Black Devil are an electronic/disco duo who operate under the pseudonyms of Joachim Sherylee and Junior Claristidge. In reality the group comprises Bernard Fevre and Jacky Giordano, two French producers of library music. The group's 1978 debut album, Disco Club was unearthed by Rephlex and rereleased in 2004. Many doubted the authenticity of the record, due to its futuristic sound.

Disco Club

Originally released in 1978, Black Devil's "Disco Club" is an extremely rare disco release. The record is credited to Joachim Sherylee and Junior Claristidge. It was made manually in a recording studio in the suburbs of Paris using synths and occasional tape loops and a drummer, without the aid of MIDI or computers.
