Biography
Born in Besançon, Franche-Comté, France to a family of industrial labourers, Augé showed interest in fine arts from an early age. His initial career was as a graphic designer, under the pseudonym "Gaspirator". In his work, Augé adopted a retro-futurist style. This caught the attention of French musician Surkin, for whom he designed several album covers. Augé's musical pursuits began with his cousin Théo Vuarnet, under the name "Microloisir". Together, they recorded their tracks at home using whatever basic equipment they had on hand, including a sequencer and computer microphone. Later, Augé met Xavier de Rosnay, with whom he formed the electronic music duo "Justice". The duo was quickly signed to the still-young music label "Ed Banger Records" in 2003, where they are still signed today. Together, Augé and de Rosnay have achieved global success, with multiple world tours and two Grammy Awards (2009 & 2019). In 2021, Augé released his first solo album, Escapades.
