If you were alive and had ears in 2007, you probably heard Justice drop a little album called †. If you were too busy being under a rock or something, you most likely eventually got washed in the resounding shockwave that occurred afterward. I mean seriously, we are approaching the two year mark since the Justice ship has landed; it's almost impossible not to have heard at least a snippet from what many argue to be the most influential electronic artists today.
But, since their firey release, little more seems to have emerged out of the creative minds of French DJs Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay. Besides a live album and DVD that catalogue the massive success of †, fans have been wondering what those crazy Frenchmen have been up to.
Here's the answer: they've been producing, and I'm here to give you the low-down on all the important Justice happenings since 2007.
-First and foremost is Justice's remix of MGMT's Electric Feel. This is probably their most significant release since †, and so many of you probably know of its existence. Still, it's been very popular to the point of snagging a Grammy, and has since been used for many a mashup involving artists like Kanye West and Notorious B.I.G.

-Next, we have Justice's remix of "Get On Your Boots," the lead single off of U2's most recent album, No Line on the Horizon. It's a fun little number, but I personally prefer the Crookers remix.

-Outside of remixing, Justice has also been working to produce original material for other artists. This first one I have here is a track by dance punk outfit Poney Poney entitled "Cross the Fader." Apparently, their whole upcoming album is being produced by Xavier de Rosnay and will be released sometime (hopefully) soon. In the meantime, you can learn how to play the song by watching the video.

-And, lastly comes a track by the DJ crew Birdy Nam Nam called "The Parachute Ending." I'm probably most excited about this track because it sounds the most like the Justice I know and love. Plus, the music video is being animated by Will Sweeney. Check the teaser trailer for the video and the full track below.
