ETIENNE DE CRECY
Wednesday, December 31 – Los Angeles, CA @ The Standard Downtown 

French Touch producer/DJ and conceptual artist ETIENNE DE CRECY will join Hot Chip, Derrick May and Omar-S at Rhondapolis, A Club Called Rhona’s NYE spectacular happening at The Standard Downtown.  For 2015, De Crecy is reviving his Super Discount series with Super Discount 3 due out on Ultra Music January 19. Making its way into the U.S. market now from the album  is “You” featuring vocals by Madeline Follin (Cults), a sexy track with its bell-like and Moroder-style synths is sure to set late night sets on dark dance floors burning the world over.  Other tracks include “Night (Cut The Crap)” and “Hashtag My Ass” plus contributions from De La Soul’s Pos & Dave on “WTF,” “Smile” with French Touch comrade Alex Gopher, Tom Burke of Kitsune on “Sunset,” American artist Kilo Kish on “Fellow” and U.K. indie rock musician Baxter Dury on “Family.”  For those too young to remember the 90s, ETIENNE DE CRÉCY was the guiding hand behind the albums Super Discount (1997) and Super Discount 2 (2004), featuring contributions from French mainstays Alex Gopher, Air, Cassius and DJ Mehdi. In that collective venture and in his solo work, ETIENNE DE CRÉCY has always rejected the facile, remaining fiercely loyal to old-school house and choosing to extensively explore electronic music’s underground labyrinths rather than tread the beaten paths of commercial success.  Along with Philippe Zdar, future member of Cassius, he also formed the legendary duo Motorbass, whose 1995 album Pansoul was a seminal work of the emergent French Touch, confirming the credentials of French house.
