Justice frequently sample Boney M, a disco/R&B/reggae group founded in the 70s. In their album 'Cross' they also use a direct sample from a Britney Spears song in multiple tracks, which when bricolaged with their own music and other external samples creates a whole new text: electronica house/alternative dance/nu disco music. Other seemingly bizarre samples are included in their tracks, such as an Apple sound effect and a soundtrack from the 70s dance film 'Saturday Night Fever'.
In total, the genres used in this small selection of their tracks are:
- pop
- electronic
- hip hop/rap
- soul/funk
- disco
- classical
- film music
- other (tech sound effects)
- R&B
- rock
