A few months ao you might of remembered that we posted DAFT PUNK’s pyramid pictures showcasing their live gear set up.  Well thanks to the people over at Create Digital Music and the amazing eye of photographer Henrique Kurtz for these pictures of live set up.

3 x Jazzmutant Lemur (THREE LEMURS. It’s good to be rich, I guess.)
2 x MacBook Pro (one is probably backup)
1 x Korg MicroKorg
1 x Korg ZERO8 Live Control
1 x Pioneer DJM800
Software: Ableton Live

Get up close and personal with the laptop rig itself. Okay, you may not be able to afford three Lemurs, but this wouldn’t be hard to scale to other setups. And there’s plenty here to make a “live PA” performance really a performance.

So Justice have decided to become clones of Soulwax again! I haven’t seen the Soulwax Docu yet! Need to purchase it. But either way they both look interesting! What arre your thoughts!
