Exploring the darker side of electro pop, Black Affair is the solo project of Stephen Mason, the guru of the unclassifiable lunatics of the Beta Band. In a similar style to the sombre electro escapades of English dandy Jarvis Cocker (Pulp) with Relaxed Muscle, Stephen Mason works cheap keyboards into electronic beats on top of which he lays quirky and comical texts, creating a particularly spellbinding music, reminiscent of New Order and Kraftwerk.
