Étienne de Crécy

Étienne de Crécy is a foundational figure in French electronic music, a producer and DJ whose crisp, playful house productions helped define the French touch sound of the 1990s before branching into sharper electro and experimental territory.

Best known for his Superdiscount project, he crafts sleek, sample-heavy tracks that blend cheeky humor with sleek dancefloor precision, as heard on recent cuts like “Hashtag My Ass” and “Night (Cut The Crap).” A veteran of the French house scene, de Crécy sits alongside peers such as Cassius, Daft Punk, and Modjo in the lineage that took filtered disco and house global. He has collaborated with Baxter Dury and Delilah Holliday on the sultry, downcast B.E.D. project, and his work has been remixed by contemporaries including Jean Tonique, Miguel Campbell, and The Beatangers. His influence quietly echoes through later generations of electronic artists while his own output remains restless and forward-facing, never content to rest on classic status.
