such a PYT (pretty young thing)
Justice: from disco to aggressive electro, they are jaw-droppers. Word around is that they are the new Daft Punk...nono.. they did what DP should have done (they do share the same manager/headofrecord Pedro Winter). I know they are kinda old now, but I want to share the simplicity of these guys, plus I haven't posted anything since April 5th (There, I said it H).
Justice on "Do the D.A.N.C.E.". "It took a long time. It was a very ambitious project for us because we had to write the lyrics in English and find the singers. We used a children's choir in London and recorded it at Strongroom Studios. There was only two hours of rehearsals for the children before the recording. We purposely wanted something really fresh and naive, so that's the one reason we used the children's choir. We took the recordings back to Paris and edited every word to make it fit exactly how we wanted it. We did the music first, then the lyrics. It's meant to be a tribute to Michael Jackson, so we thought it would be funny to have children singing the lyrics to the track and of course the "Easy as ABC" references. We compose everything, replace individual parts, de-tune them and so on. The strings are chords we played and then replaced the MIDI with individual string samples. Thats how the chord stabs ended up on the new single"
Justice on how they sequenced 'Cross', We use Cubase -version SX- and Garageband. Really, we don't want to use any other software. We are happy just using Cubase and Garageband"., We have a simple set up: a pair of Genelec 8030s for monitoring (which we think are really ugly). We have a big analogue desk as well, but it doesn't get used any more though; we just do everything inside the computer in Cubase and Garageband.. We've been in the basement for one year, thats why we are so pale!.
