Justice at Hammerstein Ballroom
The French duo of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay created Justice when the two friends were still graphic design students in 2003 to experiment with a hybrid genre between music and image, blending pop and electronic borders and showcasing their talents as pop culture craftsmen. Their 2007 album was one of the few that bridged the gap between Pitchfork and MTV without losing its credibility.
