"Basement Loves music is a lush landscape of sawing synths, funky basses and sweeping arps blended together with old pieces of disco tunes, mechanical drums and reverberated vocals."
- French Toast Blog: https://ftoastblog.wordpress.com/tag/basement-love/

"With inspiration for oldies disco, nu disco and slow house, his work represents the expected slow disco movement yet in the most unexpectedly striking way."

Biography :

End of the year 90, beginning of the year 2000, France manages to attract the international press thanks to a bunch of young particularly inspired electro producers which are to release federator tubes. Inspired by house music, while drawing its roots in funk and disco music, it gives birth to many callings : a new generation of kids who know their Cassius, their Daft Punk, and their Alan Braxe by heart.
 
Frenchman Thony Ritz takes history where these glorious elders left it. 
Based in Vernon, as a teenager he discovers the filtered house music and the samples of this movement, and sees them as a true revelation. 
Influenced by funk music, disco music and Jean Michel Jarre, he has listened to since his childhood, he produces his first pieces at the age of 10 with a binary synthetizer and records his first tracks on Amiga trying to imitate the author of Oxygene. 
His beginning as a DJ in the Parisian region at the age of 18 (where he gets venues by daring to propose his services in nightclubs) confirms his instinct...the dancefloor is his calling. 

The revolution of myspace will play in his favour. Hundreds of thousands of sights will enable him to make the buzz on house music forums. Discovered on the platform by "My Major Company", he joins the participative label which will offer him a chance. In February 2009, he indeed reaches the 70.000 euros thanks to 952 producers who believe in him. He impose himself as the first electro artist produced by crowdfunding system.

 Consecration of work! After a well noticed maxi single (appropriately named “High Future”), Thony releases his first album "Night City". Mixing the French touch’s hedonism of the first period (Crydamoure, the Knight Club) with saturated sounds of the second wave (Ed Banger, Kitsuné), he succeeds to reconcile the popular mainstream techno beats and the more underground and aesthetic electro sounds of the 80′s.

Graduated from Abbey Road Institutes Paris in 2019, he spent this year learning in one of the biggest studios in France and working on his new album.

Ten years ago, ‘We Are Your Friends’ reached our ears and pushed Justice to the front of the scene, a young French duo signed by Pedro Winter on the label he had just created: Ed Banger Records. The record that followed,✝, was an album of condensed jerky electro, of disco reminiscences and heavy metal energy, with unstoppable tunes like ‘D.A.N.C.E’, ‘Stress’ and ‘Phantom’, and its videos, allowed Justice to follow the 90’s French Touch and its filtered disco loop. 

Since the release of their debut album in 2007, Justice has been tirelessly touring the world by bus, road festival to festival and concerts all over throughout the planet. Since their first tour, the band developed a powerful stage design that they polished and magnified throughout the years and the gigs. The wall of vintage Marshall amps front of the stage, an imposing cross, impressive light shows, and the sound of Justice totally revisited for the live shows.
