Black Devil Disco Club

Legendary Parisian disco pioneer and producer, Black Devil Disco Club is back and will share a new single via UK independent imprint Lo Recordings on the 4th of November 2023. 

‘L Mer Sur L’enfer’ was inspired by Salvador Dali’s infamous Vision Of Hell piece and will be the first hint of what to expect from the French musical innovators forthcoming new album which is due on the 1st of December. 

‘Etincelles’, which translates as ‘sparks’ in English, features six brand new tracks and is the follow up to 2020’s ‘Lucifer Is A Flower’. A truly future perfect and infectious collection of electronic sounds and beats, the album will be digitally available and released on limited edition coloured vinyl with artwork designed by the award winning Non Format team.  

“I wrote these six new pieces with simple French words that a student learning French can understand. It is always intended for fanciful dances and musical fantasies”  - Bernard Fevre 

With a story as deep and strange as the music itself, Black Devil is the alter ego of Bernard Fevre, a French composer of electronic library music with a highly sought after back catalogue that includes the magnificent ‘Strange World Of Bernard Fevre’. 

Having grown up and worked in Paris, it was the African clubs and rhythms in the city that inspired him to make his celebrated debut album ‘Black Devil Disco Club’ with only a small arsenal of electronic keyboards, a vocoder and looped conga drums. One of the most enigmatic electronic masterpieces ever made, the record was so ahead of it’s time that no one could believe it was made in 1977 on it’s release in ‘78.  When it was re- issued in 2004 on the Rephlex label many thought it was a hoax and that the music was made by Aphex Twin or Luke Vibert but when Lo Recordings put out the ‘28 After’ album in 2006, the truth was finally revealed.
