I'm sure that there are people on the list who may know him far better
than me, but Etienne De Crecy is a DJ/producer from France. He runs a
respected French house label called Solid.
I do agree that "Tempovision" does go above the usual house fare, for
sure. I've put the album among my 30 most recommended albums of 2001.
You might do well to pick up a compilation that's on Solid called "Super
Discount." It's one of the best French house compilations I've heard,
and it's compiled by Etienne De Crecy himself.
