As Justice continue serving up brutal French house across North America, the duo's Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosna are unveiling a few remixes of their latest video selection from last year's †, the pounding "DVNO". Australia's Sunshine Brothers have arguably gone furthest with the track, trading fist-pumping aggression for smooved-out r&b synths, a more conventional house bounce, and what sounds like a Junior Boys- or Hot Chip-like attention to sonic detail after Justice's brain-squashing compression/distortion. The vocal, by Mehdi Pinson from Parisian band Scenario Rock, goes through a vocoder-like effect that's somewhere between Justice forebears Daft Punk and the ongoing T-Pain contagion. Justice's de Rosnay has said the title of "DVNO" refers to suburban "clubs where you have to wear like a white shirt to get in." If the Sunshine Brothers remix were a club, it might still be choosy about who it lets in, but it would probably have a stricter anti-douchebag policy. And fancier drinks.
