On Wednesday night the Parisian, Ed Banger duo, Justice, came and destroyed Mezzanine with a set of dirty electro house bangers. Less than fifteen minutes into their set, practically more than half of the audience was dancing on stage - absolutely losing their shit. When they dropped "We Are Your Friends," it was pretty humorous and a little awkward to see the people dancing on stage screaming the lyrics back at the audience on the floor - completely owning the moment. It was definitely a highlight to see Justice jump on the "return to rave" train and drop the Prodigy classic "Smack My Bitch Up," transforming a song that has always been a little campy for me into a complete rager that just killed it. MSTRKRFT opened and slammed it as well, playing a bunch of their remixes and tracks off of The Looks LP, and particularly nailing the crowd with an old Josh Wink acid track.
Justice - Waters of Nazareth (Erol Alkan's Durrr Durrr Durrrrr Remix)
The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up
MSTRKRFT - She's Good For Business
And in other related news - last night at the MTV Europe Music Awards, the brilliant video for the Justice vs. Simian track "We Are Your Friends" came out of leftfield with an upset win, causing Kanye "Winning a bizzillion Grammy's isn't enough and I want an EMA video award too , boo hoo" West to come on stage and act like an arrogant, egotistical asshole.
