my 2nd favourite band AOT!!!

just met Justice the other day through Tame Impala (heard Neverender for dayssss) and wow. this video came out at the right time, i'm definitely gonna check them out fr. great video by the way! the culture of sampling and constant remixes legit makes me really glad to be alive at the same time as these guys - it serves as a constant rebuilding of music and that feels fresh but familiar at the same time

[@chrisbullock3504]

I first found them in 2019, I absolutely love their music. The video for new lands live rent free in my head

cross still hits the hardest of all their stuff !

[@orgyonmyown]

I found them when they came out with their first stuff back in 2005/6 because I was obsessed with the Ed Banger music label. Then their first album Cross came out and I literally went to a tattoo parlor and asked them to put the cross from the cover onto my entire back. I was 17 in 2007 and had no tattoos yet. They laughed and threw me out - thank god. Gonna see them next month at the Hyperdrama tour in Berlin. So excited to see them again. And fun fact: at 34 years I still have no tattoos 😂😂😂

[@BradTheProducer]

Justice kind of skipped off the surface of my attention at first when Cross came out, probably just because I had just finished college and was drowning in the job hunt, until one day a friend showed me the video for Stress. When the drop hit in the middle, I locked in and literally screamed "IS THAT A FUCKING DEVO SAMPLE?!" I've been hooked on them ever since.

[@lavenderllamamusic]

hearing Stress live was such a fucking experience! One of my favorite songs of all time

[@walterroux291]

Roman Gavras made some of the best music videos ever. From Stress, to Born Free by M.I.A. Gosh by Jamie xx, Signature by Dj Mehdi. They're all incredible but definitely recommend checking out Born Free, has a similar stress to the Stress video.

[@NEOREV_MUSIC]

Isn't this what The Prodigy did in the 90s? Made electronic music that crossed over with rock and connected with rock and metal fans. The Prodigy can play festivals like RiotFest and Download mainly known for rock music. Justice said their debut album Cross was inspired by two albums, The Prodigy's "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned" and Jackson And His Computer Band's "Smash."
