Justice

Proving just how all-encompassing the French touch style can be, Justice builds on its vintage funk, disco, and house foundations by adding prog, metal, new wave, indie, and many devil-may-care attitudes. Starting with the Grammy-nominated 2007 single 'D.A.N.C.E.' and that year's full-length † (aka Cross), the Parisian duo defined the bold, stylish, yet tongue-in-cheek appeal of their label, Ed Banger Records, in the mid- the to late 2000s. From there, their music only grew bolder and more unexpected. They cranked up the riffs on 2011's Audio, Video, Disco, collaborated with the London Contemporary Orchestra on 2016's Woman, and mashed up their songs in 2018's Grammy-winning Woman Worldwide. With every release, Justice has reimagined the genre-bending possibilities of a world where all music is available to hear and recombine in an instant.

The duo's label is Ed Banger Records, managed by the label's head, Pedro Winter. Justice is known for incorporating a strong rock and indie influence into its music and image. The band's debut album Cross was released in June 2007 to critical acclaim. The album was later nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album and came in at number 15 on Pitchfork's Top 50 Albums of 2007 and number 18 on Blender's '25 Best Albums of 2007' list. It was nominated for the 2007 Shortlist Prize, losing out to The Reminder by Feist. The band's remix of the MGMT song 'Electric Feel' won the Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical in 2009. It was announced in September 2009 that Justice would be moving to WMG/Atlantic's newly relaunched Elektra Records label. The band reportedly started to work on its second album in mid-2010. The first single entitled 'Civilization' was released the following year. The band released its second album, Audio, Video, Disco, as well. A live album followed this in 2013 titled Access All Arenas.
