i kinda hate every song justice have released from this album so far, jeez. miserable filters and now this has a parody of the could heaven ever be like this intro except it misses the best part of that intro, where the last guitar notes are lingering in the air as the beat comes in, replacing that with a lovely glitched skip-forward effect that breaks any continuity between the intro and the rest of the song

also laughing at the youtube comment saying "they're leaving disco behind and are back to electric." the best song on their debut album was a sample flip of an instrumental track from the saturday night fever soundtrack! what the gently caress are you talking about!

huh? I mean I got bad news for you if you think "filters" and "parody" of a sample are anything new in french house ..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpjY_-i2S-g <- sampling Change - Miracles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPKjlbXHP3E <- or the legendary 2002 "So Much Love to Give" which some blame for popularizing that synth sound and it creeping into edm mainstream

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3PITulZVSY <- Maxime Singleton - Don't You Love It

french house and sampling (hella tight one at that) go quite hand in hand. daft punk's debut lp homework, listen to the track called "Teachers" - it's literally all shout-outs to the originators of that kind of sound, also heavy-sampling based like Dance Mania for instance in the US.

if you listen to Daft Punk's Essential Mix 1997, they do a hell of a lot of live sampling / play over with 909s etc - as well as drop a track called "Ghetto Shout Out" by Parris Mitchell - which is a track which gives nods to all the Chi projects/areas/blocks and clubs, DJs. this clearly shows with what respect they treat their source material. give this set from 1997 (live) a look as well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSgE_m-wjA0 the track that's a chop up of the start of Stevie Wonder's All I Do at 22 minutes itself is a nod imo to Roy Davis Jr. who released a track using that sample just a few months prior to when they played their set.

so all this filter, sampling stuff etc. is integral to the french scene, even though I think it's kind of crappy as to what it has become in terms of sounding pretty predictable. can't take the disco/funk/soul out of french touch producers : p
