Laconic, philosophical and dragging on a cigarette between heavily-accented musings, Gaspard Augé is the epitome of French cool, and moreso because he’s one half of Justice, the introduction-shunning groovesters of the year. He fills us in on scary fans, making waves and that ‘D.A.N.C.E’ song…
How was your 2007?
It was the best year of our lives, it was an amazing time for us.
What were your highlights?
I guess it was the very first gig we did at Coachella, because we had just finished the album and it was the very first time people had listened to the tracks, everybody seemed to enjoy it, so it was really like a great reward for what we’d been doing in the studio.

Did you achieve everything you set out to at the start of the year?
Yeah we did, but we’re not really working on the basis of expectations. We’re taking it day by day and everything has been really cool for us thus far.
Did you make any new musical discoveries?
We were really into the Midnight Juggernauts, the album is called ‘Dystopia’. That is really one great record.

Sum up your 2007 in seven words, please
Blood, Sweat and Tears, And Justice For All.
What are you hoping for in 2008?
The live tour is going until October, and then we’ll take a break to work on the show and finish the tour with a totally different version.
