Biography

Xavier Dulong de Rosnay[1] was born in 1982,[2] hailing from Seine-et-Marne,[3] although he grew up in Paris "on a diet of 1970s prog-rock and 1980s funk".[4] The son of a Vietnamese-born dentist and a human resources director of a Parisian hospital, he studied graphic design at the École Estienne in Paris,[2] where he also met Thibaut Berland (later known as Breakbot). Berland would later cite de Rosnay for his breakthrough into music.[5]

By 2002, while he was finishing up his studies, he stayed at an apartment at the Boulevard Barbès with fellow graphic designers Gaspard "Gaspirator" Augé (whom he had met at a party)[4] and Bertrand "So Me" de Langeron. With Augé, he formed the electronic duo Justice, together producing their breakout hit "We Are Your Friends" for a remix competition in 2003.[6][7][8] The remix resulted in the group being signed to Ed Banger (who released it) and became a hit in clubs and on the Internet.[9] In 2005, de Rosnay contributed to the bootlegged album Bootleggers with Respect Vol II, alongside Soulwax, DJ Mehdi and Feadz, all under pseudonyms.[10]

Following Justice's successful debut album and tours around the world, the two embarked on their A Cross The Universe tour in North America during March 2008, which de Rosnay said "close[d] the first chapter for Justice."[11] A documentary of the tour showcased their rockstar lifestyle during the tour, although de Rosnay later clarified there were "not all things we approve of." De Rosnay was also briefly arrested after a violent altercation with a fan, although he was let go after police concluded he had acted in self-defense.[12] In April, he collaborated with Midfield General on the track "Disco Sirens."[13] Two years later, he was enlisted by French duo Jamaica to co-produce their album No Problem alongside Peter Franco. Their joint production was praised by The Guardian and Pitchfork.[14][15]
