I Like Justice

I really like the French Electro House duo Justice, a lot. Yeah, I also like Daft Punk a lot too. A year or so ago I went on a hunt for Justice-like music and mostly came up with stuff that was too repetitive and too far towards house for my tastes. I later Stumbled upon DatA (not from stumbleupon). He’s pretty great and the other day my friend Kevin turned me on to Phonat, WOW! AMAZING! So I went on a hunt and found a bunch more, I present them in order of awesome/closeness to Justice.

DatA - Very much like Justice, but a bit less epic, for lack of a better word. Really cool samples.

Phonat - Epic, like Justice, lots of guitar samples and a very cut-up sound.

DANGER - Started as a chiptune guy, so it’s a mix of French house and chiptune with really cool epic classical samples a lot.

Kavinsky - Good buzzy synths and booming kicks, but a real 80’s fascination, more than the others, and that’s saying something.

Teenage Bad Girl - They’re pretty good, not much more to say.

Boys Noize - Like Justice, a bit more repetitive and not as interesting, but pretty great.

The Bloody Beetroots - same deal, like Justice, worth a listen.
