It has been five long years since French electronic duo Justice have released new original material, but that wait is finally over. The duo of Gaspard Michel Andre Augé and Xavier de Rosnay have released their latest track “Safe and Sound“, which debuted at the Ed Banger House Party at the Sónar 2016 Music Festival back in June, during Pedro Winter’s (aka Busy P) DJ set.
The duo has kept a fairly low profile since releasing Audio, Video, Disco back in 2011, with the subsequent tour in support of the album. With rare appearances at festival such as Coachella, Osheaga, Outside Lands and New Orleans’ Voodoo Experience, as well as the release of their live album Access All Arenas in 2013, Justice has been relatively quiet.
It looks like things are about to change, as Paris and London-based independent record label Because Music revealed that the group is currently in the process of signing record release documents, making a potential release imminent. Busy P also revealed that the group was working on new material back in March, stating “they are locked in the studio every day”, via Tenement TV.
In the meantime, listen to the the latest Justice track, which features some funky slap bass, along with string and choral arrangements.
