Justice At Juno Download

Review: In case a new Daft Punk album isn't quite enough for you this month, along come their pals Justice with a fantastic live set recorded in 2012 in the Nimes Arena. It's difficult to capture the excitement in these recordings, but they've nailed the balance of performance and crowd participation to perfection. Just listen to the reaction to the mix of Simian's "We Are Your Friends" and "Waters Of Nazareth" and you'll be tingling from head to toe. What a month it is to be a fan of great French dance music!

Review: More than 18 months after their Audio, Video, Disco LP dropped, Justice's "Helix" finally gets a single release. It's a typical chunk of goodtime disco-stomp, like Daft Punk without the filter-heavy swing, or Cassius trying to rave in ill-fitting straightjackets. Remix-wise, Gesafellstein turns it into a crunchy electro banger - all heavy drum programming, cut-up yelps and murky riffs - while Parisian veteran Domenico Torti (once Dimitri From Paris's go-to "edit guy") cuts it up impressively, adding a dose of fuzzy funk to proceedings. For the heads, there are also two more downtempo bonus cuts, of which the effortlessly sweet "Ohio" is the pick.

Review: With the Ed Banger heroes in fully engaged soft rock mode for their second album Audio Video Disco, this week's single release of "New Lands" and its accompanying remixes marks a nice opportunity to hear a bit more spice from French duo. The duo drop a new "Live" edit of their own, extending the intro for maximum build, while Falcon provides a very pleasing and subtle nu-disco rerub that's full of hypnotically looped vocals, while A-Trak goes the other way and crafts a house/moombahton hybrid out of the original. Trust Sebastian to deliver though - using minimal claps and almost R&B-like synth chimes to make a mean half-stepper out of "New Lands".
