• Quotes

  • '"The DJ side of Justice is more physical than emotional, so it goes from Donna Summer to Lil' Louis, Smith 'n' Hack to '90s rave tracks". -Gaspard Augé

  • "We mainly start with ideas. It's rare when anything comes from us just experimenting. When we started to write the album, we set certain limitations to avoid losing ourselves in something too weird or something that would have taken eight years to finish. We had a very specific idea of how we wanted the album to sound. And to make a draft of the album and then to make it allowed us to get something exactly as we imagined it". -Xavier de Rosnay
