Justice faking their live sets?

Poor old Justice are having a hard week. Last Thursday the duo admitted in an interview that their album [†] contained at least 400 uncleared samples, and now comes this photo which shows the pair faking it during a live set.

The MIDI controller on the left ain’t plugged in, but the tall fuzzy-haired one is pretending that it is - he’s got an intense concentrated look on his face whilst moving the faders and knobs. Busted!


A close up reveals the MIDI controller to be unplugged
The thing is - this may not be the best place to discuss this topic - live electronic music is a hard thing to do.

Anyone with a shred of understanding of how the music is made knows that it’s near impossible to play electronic music 100% live, unless you have the talent of somebody like The Bays, who can play improvised dance music using only instruments.

Daft Punk might just be the best live dance act of the last few years, but their set is pre-programmed down to every last beat.

When you’ve got a superbly powerful light show and a giant pyramid light thingy in sync with the music, there’s no way the show could be pulled off without pre-programming it.

So what are dance bands like Justice supposed to do? At least make an effort, and control some of the filters and FX to give the impression of a live performance.

Or remember to plug the damn MIDI controllers in and smile.

Invitation to the great Jazzanova Remix Contest

Jazzanova along with their partners from Soundcloud and Ableton invite everybody to participate in a new remix contest: This time the Berlin-based DJ and producer collective Jazzanova puts the tracks of its latest single "I Can See" at your disposal for remixing. Which is kind of funny since normally it are the folks from Jazzanova that remix tracks of artists like Lenny Kravitz, Common, Ursula Rucker, 4hero, Master At Work, Fat Freddys Drop, United Future Organization, Azymuth, or Calixo. Now they offer one of their very own tracks to their "competitors".

A really attractive set of prizes is waiting for the lucky winner: a package of Ableton’s Live 7 software and a one-year premium membership at Soundcloud as well as the chance of a digital release on Jazzanova’s Berlin-based label Sonarkollektiv. The remixes will be presented on the Jazzanova and Soundcloud homepages. And the winner of the competition will be picked by the Jazzanova expert team itself. Participate in the remix contest here!

We still offer you the possibility to subscribe to Verve's new Jazzanova newsletter. After registration you will automatically receive all information about Jazzanova. Needless to say that you'll also continue to receive the Sonar Kollektiv newsletter.

Join our record release party on November 15th at Cookies, Berlin featuring Ben Westbeech and Gilles Peterson!

Big Geezers art show, this saturday Nov. 8th

One of Europe’s most creative crews will be in Los Angeles to open their Big Geezers show, curated by The London Police, at the Scion Installation Gallery on November 8th, 2008.
Big Geezers will feature Minivila (Croatia), Galo (Italy), Flying Fortress (Germany), Wayne Horse (Germany), Miss Riel (Iceland), Abner Preis, Pez (Spain), Morcky Troubles (Italy), and The London Police (UK) in a wonderfully eclectic and European group showing.
Big Geezers, is a showing from a would-be family of artists who, over several years, have met, worked together, and traveled the globe in search of adventure, hope, and (of course) good times.
The BG crew will blend visual ingredients with interactive methods to delight gallery enthusiasts with an entertaining opening night, as art and interactive installations will be on display for the duration of the exhibit.
Big Geezers plans to entertain the senses as the group decided that in LA "entertainment" is the name of the game. Bring your camera and eat well before you come to the opening, cause these guys like to party!
Big Geezers will run from November 8 – November 29, 2008. More info at scion.com/space
