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.[1] The group's 1978 debut album, Disco Club was unearthed by Rephlex and rereleased in 2006. Many doubted the authenticity of the record, due to its futuristic sound.[2]

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.
