Justice – Planisphère

Photo by I can be accident

Planisphère, Justice’s magnus opus that they created for the Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2009 fashion show. They polished this track up, added their signature reverbs, effects, chopped up edits etc. They even added a proggy wanking guitar solo. You can tell their love for The Fucking Champs is really making an impact on their music. There seems to be a return to their epic church disco sound circa Waters of Nazareth. Maybe Justice is on the way of becoming a full fledged electronic prog band? I wonder what is in store next.
Cheers, Buzz End Direkt

DatA – Rapture Part. II

I was never a fan of the original version of this track featuring Sebastien Grainger but this reworking/remix/part II is fantastic. It is so Timbaland. Such a big synth part and auto tune a la The Dream/T-Pain all over the Sebastien’s vox.
