Too good to be true? Probably but, it has happened; UK indie rockers Klaxons have been remixed by Parisian electro producers Justice and the result is this swoon worthy track which would be criminal not to post. Listening to it I can’t help think of Michael McDonald and the old sound is proof that we still have much to learn from decades past.

MP3: Klaxons - As Above, So Below (Justice remix)
The original track ‘As Above, So Below’ is from Klaxons dreamy release ‘Myths Of The Near Future’. You can pick that up here
I don’t know, seems like them Justice has lost their inspiration a bit, ey? Or maybe my expectations on a combo like this are just too sky high…
what are you talking about - this track is pure beauty! And if what you are saying is that Justice is getting tooo disco, that’s the american in you talking cause paris will AAAAALWAYS be all about the disco, with no shame.
It is very middle of the road Disco. Still pretty good though.

Thanks to Kidz
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He’s watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There’s nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees…
Aye!
Justice will never lose inspiration, if anything they are just gaining more inspiration and exploring more possibilities. This song is amazing, two amazing groups.
wtf, how can you call this shit disco?
this is sleepy boring 4 on the floor shit.
not even comparable to fukn disco
listen to some like t-connection or larry wood, garys gang, macho, lime
just dont try calling this music disco, what-so-ever.

old rock sounds different than new rock.
old rap sounds different from new rap.
new disco sounds different than old disco.
etc. so on. such and such. that’s my personal stance on it.
Nah man i totally agree with don Simon.
I really can tell in that ZZT remix.
Remember the good ol days of Justice vs Simian.
now that was an epic remix.
This song is excellent to listening, not for dance.
I love this - but I also really love Klxxxns and Justice too. I admit though, I was expecting something more epic, but then I thought about which Klaxon song they were remixing (which is kind of an awkward one, in a good way) - so for what it is, I think it’s great. Again, totally biased. :] Missingtoof never misses a B-E-A-T lolllzz
Well it is good to hear something coming from Justice other than another D.A.N.C.E. remix. I am beginning to loath that song. I honestly will never put it in the dex again.
I’ve tried, trust me, but I just can’t get too excited over this tune. Not bad, but same old same old - the heavy bass/snare drum, the bass line, the let’s-cut-all-high-frequencies-and-then-slowly-turn-them-back…
Am I being too critical here? Justice is still the shit though. But regarding nu disco the town isn’t Paris but Olso(!) - Lindstrom, Todd Terje, Prins Thomas etc - go check some funky tunes out at eg American Athlete now!
This Is probably the best Remix i’ve heard this month. WOW.
I’ve had it on my ipod all day whilst shopping for kicks. Genius.
@ Lillica! ME TOO! I cant stop listening! Shit is so nice, who cares that it’s not the speaker ripping banger that everyone expected. you ain’t always at the club. shit.
check the sample toward the end:
human league - mirror man
lets just say justice should stick with there own music rather than remix’s
See that’s what happens when you paly in a disco cover band ,french, use a Juno , and are compared to D.P.
I’m feeling the SOFT ROCK (ala 1972-83) revival VIA Jusitce . More power to you dirty french men !!!
Great remix! i enjoy it big times… thx for the post!
Marc Stone played this remix @ Gatecrasher, Nottingham whilst supporting Digitalism
