If you watched the MTV music awards this past weekend, then I know you are definitely starved for music, so here we have another music monday, but this time with a theme. For this monday and the next couple, I’m going to focus on specific artist, that I think everyone should be checking out. So lets get started with this weeks artist, Justice.

Justice are a French electro house duo consisting of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay. Most would say at the they are one of the hottest acts in the Electro scene, often drawing comparison to Daft Punk. Justice exploded into the spotlight with their 2003 remix of Simian’s track “Never Be Alone,” created for a Paris college radio station’s remix contest. The remix resulted in the group being signed to Ed Banger and became a hit in clubs and on the internet, eventually getting a commercial release in the summer of 2006 in the UK.

That same year they won the award for Best Video at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2006, for Justice vs. Simian - “We Are Your Friends”. Auge and de Rosnay were not present at the ceremony, and the award was accepted by label art director So_Me and video director Jérémie Rozan. So_Me was famously interrupted mid-speech by Kanye West, who went onto the stage arguing that he should have won the award instead. Sad indeed.

This year Justice released their first full length album title “†” or cross for those who may or may not be able to see that character, after their trademark lighted cross that appears at every performance of theirs. Enough with the history lesson, lets get on to some music.^1.
