Justice Set to Appear as Featured Speakers at SXSW 2024
Written by djfrosty on February 14, 2024
The Justice comeback is gaining momentum, with the French duo confirmed as keynote speakers at SXSW 2024.
Happening at the Austin Convention Center on March 13 at 2:30 p.m., this rare public conversation from Justice’s Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay will focus on their forthcoming album, Hyperdrama (due out April 26), and the legacy and future of the renowned and boundary-pushing project. The conversation will be moderated by Billboard‘s Senior Music Correspondent Katie Bain.
The conversation will take place just ahead of Justice’s Coachella performances on April 12 and 19, where they’ll debut a new live show.
Today (Feb. 14), the pair also released the darkly sexy (but also disturbing and NSFW) video for their recently released track “Generator.” The video features a pair of human-like robots engaging in carnal and also violent acts that evokes a very twisted version of Valentine’s Day. Watch the video below.

“I think we were excited about the idea of replicating a phenomenon from the 2000s, such as a sex tape, but with a twist,” the video’s director Léa Ceheivi says in a statement.
Out last month as the B-side to “One Night/All Night,” — the album’s disco-leaning lead single with Kevin Parker —”Generator” is classic Justice, with the duo calling the song “like ‘Getaway’ by the Salsoul Orchestra, but with gabber and classic ’90s hardcore techno sounds. Disco/funk and electronic music at large have always been core elements of the music we make as Justice. In Hyperdrama we make them coexist, but not in a peaceful way.”
