OAKLAND – Two of the most prominent electronic musicians of this generation have collaborated to present a one-of-a-kind tour. After completing the Hyperdrama tour, Justice returns to present yet another polished high-production show. Collaborating with producer/artist Kaytranada, who recently released his album AIN'T NO DAMN WAY!, the two have defined what it means to bring top-tier talent together in one concert.

Sam Gellaitry kicked off the night with funk and disco vibes that filled the dancefloor. He played hits including START UP A RUMOR, Picture in My Mind, and NEW WAVE while a purple light illuminated his CDJs. Sam provides a new, refreshing feel to his disco DJ sets, performing collective hits like his viral song "Assumptions," which got everyone dancing.

Kaytranada took the stage next, stunning the crowd with a 360-degree setup placed in the center of the Oakland Arena. As the lights dimmed, a deep blue glow illuminated his CDJs, and the energy in the arena instantly surged. He kicked off his set with favorites from TIMELESS and Bubba, including "Drip Sweat," "Hold On," and "Need It." The production was on another level with lights pulsed across the arena, synced perfectly with every beat. Suddenly, the stage began to rise, lifting Kaytranada more than 50 feet into the air as he continued his set. The entire arena transformed into one massive dance floor, filled with smoke, light beams, and pure movement.

He kept the crowd on its feet with remixes like Rihanna's "Kiss It Better" and Janet Jackson's "If." Throughout the performance, his energy was infectious raising his wine glass, smiling, and thanking the crowd for their energy. He closed with songs from his latest album AIN'T NO DAMN WAY!, including "SHINE YOUR LIGHT FOR WE" and "SPACE INVADER," as the arena turned green and the Space Invader graphic played across the screens.

As the audience turned toward the front of the arena, the anticipation for Justice was rising. A series of beeps built into the iconic horns of "Genesis," and two silhouettes emerged as Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay of Justice flashed on stage. The lights burst from behind, revealing the duo with their signature cross glowing bright. They opened with a mashup of tracks from WWW before diving into a seamless blend of classics like "Canon x Love S.O.S." and new songs from Hyperdrama such as "Mannequin Love" and "One Night/All Night." Justice's lighting design once again elevated the experience, delivering a visual as powerful as their sound.

One of the highlights of Justice's set was how effortlessly they mixed songs from past albums with new material, creating smooth, refreshing transitions. Tracks like "Neverender" and "Safe and Sound" flowed into "Love S.O.S." making familiar songs feel completely fresh. The magic of these sets is that you may hear the same track twice, but it will sound completely different because of how it's being mixed.

They closed the night with a reworked version of "D.A.N.C.E.," layered with a Jay-Z sample and transitioning to "Safe and Sound" and "Neverender." The crowd was electric as the duo took their final bow beneath the glowing cross. "The End" from Hyperdrama played as Gaspard and Xavier stepped down from the stage to greet fans, shaking hands and signing autographs, a perfect close to an unforgettable night.
