B-Rad, you’re talking rubbish.Barring the expensive mac,the Justice album was quite low budget.We’re talking REALLY low budget here – an alarm clock as monitors? Garageband?

Ipod speakers?Honestly?

Also, ” YRZ3R0″ – do you actually have any idea how Ableton live works at all? They would undoubtedly have bounced the live edits of tracks down beforehand. I.E each song is only one track, with all effects pre-applied.

I’d bet good money that yes, they did spend a huge amount of time on the album. But the band themselves have said time and again that it’s all ITB.This lark bout locking themselves in a basement is baseless bollocks.
Don’t get me wrong, I bloody love the album! But seriously, try and actually find out if what you’re saying is true before you go off all ranting and shit.

I was at the opening show of So Me, Cream & 2 Shy in Brussels at A.L.I.C.E. Gallery! For those of you who don’t know, So Me was the artist behind the D.A.N.C.E. videoclip!! Check out the site for some cool pics http://www.alicebxl.com

First of all Chris, they’re not fake, you just aren’t educated to well in electronic music. They would be fake if they were just looping a bunch of random samples that they bought online, but they aren’t. I would like to see you get on stage and replicate their music live. Impossible, unless there is 20 people on stage (smoking meth). Their Grammy Award winning album “Cross” was made from SCRATCH using synthesizers as old and vintage as the Korg MS20. Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay (Justice) locked themselves in a basement with 8 synthesizes, a computer, two beds, a mini fridge, and no internet for four months straight to produce this album. Oh, and when they finally came out four months later to get some fresh air and get laid, they decided they wanted to create one more song. So they went back down to the basement for another entire month to create the song “Waters of Nazareth”. They worked very, very hard to produce this album. I assure you. Now let’s get back to the live shows… Justice, and many other electronic groups, are limited to how much can be played live based on the number of tracks and effects being used in each song, vs there just being the two of them. So they do what is called a “DJ set”, as opposed to the impossible “live set”. Picture it like a giant club, only rather than focusing on dancing and girls, you are focused on the D.J. and the music, making it a concert. Their live performance is merely a time where Justice get’s to relax and spin the s*** they have worked so hard to make. In a way it’s double talent. Not only can they produce this bada** album, but they also have amazing D.J. skills. And people love it. And they always will.

I think Justice do owe an apology to the gear-heads though for making something that looks as cool as a huge modular synth and a bunch of marshalls and not actually doing it . I don’t care if Justice is pretending to be playing it or not . It just pisses me off that something that has the potential to be so fucking awesome and badass is fake .

Lol that’s so fake. All those stacks of shit are just there to look cool. The whole set is probably on a hard drive in the back and they just twist a few knobs once in a while to look intense.

Don’t get me wrong I like justice but electronic “live” shows are such a farce.

But since the way musicians get paid right now is by doing “live” shows it puts any non-dj electronic producers in a bit of a bind thus forcing them to do these silly live acts.

viktor i agree with you whole heartedly, obviously igor has been here for long enough to pass judgement on several decades of music, i think he may feel a little bit down about the whole thing that people are using much more versatile instruments nowadays its no longer just strings and wood, now we got circuitboards(bent or straight), pedals, racks, x-y controllers, and shit loads of l.e.d’s as our own little disco lights. as a producer of electronica i can say that its not easy making this music. it can sometimes take weeks to make a 3 minute track as you wanna add more and take more away, having to delete old tracks or warping them and then effects on top of the basic channels, thats just coming up with the synth that you want, then you need to add drums(whilst controlling the attack decay sustain release and hold of each hit).then you need to figure out the structure aswell as some kind of hook….and its soooo hard to think of words to go with these kind of tracks, lest we forget all the original hardwork that went into researching and buying the equipment, the money spent on that is probably something into the thousands if not tens of thousands.im 19 and i work my arse of to buy things that it takes alot to understand. so igor(busy being dracula’s servant) dont be so judgemental on music. im into jstice in a big way aswell as mitch uffie feadz autokratz simian mobile disco etc etc…aswell as inme reuben biffy and alll the rock, as unintentional as it was justice have managed to connect people from both sides of the pond, for christs sake, my band has a goth drummer who i got into electro and now he makes electro msic aswell as me…so nerr, and WHY SO SERIOUS???

I would love to see you make better music, Igor.

In the meantime, let us all know where you work so we can show up at your workplace and then write on the internet how you get worse at your job every decade.
