Since the 2006 dawn of in particular the british dubstep scene, the concert with french electronica duo JUSTICE last night at Vega, was nothing less than a groundbreaking experience, but also as far from dubstep as you can almost possibly get.

I had prior to the concert bought and enjoyed their album, but hadn`t experienced a lot of other original names on the electric clash/mash up scene except from the Swedish wonder of Familjen.
The 2 by 3x3 Marshall amplifier racks on both sides of the scene was a good laugh, but needed to deliever an aggressive and intensively massive sound. The mixes of old-school harmonic westcoast vocal arrangements, speedmetal, industrial, all in all made me think of how Kraftwerk would sound on a mix of ketamine and coke, however the lasting (sound) image of the JUSTICE concert was really uplifting.
Three words: Young, Fresh, Wow!
