Super Discount 3

After five years spent blitzing a string of venues with his legendary Beats N'Cubes show - a lavish installation and a live experience as visually brilliant as it was sonic, leaving clubbers and festival-goers dazed - Legendary French House DJ/producer Etienne de Crécy has revived his 'Super Discount' project, ten years after the last, second opus.

With its massive and haunting bass line, "Hashtag My Ass" revives the spirit of the first 2 Super Discount records, and brings it back to the present.

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 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.

During his 20 year rise to the summit, the French producer has cut some of the world's most influential electronic albums: Pansoul (with Philipe Zdar under the name Motorbass), Super Discount, Tempovision and Super Discount 2. Whether for his live shows, his recordings production or marketing around his projects, Etienne De Crecy has always been considered as a pioneer, thanks to his conceptualized, unique and innovative work.

The project's third chapter forms a connecting link between the first two episodes. Although synthesizers are still in the front line (true to the techno energy of Super Discount 2), the samples and production go to create a more house, funky sound (the trademark of the first volume). This time, Étienne has worked with singers – Baxter Dury, Pos & Dave (De La Soul), Tom Burke (Citizens!), Madeline Follin (Cults) and Kilo Kish all feature on the album – rather than producers, although Alex Gopher and Julien Delfaud contributed and Étienne has already begun the Super Discount 3 Live tour with them – before the album's release!
