And justice for all French DJs

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.
