first hit for his name was this.. looks like he's directing music vids now, ie. U2 - Vertigo.

Partizan Entertainment looks to be the production house.

If you guys like French house, you should check out Super Discount 2. Very nice stuff just released by St Etienne de Crecy and some of the Cassius guys.

Super Discount is great.
His remix on the new moby is great even if moby isnt a favourite. He has a very funky disco sound but still a little dirty.

I like french house a lot and Cassius but never really been a fan of Etienne de Crecy. 1999 is an awesome album without a doubt.
When it comes to french house, esp the more funkier, filtered sound i'd definitely recommend anything off of Crydamoure (Le Knight Club, Play Paul, Archigram), Sébastien Léger, Thomas Bangalter, classic Daft Punk (Homework era), and Sedat.

my fav Frenchie sounds these days.. General Electrics:

ok maybe not 100%.. infact he's French-Brit via SF, but who's counting.

eep.. lotsa typos tonight:
"ok maybe not 100% FRENCH..."

good stuff...
on the funkier side, alex gopher.
motorbass/pansoul is an excellent album still sounds fresh. and then on the hip-hop side, la funk mob, jimmy jay...the source comps are great too. I wish I had more music by The Micronauts.
please more french house tips...

Bob Sinclar, DJ Grégory, Martin Solveig, Dj Falcon, and Alan Braxe & Fred Falke are a few more.
