Justice.....not too much can be said to categorize this duo of musical geniuses. Not only have they single-handedly been able to reinvent electro/dance music in less than 6 years, but also have managed to tour the globe and pick up 4 GRAMMY Nominations, 3 MTV Europe Music Awards, and 1 MTV Video Music Award along the way. Being an avid listener of Justice, I pride myself in knowing that each remix of theirs not only serves "justice" to the original tune, but absolutely blows the original out of the water, making the final product a hit every time. Being a trumpet player who enjoys jazz, hip hop, and big band swing music, one would not normally think that I would be attracted to a group like Justice, and I could imagine why. But the reason that I love Justice so much is the exact same reason that I enjoy jazz, hip hop, and swing ----- because it GROOVES! Who could not like music that just makes you want to jump out of your seat and move your body! Justice's music is legendary in that manner--when one puts on a song, say their hit, "DVNO", something is triggered in the mind that causes immediate movement in the lower quarters which slowly but surely creeps into the upper ligaments and creates an all out dancing freak. Having just recently purchased tickets to see Justice LIVE in NYC in February, you can imagine why my body is already feeling the urge to move. I am preparing myself for one of the most epic shows ever, and I will try very hard to remain relatively calm throughout it.
So kids, if you have not heard any of Justice's tracks, go out and educate yourself! Their album "Cross" is on sale everywhere and they are planning to release a brand spankin new CD early this year.
PEACE
