Guess who's back, back again...

So I was thinking, there's no actual reason to give up writing my blog. It takes me an hour or so to prepare these posts and gives me a welcome distraction from my dissertation which is interesting, troublesome and tiring, my recordings which again, despite being great fun, stress the hell out of me and any other work related troubles. So i've decided to take this blog in a different sort of direction. I want to talk to you about music that i'm listening to, to shows i've been which are plenty and any other general music related experiences. With an eventual intention of working in the beloved music industry, i want to be able to write about it in an interesting way and this is my forum for the moment. If tracks are available for free then i'll post them up, if they're not i'll show you where to get them from legally, the artists need every penny they can get. So there we go. If you enjoy reading this, then grand. If not, i enjoy writing it so i still win. Sweet.

I suppose if this is to represent my current musical interests, i should let you know what I'm listening to. And its Justice. In as many forms as i can, from the superb album † to remixes of their tracks by Soulwax to remixes they've created of artists such as JT. I've gone electro crazy.

Justice are a French electro-house duo currently residing on the citchy french label Ed Banger records, home to sebastiAn among others. † was an instant success upon its release in June 2007, receiving accolades from mixmag, pitchfork and Q. With their unmistakeable comparisons to Daft Punk, Justice's biggest breakthrough came in the form of single D.A.N.C.E which gave them instant recognition in indie and club circuits. The song is layered with female vocals to sing along with, the smooth guitar heralding their inspiration and the stabbing synth strings to give the song its push. The album constantly harks back to the days of French disco with its dreamy synths in Valentine and the disco beats of album highlight DVNO and the fact that the album runs smoothly through its 12 tracks with breakneck speed indicates the skill of Justice as producers.

Currently on a massive tour of the US after recently selling out the Astoria as part of the NME showcase that saw them perform along acts such as Simian Mobile Disco, Kooks, Kate Nash, Pigeon Detectives, Hard-fi; the list goes on and luckily for Justice, so do the accolades.
