Gaspard Augé has always brilliantly created intense musical universes that are conducive to escape. He is best known for being half of Justice, the duo that synthesized rock and rave in the mid-2000s and whose stage exploits have marked a whole generation.

His first solo album, Escapades, was released this year, and established his reputation as a master of maximalism, as a composer of electronic music whose imaginative tracks take us away from reality. His melodies are dreamlike landscapes and sentimental blasts that evoke an atmosphere of pagan rituals in orbit or a spaghetti western on a space station. But let's be honest, the producer had no desire to write an introspective album. "I've always wanted to make music that wasn't a reflection of everyday life," he says. "Because it's more exciting." 

The last we heard from Augé, he was winning a 2019 Grammy with Justice and Xavier de Rosnay for their album Woman Worldwide, a sort of reworked anthology of their songs from the past decade. "The great thing about the Grammys is that you don't know in advance if you've won or not, so it was a real surprise," Augé says. The deserved recognition of a common work that contributed to change the game. "We just slapped our hands together and said, 'We must have done something right,'" Augé explains. "And we said, now we can close this chapter."
