Etienne de Crécy
Cité de l'Espace in Toulouse, France for Cercle
Nothing screams "I have a disposable income and a refined palate" quite like raving underneath a literal rocket ship in France. The Cercle crowd is out in full force, dressed like they just stepped off a Parisian runway, desperately trying not to spill their €18 cocktails while doing the mandatory two-step. It’s a spectacular collision of aerospace engineering and French touch snobbery, and it is glorious. The Etienne de Crécy at Cité de l'Espace in Toulouse, France for Cercle set feels like a retro-futuristic disco, blending mechanical precision with infectious French groove.
This Etienne de Crécy live set bops along at a very danceable 125.4 BPM, perfectly pitched for the stylishly aloof. Anchored heavily in the 12A Camelot key, the Rominimal energy arc is a masterclass in funk-driven low-end and heavily filtered synth loops. His mixing style is classic French Touch—choppy, energetic, and completely unafraid to let a massive, sweeping filter do all the heavy lifting. The Etienne de Crécy Cité de l'Espace in Toulouse, France for Cercle tracklist is a mad mix of legendary crate-digger cuts and bizarre commercial curveballs.
Slipping the Cedric Gervais remix of David Guetta's "Baby Don't Hurt Me" next to his own legendary 18-minute opus "Prix choc" is an absolutely chaotic, brilliant flex. Lift-off commences with the bouncy opening track, Bob Ray's "Odissey", immediately getting hips moving. The absolute peak of the stream hits when his own French house classics tear through the Toulouse night. He brings the shuttle back down to earth with the heavy-hitting closing track, Chemical Surf & Breaking Beattz's "Don't Stop", leaving the techno tourists thoroughly starstruck.
