Beatport recently broke a story accusing Justice of faking their live performances, using the photo above as evidence. As you can clearly see from the close up below, the MIDI controller Gaspard is tinkering with is unplugged.
Justice appear to be taking the accusation in stride, going so far as to post the photo in question as their profile pic on MySpace. Gaspard responded to Beatport's claim, saying that the controller had only momentarily come unplugged, which is why he looks so confused in the photo.
His story seems to have some backing. One of the many commentators on Beatport's story is a photographer who was present on the night of said-fakery. He posted the image below, in which Gaspard appears to be plugging in the controller.
Beatport also features another story citing an interview with Justice in which the duo admits to not clearing hundreds of samples used on their debut album, †, although no one besides a handful of lupine record execs gives a fuck about that. Rather, this begs the question: is Beatport really just hating on Justice?
There will always be haters
ReplyDeleteI like the name "Gaspard". It reminds me of Beauty and the Beast for some reason...
ReplyDeleteThe phonies! "Acting" confused when their "equipment" became "unplugged." There are no more positive role models.
ReplyDeleteOlek: After that comment, I don't think there are any quotation marks left either.
ReplyDeleteYacki: For some reason I feel like Gaspard's 'stache may be reminding you of the mustached clock from Beauty and the Beast.
ReplyDeletearv, like how i fixed your cross?
ReplyDeleteand i think that's an awesome comparison to beauty and the beast

Yes, thank you for the cross. Like I said, I really have to learn how to do that.
