About
Also known as: EDC, Etienne de Crecy, Ettiene De Crecy, Étienne Cressy
Étienne de Crécy is one of the key names behind the French house sound that came out of Versailles, where he went to the same college as Air and Alex Gopher. He later teamed up with them on the Solid label, and before going solo he worked as a sound engineer in Paris and made the album Pansoul with Philippe Zdar as Motorbass. His debut Super Discount arrived in 1997, with tracks like "Tout doit disparaître" and "Prix Choc", and he has kept the Super Discount name going across several sequels since. Then came Tempovision in 2000, which he himself thinks of as a blues album. It gave him "Am I Wrong", built around a sample of Millie Jackson, which climbed into the UK top 50, and its 3D animated videos were directed by his brother Geoffroy. Super Discount 2 went the opposite way, using old analog gear like the TB 303 for twelve club ready tracks named after file sharing programs such as Limewire. More recently he has made B.E.D with Baxter Dury and Delilah Holliday, and Warm Up in 2025, packed with guests including Damon Albarn and Kero Kero Bonito.
