DF3 AFTERPARTY (NEW FOR 2022)
Confirmed Lineup:
UNIT BLACK FLIGHT https://unitblackflight.bandcamp.com/
----------------------
An extremely rare live musical set from the ultra-mysterious Bryan Lane, AKA Unit Black Flight. Lane's output is less nostalgic circle-jerk and more global phenomenon (UBF has amassed quite the healthy European following over the years):
"Since he first emerged under his ‘Escape From New York’-inspired alias Unit Black Flight back in 2004, Los Angeles-based electronic producer Bryan Lane has been an elusive character, reappearing every four years or so with a new EP, before seemingly slipping back off into the shadows" - Chris Downton, Cyclic Defrost
"This is Horror Disco at its finest."
"A John Carpenter worship project, especially his LinnDrum period.” - Antoni Maiovvi (founder, Disco Giallo Records)
"Moody, synth-heavy soundtracks to movies that don’t exist" - Diabolique Magazine
DEAD ED https://deaded666.bandcamp.com/releases
----------
A live music performance from resident master of scare-emonies himself, DEAD ED. "Dead Ed creates a sinister synth-ridden hellscape of Carpenter-esque cinematic movements and pulsating, blood-curdling beats."
MORE AFTERPARTY ENTERTAINMENT TBA
*****************
