Justice are a Grammy award nominated band from France. Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay got their start by winning a remix competition at a Paris college’s local radio station. The remix of Simian’s “Never Be Alone” earned them a deal with Ed Banger Records who released the song for them to various clubs and the internet. It would later be released commercially in the U.K. with the help of Ten Records (a sub-label of Virgin Records).Justice would later help in the remixing of songs for groups such as N.E.R.D & Daft Punk and for artists such as Fatboy Slim and Britney Spears. Justice won the award for Best Video at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2006 but couldn’t accept their award due to prior commitments. Their video director accepted the award on their behalf but was famously interrupted by R & B/rapper Kanye West who thought he should have won the award instead of them. Kanye would later phone the group to apologize for his actions. In 2007, the group would tour across the globe with stops at such concerts as the Coachella Music Festival, Fuji’s Rock Festival and the Oxegen festival in Kildare, Ireland just to name a few.Their Coachella performance was actually their first performance in front of a live audience as before that they would simply be in the studio or doing videos with their turntables. Their act has attracted attention for their large lighted-up crucifix that joins them on stage in the background. Justice was nominated for Best Dance Recording (for D.A.N.C.E.) and Best Electronic/Dance Album (for †) at the 50th Grammy Awards. You can check out more of Justice over at our jukebox.
