OK, let's clarify that story we ran on Justice producing the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album yesterday shall we? I say 'clarify' so that it sounds like there was some confusion that needed sorting out, because that's better than telling you the story was completely wrong.
We (and others) said the French duo were down to produce the next long player from Anthony Kiedis et al, and that the boss of Justice's label had said as much. If only we'd read the interview first hand - on the Data Transmission website - and we'd have seen that the story was actually that Ed Banger Records boss Busy P said he would "love to see Justice producing the Red Hot Chili Peppers", not that they were doing it. He added that he knew Kiedis was a fan of the boys, but that nothing had been formally discussed. So, there you go. Consider that, erm, clarified.
In an interview with Mixmag Busy P added that he had personally spoken with Kiedis about Justice, and that's how he knows the RHCP man is a fan, but the conversation was about the producers playing a festival Kiedis was curating. So now we know. He also told Mixmag: "I've been saying for a while that my dream is to see Justice producing albums for other artists like Justin Timberlake or the Chili Peppers". What's that you say? Justice to produce the new Justin Timberlake album, confirmed? Wow, big story.
