The hottest French electronica duo since Daft Punk, Justice caught our attention when they butted heads with Simian Mobile Disco on ‘We Are Your Friends’ and have held us ever since. They’ve just released a second album, Audio, Video, Disco (see review, page 85) – and we have three copies to be won.
WIN JOHN FOXX & THE MATHS ALBUMS Not resting on his laurels as an electro pioneer and frontman of Ultravox, John Foxx recently collaborated with synth collector Benge on Interplay, an album that came out to critical adulation earlier this year. Now a new, bonus version is being released (see review, page 85), and Foxx and Benge are on tour, stopping at the Arches, Glasgow on Sun 23 Oct. We have three copies of Interplay to give away.
