▲ NIGHTFLIGHT: FANCY DRESS HALLOWEEN PARTY WITH BLACK DEVIL DISCO CLUB (LIVE)
This Friday at Button Factory. 10eu with fancy dress!
Nightflight will celebrate the ancient pagan festival of Halloween with a live performance appropriately from cult French electronic artists Black Devil Disco Club. Black Devil aka Bernard Fevre and Jackie Giordano originally formed back in the late 70's. Releasing at the time just a solitary LP of sinister, psychedelic disco music that in many ways sat closed to acts like Joy Division and Giorgio Moroder more than it did with the Bee Gees.
It's juddering electronic rhythms and disembodied vocals presaged the house and techno revolution of the mid 80's and the record became a much sought after rarity on the collector's market. It won the hearts of the likes of Aphex Twin and Luke Vibert, who remixed 'Timing, Forget The Timing' for a series of re-issued 12 inches on Rephlex Records in 2004. Indeed, so auadacious and modern sounding were these 1978 recordings that rumours were rife that The Aphex Twin had
recorded the music himself.
In 2006, another LP, '28 After' has emerged, as well as a remix album called 'Black Devil Dubs', which featured dub versions of the original tracks as well as modern heroes like Prins Thomas and In Flagranti on remix duties. This year they released 'Eight Oh Eight', which showcased a slightly more melancholy feel. They have cemented their new found popularity with today's DJ's and clubbers with high profile live shows for the likes of Fabric in London and Clone Records in Rotterdam, as well as showstealing turns at Manchester's Futuresonic festivities and Barcelona's world renowned Sonar event.
Look out for a special Halloween visual show from Dublin's Kool Lasers, who will be also providing masks for the occasion. Mark Allton and Pablo of Downtownsounds, 52 FUNK & Nightflight are on DJ duties.
We'd like to remind all our patrons that admission is only 10eu for those who dress up.
