F1 TRACKS: Listen to Gaspard Auge's takeover ahead of the French Grand Prix

As one of the founding members of Justice, Gaspard Auge is at the forefront of the French electronic music scene. He takes over the F1 Tracks playlist, and gives an insight into his love for Formula 1 ahead of the race this weekend at Paul Ricard.

After a long successful career with Justice, which included a Grammy nomination for their debut album ‘Cross’, Auge has decided to branch out and recently released a solo album, Escapades. Featuring singles such as Force Majeure and Hey! the album has already gained a cult following, with influences from many different music genres incorporated by the producer.

This week Auge takes over the F1 Tracks playlist to get you in the party mood for the first leg of this European triple header, including a diverse mix of tracks from the likes of Idris Muhammad, Genesis and Kano.
