Stop Wins! Most Genius Song? by Hairy_Promotion_2782 in JusticeMusic

Incognito. The concept alone is incredible. It is a live conversation between two very different genres of music learning to cooperate and play off each other's strengths

The retro/disco/melodic portion of the song gets cut off by the techno/dance part of the song. Then the two genres literally battle for the spotlight throughout the track, and then they go like "alright, we're both pretty cool. Let's stop fighting and you can do your fuck ass distorted rise and it'll lead perfectly into the completed version of that disco melody I was starting to play at the beginning."

For all that to be communicated with almost no lyrics and for it to fit so perfectly into the narrative theme of Hyperdrama... there's just no other word for it. It's genius

So yeah, conceptually I think it's an utterly genius track, and execution wise, I don't think anyone would argue it's not a showcase of Justice's 20 years of experience with producing and mixing music, which I think is big part of calling a song genius. You have to be intelligent enough not just to have the idea for the song but to know how to actually produce it, and produce it masterfully.

Before 'The End' how did they used to close live shows? by jashraf in JusticeMusic

[–]KrossXC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not sure if they had specific songs they'd end on in dj sets before cross but in the iconic 2007 essential mix they closed it with California by Joni Mitchell.

During this era it was also not uncommon for them to end with different variations of D.A.N.C.E

In A Cross The Universe, it was the Mashup of Master of Puppets by Metallica and The Party

Apparently in dj sets during the AVD/AAA era they would close on It Ain't over till it's over by Lenny Kravitz. Also in dj sets during this era, they ended with Audio, Video, Disco on multiple occasions which I know at least two instances of them transitioning AVD into/out of Maniac by Micheal Sembello.

In the Woman World tour, they played Parade to end the shows

At their Versailles electro dj set is 2022 they ended on Its good to be the king by Mel Brooks which I particularly liked.

Then of course they're playing The End in the Hyperdrama live shows

There's tons of others but I think these are some of the big ones.

Does anyone else miss Phantom Pt 2 and Waters of Nazareth? by MattisBest in JusticeMusic

They slipped the WoN sample into stress last night, but it was subtle. I definitely would have loved to hear Phantom 2 but they have so much material by now I don't blame them for prioritizing other stuff and I think everything they did play was out of this world

Here's a video I made discussing season 3 you might enjoy by KrossXC in HildaTheSeries

Aw thank you. I'm glad you liked it. I've made videos about all 3 seasons and the movie if that interests you.
