Biography

It is born in Lyon in 1969, then after having lived a few years in Marseilles it leaves food to Versailles with its family in the middle of the Eighties. He will say of this brutal change: “ I came from a city or the guys give the north wind, and I arrived at Versailles or one tightens the hand of the girls… ”.

In Versailles, it belongs to the Louba group (with Mr. Learn and Pierre-Michel Levallois), formed with buddies of the college Jules Ferry (or one finds at the same time Alex Gopher or the future duet of the group Air). Impassioned music, it becomes Sound engineer to the studio +XXX (More Thirty). During a recording with the Niagara, it meets there Philippe Zdar (future Cassius) who works with MC Solaar in a nearby studio. Together, they discover turnips and the Techno music with beginning of the year 90. After several maxis, they record, in 1996, the disc Pansoul under the name of Motorbass. This disc is regarded as one of the elements founders of the French touch.

Etienne, of dimensioned sound, has creates the label Solid with Pierre-Michel Levallois and Alex Gopher in 1995. He leaves in 1996, a compilation Super Discount gathering pieces recorded by friends (Alex Gopher, Air, Mr. Learn,…) and by itself under different pseudo (the Red She-cat (with Philippe Zdar), Minos for Control (on the City) or Mooloodjee). It is almost about a concept album:

  • the title bars all the small pocket, on Jaune bottom, with a police force pointing out that announcing the balances in the department stores.
  • titles of the pieces: All must disappear , Knock-down price
  • the maxis drawn from the disc bear the name of currencies: $ , £ ,…

Etienne de Crécy will say it: “ Super Discount initially was a plan marketing, a plan of exit. One had said: " one will make four maxis which would be assembled like a puzzle". It was not yet question of music at this time there. ”. But the music follows and the disc receives good criticisms on behalf of the magazines specialized like Mixmag: “All the pieces of this album is absolutely sublimes… it is simple, it does not have a piece there to remove. ”. The disc was sold with 200.000 specimens in the world.

In 2000, it leaves Tempovision , its true first album. This disc is relatively " down tempo" compared to the preceding discs. The clips illustrating the individual exits of the disc will be produced by his/her brother, Geoffroy de Crécy. They are cartoon films 3D, with recurring characters.

Four years later, it returns with Super Discount 2 , but if the small pockets are similar, the yellow bottom became pink, and this time Ci it is Internet which with the honor for the topic of the disc the pieces have names of software of P2P: Soulseek , Bittorent , etc
