What can you say about Parisian house guru Etienne De Crecy? As one half of Motorbass, this world-class producer introduced us to the myriad delights of French dance music then solidified his reputation by overseeing the sublime
Super Discount compilation--a legend in its own lifetime. You want quality? Well you've come to the right place.
Tempovision is a staggering piece of work, a place where lush, stoner-house meets the more digestible end of electronica. Opener "Relax" says it all--a self-instructive mantra for the uptight and anxious, its warm, expansive chords and feel-good vibe set the tone for a decidedly unhurried affair. De Crecy's forte is the clever amalgamation of supple, jazz-flecked mood pieces with languid, often soulful takes on the house blueprint. "Out of My Hands" pits flatulent Moog over gossamer strings to stunning effect, while the title track's mesmerising blend of 1930s film star glamour and gritty hip-hop nous has to be heard to be believed. The total effect is evocative of tarmac on a hot summer's day: awkwardly fragrant and sticky to the touch. Are you ready to melt? --
