Eight Oh Eight

Originally released in 1978, Black Devil’s ‘Disco Club’ was an extremely rare disco masterpiece, an epic journey into the deepest electronic disco that has been given a new life by record collectors and lovers of Italo and Cosmic disco sounds alike. The record is credited to Joachim Sherylee and Junior Claristidge, pseudonyms of two French library writers Bernard Fevre and Jacky Giordano and is rightly hailed as extremely important to the rise of the acid house movement and Italo Disco. Original copies are the holy grail of many a crate diggers collection.

Then 28 years later ’28 After’ followed updating and expanding the Black Devil sound. i-D likened it to ‘Lindstrom and Prins Thomas on very evil acid’ whilst Dazed & Confused declared ‘iItalo house archivists will chew their faces off for a copy of this astounding record.’ Championed by lovers of the Nu Cosmic Disco sound such as Prins Thomas, Lindstrom and Luke Vibert as well as Italo Disco masters like I-f, Alden Tyrell, DJ Hell and Alexander Robotnick, Black Devil now unleash the long-awaited final piece to their future disco legacy.
