Justice - † (Cross)

One of the defining releases of 2000s French electronic music, this album fuses house, electro, rock and disco into a heavy, distorted and highly energetic sound.

Pounding beats, saturated bass, chopped samples and processed guitars create a maximalist aesthetic, combining the aggression of electro with strong references to rock and dance music. The production is deliberately exuberant and compressed, giving each track a powerful physical presence and immediate impact. A landmark record in the evolution of club-oriented electronic music and a key example of a more visceral and accessible approach to electronic production.
