In August & again in October 2024 I shared Black Devil Disco Club. Since then they have become favorites to a whole new generation of listeners. I was so overjoyed when I stumbled across this little gem in an off-the-beaten-path second-hand shop that I occasionally frequent that I had to immediately share it here.

When I was restoring some of the lost Meltd0wn in August, I shared Black Devil - Disco Club. Here is the follow-up, Disco Club in Dub.

Zero_ii sez:
Disco Club was a one-off collaboration between French producers Bernard Fevre & Jackie Giordano, who credited themselves respectively as Joachim Sherylee & Junior Claristidge. Originally released on Italy's Out label in 1978, Disco Club became slightly infamous in the disco underground despite its extreme scarcity. Don't let the Disco tag fool you though, this isn't your typical by-the-books, happy-go-lucky type of disco, but rather its dark atmospheric electronic doppleganger.
It was made manually in a recording studio in the suburbs of Paris using synths, occasional tape loops, & a drummer. No midi or computers. According to an interview given by Bernard Fevre in January 2007, Jacky Giordano only financed the recording sessions. His being credited as co-composer was just a deal for recouping his financial investment.
