French electronic music duo Justice is gearing up for a comeback, and they might just repopularize slap bass while they’re at it. A mainstay of jazz and funk music—and famously immortalized in the Seinfeld theme song—the twangy sound of slap bass in popular music has fallen out of favor in recent years. In an interview with Fact Mag, the pair discussed their decision to feature the oft-maligned instrumental style on their recent single “Safe and Sound”.

“There’s something a bit show-offy about slap bass that works in the context of this tune. Where’s the fun in slap bass if it’s not a bit show-off and a bit shred?” Xavier de Rosnay said about “Safe and Sound.” “We thought we could push it quite far because the rest of the song is fairly simple and repetitive. It’s a very cold disco track – the choir and the strings give it warmth and life, but the rest is programmed to sound like a futuristic computer disco.”

According to Gaspard Augé, the decision to feature slap bass on the single came only through their confidence that they could do it properly. “It can go really wrong,” he said. “We’re quite good at taking the time to make things right. It takes a lot of time to record each part, and this is what we like – to confuse the listener about what’s being played and what’s been programmed.”

Justice’s third album Woman is due out on Nov. 18. You can read all the lyrics to Justice’s “Safe and Sound” on Genius now.
