THIS video made me relive my faith in the power of the T-shirt. Remember the days of rave when DJs wore T-shirts with cool designs? And you thought only punk-rockers can wear one with either Metallica (Beavis), Ramones (assuming the wearer actually listens to the band) or that signature Rolling Stones tongue-wag.
Truth is, tees look great on DJs with enough club-swinging cred like Gaspard Auge and Xavier de Rosnay, the French duo behind Justice. French DJs, eh? Remember 90s-era Daft Punk (dudes with equally cool names Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter) or the more lounge-y yet swingin’ Air?
Gig theatrics aside (one lugs around a giant cross, the other wears astro-man helmets), Justice sounds more like Daft Punk, with heavy, guitar-churning beats. Not so much present in this song. (Is this their answer to DP’s “Around the World”?). Nonetheless, consider Justice served.

Their live shows are an even bigger indication of decadence. I had the fortunate opportunity of attending one–too bad I was too late to get to the merch counter to buy a tour shirt.
They’ve got a glowing cross mounted where their DJ gear is set-up and two sets of 12×12 Marshall amp speakers right behind them for maximum visual impact. They also do a kickass cover of Metallica’s Master of Puppets during their set encores.
