Zdar would go on to form Cassius, whose self-titled 1999 album is a French touch perennial, while De Crécy would produce the stunning Super Discount project.

He's just released Super Discount 3, a collection of ten tunes including previously released singles "Night (Cut The Crap)," "You," and "Hashtag My Ass"—that feature guest appearances from Pos and Dave from De La Soul, Kilo Kish, Tom Burke of Citizens! and longtime collaborator Alex Gopher, among other notable names.
