Justice - Cross

The album Cross, stylized with a cross symbol, was released in 2007 on Ed Banger Records, a prominent French electronic music label. The label is headed by Pedro Winter, who famously managed Daft Punk. This release solidified Ed Banger's reputation in the global dance music scene.

The album yielded several massive electro-house singles, most notably D.A.N.C.E., which featured a children's choir and earned a Grammy nomination. Other popular tracks include DVNO and Phantom Pt. II. The song D.A.N.C.E. became an anthem for the mid-2000s indie-dance movement.

Justice is a French electronic duo consisting of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay. They created Cross by blending heavy distortion, chopped vocal samples, and rock-influenced production techniques. Their unique sound set them apart from their contemporaries in the French house scene.

The duo chose the cross symbol as a nod to their shared love of religious iconography and a desire to be controversial. Xavier de Rosnay and Gaspard Augé wanted a title that was simple, recognizable, and universally understood. The album is officially known as Cross, though the cover only features the symbol.
