Black Asteroid

Black Asteroid – the moniker of Bryan Black, techno producer who cut his teeth as a sound designer and keyboard tech for Prince at Paisley Park Studios and who formed one half of acclaimed duo MOTOR, started Black Asteroid in 2011 with the “Engine EP”. The debut EP was quickly signed to CLR records, became an instant hit, and was a precursor to what soon became known as industrial techno. 2012’s “Black Acid EP” (Electric Deluxe) followed this success and remixes for Depeche Mode and Rick Owens have set a new and uncompromising standard with their otherworldly sounds and shapes. Black Asteroid has brought his explosive DJ and live sets to events as Melkweg for Amsterdam Dance Event, Mysteryland festival, Berghain, Spazio 900 (Rome) , Hyperspace (Budapest) , Ageha, Fabric and many more. The fashion designer Rick Owens picked up on what was happening, and used black's music for his runway shows in Paris. The two quickly became friends and collaborators. In late 2017, Black Asteroid released the highly anticipated debut album‘Thrust’on Last Gang records to critical acclaim. The album features Cold Cave, Zola Jesus, Michele Lamy, and Chris Liebing.
