Étienne de Crécy
French DJ and record producer
Étienne Bernard Marie de Crécy (French pronunciation: [etjɛn bɛʁnaʁ maʁi də kʁesi]; born 25 February 1969) is a French DJ and producer who produces electronic music, primarily house. He has also produced under the names EDC, Superdiscount, Minos Pour Main Basse (Sur La Ville) and Mooloodjee.
Biography
Crécy was born in Lyon, but moved to Versailles from Marseille in the mid-1980s, attending the same Jules Ferry college as Air and Alex Gopher, with whom he later created the Solid label. He then worked in Paris as a sound engineer at studio +XXX ("plus thirty") where he met Philippe Zdar of Cassius, with whom he worked as Motorbass for the album Pansoul, a preview of what would be his first solo album, Super Discount, released in 1996, with Air, Alex Gopher and other French artists on Solid. De Crécy has been involved in various music projects where he worked as a producer.
Releases
Super Discount was de Crécy's first release, including the singles "Tout doit disparaître" ("Everything Must Go") and "Prix Choc" ("Shock Price").
Four years after Super Discount, de Crécy released Tempovision. Unlike Super Discount, Tempovision is a mature album. In de Crécy's opinion it was a blues album, differing from some of his earlier and more recent work.
The Tempovision track "Am I Wrong" used a sample of Millie Jackson's voice singing "Am I wrong to hunger...", from the song "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right".
