With his new album entitled Warm Up, Étienne de Crécy is taking bold steps. The man known for moving people on the dance floor at night has crafted an album meant to be enjoyed at home during the day: the tracks are more chill than clubby, more organic than electronic, warmer, less metallic. Has he gone mad? Rather, it's the world -- still in the throes of Covid, a time ill-suited to resonating beats -- that has led him to create an album for home listening. A shift in tempo. Another hallmark of this project are the guests. For each track, he invited an artist, often from a genre far removed from his own, and asked them to freely write a song based on the instrumental he provided -- his only guiding principle. He thus stepped out of his comfort zone, away from the club and a cube that's carried him high, from a dance floor fired up by his sets, from an album where he would have total control, into a soundscape with deliberately blurred boundaries and extra unpredictability. The lineup he brought together includes an array of surprising personalities, with musical influences spanning from indie-pop to rap. The DJ of heady, dizzying nights reinvents himself as a generous, curious host, sharing his infectious joy. Including contributions from Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz), Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Sports, Frank Leone, Master Peace, Olivia Merilahti (The Dø), Peter Von Poehl, Sugar Pit, Kero Kero Bonito, and Caroline Rose.

Reissue, originally released in 2015. In 2014, while EDM is wreaking havoc in the United States and around the world, Etienne De Crécy decided to return to Super Discount. Super Discount 3, the third part of the series, brings together the first two. If the synthesizers remain in the forefront, faithful to Super Discount 2's techno energy, samples and production give the record a house and funky sound that was the trademark of the first release. This time around Etienne de Crécy collaborated with singers rather than producers. Dave & Pos (De La Soul), Baxter Dury, Tom Burke (Citizens!), Madeline Follin (Cults) and Kilo Kish, but also Alex Gopher and Julien Delfaud all appear on the album. Also features Asher Roth.
