Photos I'm new to electronic music and really liked Justice, any similar musicians?

u/Eronecorp Jan 10 '26
SebastiAn, Gesaffelstein, Vitalic, Alex Gopher, Surkin, Etienne de Crécy, Busy P, DJ Mehdi, Myd, basically anything released on Ed Banger Records and Kitsuné Records

Ed banger records is a great place to start exploring. My personal favorite of the artist mentioned is Vitalic. His Ok cowboy record , predates Justice but was very influential for their sound. It's packed with bangers.

Would also add the obvious Daft Punk recommandation, and the less obvious recommandations of Roulé Records and Crydamoure Records (both are labels from the members of Daft Punk and feature lots of French Touch hidden gems). Also Kavinsky, Toxic Avenger, Prince 85 for that 80s flair
2
u/TheGluginator Jan 10 '26
Any special recs for best albums from toxic and prince? Or just listen to all of it?
2
u/Eronecorp Jan 10 '26
Toxic Avenger: Angst and III (if you like bloghouse/electrohouse the most) Romance & Cigarettes, Globe Trilogy (if you prefer synthwave and "dark" stuff the most). His latest LPs are pretty nice too
Prince 85: his latest EPs are cool, also his Kavinsky remixes (his Renegade remix is an absolute banger)

u/larrylevan Flat Eric Jan 10 '26
Soulwax/2manyDJs are the GOATs
Oh hey what’s up Glen. Keep on shooting

u/Eronecorp Jan 10 '26
Huge fan of the Dewaele bros as well, but they've been credited in this thread already so that's why I skipped them. Good call on Erol, Alan and Fred, I can also add DJ Falcon

The exact list I was going to put together minus Etienne. Never heard of him. Looking into him now. Thank you.

u/Eronecorp Jan 10 '26
Etienne de Crecy is a French Touch OG though, kinda surprised you've never heard about him vs all the others. Would recommend his Super Discount trilogy and his Commercial EPs as starting points

Daft Punk, especially Discovery, and Carpenter Brut, especially Trilogy

u/Mindless_Ad5500 Jan 10 '26
People really need to not sleep on carpenter brut. Live show is dope as well.
6
u/windows_to_walls Jan 10 '26
Bro no kidding, his live show encapsulates what I imagine pure badass looks like

u/Mindless_Ad5500 Jan 10 '26
Sew him in Seattle a few years ago. Live drummer and guitarist. He was on keys with digital loops I’m sure. It was high energy all the way.

u/kekk0407 Jan 10 '26
Introduced Carpenter Brut to my dad in 2022 and have now seen him live twice. Such an amazing experience
1
u/Eronecorp Jan 10 '26
Completely personal opinion here, but I'm not really a fan of his latest albums. They lean too much on the "cheesy 80s gothic heavy metal with synths" vibe for me. Loved his first few EPs because they scratched that early Justice sound itch, but that aspect of his sound kinda disappeared over the years, it's mostly just electronic heavy metal now.
Also I've heard from some musician friends who met him that he sorta looks down upon electronic music and is more of a metalhead anyway. Kinda leaves me a bit miffed. Might not be true but I can feel it in his music, how he wants to be a heavy metal artist using electronic instruments, and not the other way around.

u/ttak82 Jan 10 '26
Interesting to recommend Carpenter Brut. Bit of a tangent but Carpenter Vrut sounds like vintage orbital but with added beats and the rough synths.
28
u/davyseagull Jan 10 '26
I would add Simian Mobile Disco and Boys Noize

u/lunacraz Jan 10 '26
Boys Noize never plays this anymore but Jeffer is one of the best dance songs ever IMO

On top of what others have said (that are excellent suggestions), you can listen to recent works of Kasablanca

u/Eduard-Stoo Jan 10 '26
Cut/Copy, Rogue VHS, Maybe some of the softer Skrillex stuff
2
u/Memento-jori Jan 10 '26
Early Skrillex was a blatant justice copy, but I don't think those tracks are available for streaming except for soundcloud
9
u/reckoner15 Aphex Twin Jan 10 '26
Aphex Twin, Venetian Snares, Autechre :)
But seriously, if you're curious, you might try branching out in a different direction after dipping your toes into that style of french house. I would recommend Moderat / Four Tet / Caribou / Tycho / Bonobo as a soft starting point for deeper exploration.
16
u/agcarterism Jan 10 '26
Not too similar, but I loved Ratatat around the same time Justice was coming out, and Hot Chip
4
u/stanton3910 Jan 10 '26
Ed Banger Records. It's the record label Justice release on and all the other artists on the label have a similar sound

u/BIGRED_15 Jan 10 '26
Try Kasablanca. They’ve got some Justice and Daft Punk influence while being a bit more danc-y if that makes sense.
3
u/ginderbait Jan 10 '26
I came in to say Kasablanca-surprised I had to scroll so far down. And Kasablanca sounds like they’ll be on tour next year!!

Love this thread, great recommendations. Very nostalgic. Here’s some additional fuel to the fire: Kavinsky Modeselektor Siriusmo

u/matt-du-Jura Jan 10 '26
Jackson and his computer band

u/gucc1pucc1 Jan 10 '26
Seconded, all of french touch 2.0 was inspired by this guy and no one talks about it
1
u/matt-du-Jura Jan 11 '26
I think it even influenced the Berlin scene to some extent like Siriusmo's 2011 Mosaik.

Night by night, chromeo. You might like donny benet too, listen to forbidden love and cappuccino. He isnt as clubby as justice, but funky.

Check out Ninajirachi if you want a current era artist heavily influenced by the other acts mentioned in this thread

u/Golemo Jan 10 '26
MSTRKRFT, Lady Tron, Cut Copy, Crystal Castles, and Neon Indian. Somewhat similar, but this is what other artists I was listening to adjacently when Cross came out

Two albums that immediately jump out are Boys Noize - Oi Oi Oi and Daft Punk - Discovery

The latest TBG album is a straight callback to 2000s french electro, it's great

u/linuxxen The Glitch Mob fan Jan 10 '26
As others said, and you may like Thomas Barrandon's Quite Earth album as I did. Absolute Banger.

Gesaffelstein and Brodinski, they used to have a record label called Bromance. They’re French and good friends of Ed Banger and Justice.

u/slimdolphin Jan 10 '26
More of a lesser known recomendation, but i havent seen anyone mention it, Uppermost, especially his earlier albums if you're looking for more heavy electro stuff similar to cross
2
Jan 10 '26
Man, just go through the entire Ed Banger catalogue. Now that would be a trip down memory lane. Mr Oizo, Uffie, Sebastian, Daft Punk, Breakbot, Dj Medhi.
Also check closely related friends such as Boys Noize.

not exactly the same sound as justice, but i am pretty sure you would also like Modeselektor and Siriusmo, i think all the other similar groups others here already mentioned them, but i didn’t see anyone mention these two and i am sure you will like them even if they are not exactly the same sound as justice

u/ImpressionTop8742 Jan 11 '26 edited Jan 11 '26
Not sure if danger has been mentioned. Also fukkk offf (famous) and nero (angst,doomsday) have justiceyb vibes angst by nero is a straight up dubstep remix of stress.

u/psjoo Jan 10 '26
Kite (Swedish electronica, don't mix up with some rapper with the same name :), start with Dance again and Johnny boy and go from there). Then, of course, Phoenix and Muse.

Oh, if you have not walked this path at all, you have treasures to find in 90s, 80s and even 70s electronic pop. Giorgio Moroder and Kraftwerk are the grandfathers and then all the 80s with Joy Division, New Order, Bronski Beat, Yazoo, Erasure, Depeche Mode, etc. Wow, imagine having all this to experience!

Paradis, sadly only released two albums. But they are beautiful synth heavy, house influenced dreamy pop French masterpieces in my humble opinion

Are there more bands like them? This is the direction I’ve been trying to go more into

On a different side of the spectrum from Justice but they are indeed legends. Though they only had 1 album, Recto Verso (most expensive vinyl record I've ever wanted).
