Coming in to day with a bit of nostalgia. Maybe not as lost as we've stated in the title but this is definitely a mix that seems to have been relegated to the back of a lot of peoples memory.
The so called rejected Fabric mix from Parisian duo Justice was released by the guys themselves back in Christmas of 2007 after the the label/club supposedly told them it was a no go. Whether the rejection was due to licensing issues or simply the fact that Fabric were not expecting such a clever and well thought out expression of what a mix tape should be (this certainly didn't fit the public's idea of a Justice mix at the time) we will probably never no. Either way the mix made for an amazing listen when i heard it for the first time amongst the surrounding sound scape of noisy electro and over the top wobble house that was dominating the clubs of London at the time.
Now the current house hipsters and their deep V'age may snub their noses at anything with Justice in the name but if you have not heard this mix before you are in for a real treat. The selection ranges from some of the greatest disco cuts ever to obscure soundtrack sampling and fromage-esque French pop. And of course there is some guitars in there to keep things in perspective. It is definitely not what some people would expect from the charting Justice we all know and once loved but i think it shows you the talent and ear for DJing that made them the greats they became. I read recently that no one apart from the French actually listen to Justice any more. Well that's not completely true.
Get it on the Soundcloud player below ( A random upload but this one is hard to find these days) and let us know your thoughts.
