Hailing from Minneapolis, Bryan Black began his career as a sound designer for Prince, forging his production scope and capabilities at the renowned Paisley Park Studios. In 2002 Black relocated to London, teaming up with French musician Olivier Grasset to form Motor—a live fusion of techno and electro that saw the duo quickly signed to Mute Records. The duo have since amassed a string of releases, including four albums ‘Klunk’, ‘Unhuman’, ‘Metal Machine’, and the most recent ‘Man Made Machine’. They have also shared stages with the likes of Daft Punk and Kraftwerk, and supported Depeche Mode in their 2009 worldwide tour.
Realising the duo had strayed far from its techno origins, in early 2011 Black set to work on a new project. The result—Black Asteroid—caught the attention of Chris Liebing, who proceeded to put out his debut effort ‘The Engine EP’ shortly after, to critical acclaim. In Black’s own words ‘The Engine EP’ “was all sweat and adrenaline”, which was followed up by an even higher octane rework of “Engine 1” by Dave Clarke and Mr. Jones.
In 2012 Bryan Black made his blackasteroid debut on Electric Deluxe with ‘Black Acid’—an analogue fashioned EP that made as much an impact audibly as visually, with its uniquely commissioned black on black sleeve design. This was followed by a remix package supporting reinventions of “Black Acid”, “Hydrogen” and “Pressure” from Perc, Alva Noto, Len Faki, Angel Costa and DJ Emerson.
Currently blackasteroid is working on the next EP of original material, whilst touring his new live show and DJing sets on select dates.
