Black Lucifer

 

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. 

If Disco Club was disco's "dark atmospheric electronic doppleganger", then the same can be said for the Dub here. Dub's dark atmospheric electronic dopplegangers followed by some equally gifted twisted remixed...

Not the Red One, but the Black One

 

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.
