Esteban signed Marie et les Garçons, a French new wave band from Lyon, and produced and released their first three-track EP in 1977. He then asked his friend John Cale to produce their second single. "Rebop" was recorded in the Big Apple studio in New York City. The single was released on Rebel records in France in 1978.

Then Esteban joined SPY Records, the label founded by John Cale and Jane Friedman, Patti Smith's manager. Marie et les Garçons' single "Rebop" was then released on SPY records in the US. Rebel Records released a third and last single from the New York, no wave band "Mars" produced by Patti Smith and Jay Dee Daugherty.

In 1978 Esteban left SPY Records to found ZE Records with Michael Zilkha.
