Friday June 1st! The Sound-Bar debut of Black Asteroid! Obsessed with sound and graphic design, Bryan Black aka Black Asteroid started his music career as a sound designer and keyboard tech for PRINCE at PAISLEY PARK STUDIOS. While at Paisley Park, Bryan learned how to manipulate computers and instruments in ways that could only be learned under the watchful eye of Prince. While working for Prince, Black proceeded to create his own music- some of the most alien techno records released on labels such as Mute and Kompakt. these records caught the ear of MARTIN GORE from DEPECHE MODE. soon after, Bryan was on tour with Depeche Mode with his band MOTOR, and recording songs with Martin Gore at his home in Santa Barbara. In 2011 after years of recording and touring with MOTOR, Bryan wrote "Engine 1" to start a new chapter- returning to his techno roots in the boldest possible way. approaching techno from a completely different place, black asteroid set about making techno from a new perspective. the first EP "Engine" was immediately signed to CLR records, became an instant hit, and was a precursor to what soon became known as industrial techno. 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. their next collaboration comes in the form of the debut album from Black Asteroid, coming in early 2017 on Last Gang records.
