Selects: Justice

Selects: Justice

A little more than 15 years ago, Justice—Parisian producers Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay—took a hammer to French touch, the suave, filter-heavy strain of house music that was so prominent in the country over the decade prior. Their 2007 debut LP, † (call it “Cross” or just “Justice”), would take the sound that Daft Punk and Cassius had helped to spread worldwide and imbue it with a hard-rock ethos of sorts—pushing the drums into the reds, crunching and chopping up the synths and vocals, and otherwise distorting the music to such a degree that in the live setting, it could quickly make a dance floor resemble a mosh pit. The album would have an outsize impact on dance music to follow, whether shaping Skrillex’s chaotic beat programming or Gesaffelstein’s dark, gothy edge. To celebrate †’s anniversary, Augé and de Rosnay assembled a set of tracks for Selects—the playlist in which DJs and producers showcase the tunes they love. “These are a few of our personal favourite tracks, including classics from many different eras,” de Rosnay tells Apple Music of their picks from artists as wide-ranging as Low, George Duke, Miguel and Thundercat.
