Dance music is like a black hole of anonymity and obscurity–in no other genre is it so easy to hide behind a pseudonym, and the number of unknown, undiscovered, long-forgotten or just kept-secret gems is countless. Black Devil Disco Club might be the epitome of this idiosyncrasy. Their first release–as Black Devil–was a 1978 album called Disco Club, released to essentially zero fanfare at the time but eventually cherished by DJs, collectors, and musicians as an essential piece of the electro-disco DNA. Nothing followed. In 1999, the Chemical Brothers sampled it for their landmark album Surrender. In 2004, Aphex Twin's Rephlex label re-released it as a string of 12-inches. Then, out nowhere in 2006, a whole new LP of originals (appropriately titled 28 Later) arrived through France's Lo Recordings, and with it the name of the group's driving force: Bernard Fevre. Fevre is now 64, and has been releasing new BDDC music regularly since then. His forthcoming album, DUB, is a complete reworking of 2008's Eight Oh Eight (this guy, with the names), and judging from the propulsive, razor-sharp "Sorrow Dub," is less spacey than its title would imply.
