Bringing Back Some Justice

It's been a while since I listened to Justice's Cross album all the way through, which I've just done while cooking, and I kind of forgot how good it is. My favorite rediscovery, though, is how much I like "DVNO." Like so many good dance anthems, it's repetitive, but not in a bad way, and I think a lot of people overlooked it since songs like "D.A.N.C.E." and "Phantom" got all the attention. The beat just pounds you all the way to 1:40 or so, when it drops out and you get the short a cappella. And I love the thumping, funky bass that comes in toward the end.
To go along with it, here's my favorite of the myriad remixes of "D.A.N.C.E" floating around out there. I feel like it stays very true to Justice's sound and it's really kicking. The remixers, Your Dirty Habit, are rocking out of North Carolina and just put out an EP of their remixes that you can pick up on Beatport, and you can check out other remixes of Justice there, too.

No, you're thinking of 'Stress,' which loses a lot without the video. I'm not the biggest fan of it on its own.
