There's all sorts of different possible origins for this riff. Seeing that Albarn was mostly into American indie stuff at the time, I figured it could be from Jon Spencer's "Wail" (at 2'00 on this video):

More evidently, "Big Rock Candy Mountain" by The Halo Benders :

Oh, and if some don't know them, dEUS are from Belgium (sorry if you already knew this, I don't know how popular they are out of France at all). This is their best LP, out of a very entertaining discography. You might also try The Ideal Crash for instance, some argue it's their best.
