A Cross the Music Spectrum!

Electronic music is coming up in a big way, which is great. DJs today are putting together some of the nastiest, funkiest, hardest shit I’ve ever heard (shout out to Wolfgang Gartner). It’s time to look back at the influences of our generation in this genre. The godfathers of what we know as electronic today are none other than a combination of Daft Punk and Justice…in my opinion. Honarable mention: Soulwax, Boys Noize, sebastiAn and the Ed Banger crew. I know neither of these duos are in need of an introduction.

For tonight, I thought I’d make a throwback post to the album that really hit electronic home for me: Cross by Justice. This album made the transition into loving electronic music that much easier. It’s flawless from beginning to end. With classics like “D.A.N.C.E.,” “DVNO,” and “TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY” anyone can get down, whether you like electronic or not. They introduced a harder, more bass oriented aspect to electronic, and you can tell they had a lot of fun with it (I know they did on tour). Anyway, download and listen to this album. Become familiar with it because it get’s a lot of attention in DJ sets, rightfully so. This is one of those albums that’s never a bad idea to shuffle through.
