Advent – A coming, or an arrival, a coming into being or use. 

Quite an appropriate name for Cisco Ferreira, a man who has played a big part in the creation and development of Techno from the very beginning of this genre’s history. Indeed, his Techno CV is the stuff of legend. Cisco was producing Techno and performing live Techno shows years before the rest of the world had even heard of the genre. He released his first track in 1988, was a pioneer of the Live PA (or Live Public Address – performing Techno live in front of an audience using electronic music gear), and, if all that wasn’t enough, he even worked as the sound engineer on some of Derrick May’s, Adonis & Fingers Inc’s recording sessions! 

The list goes on, and so does Cisco. Unlike other Techno pioneers from the early years, Cisco continues to produce with as much passion and frequency as he did back in the day. His releases on Labels Like Tresor, Rotation, Electrix, Kanzleramt, Dj Gigolos, Pure Plastic, Synewave plus many more is just another example of his ongoing pursuit to keep making music and pushing Techno to new boundaries. 

Cisco was born to Portuguese parents on the island of Madeira (Portugal). His family moved to London (1975) when he was five years old, setting the stage for his musical career. While at Paddington College (1986) in West London, he studied sound engineering and secured a job after graduation as an assistant sound engineer at ZOLOU Then later WALL Studios.  

At this period is when he really started to learn about Sound & Production, his 1st main recording sessions as an engineer were rock & “Inde” based bands & the studio owners being in successful rock bands. Matt Dangerfield & John Payne “ASIA” this 1st step was a start in learning about balancing & mixing down the rock way, which had a lot of intense & Raw energy especially on drums & Guitars.. 

Other bands Cisco did sessions for: P.I.L. (John Lydon - sex pistols) – Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) – That petrol emotion. Then Later Pop, Dance, Soul & reggae groups like: Wild Bunch (Nelly hopper & Massive Attack) – Marco Pirroni (Adam & the ants) - Maxi Priest – Sly Dunbar (Sly & Robbie) – Loose Ends – Cheryl Lynn… 

1987 Cisco began going to clubs and learning about this new thing called Acid House, which was spreading like crazy throughout London’s underground scene, culminating in the famous “Summer of Love” in 1988, the genre’s golden period. 

Around this time, a record label called, Jack Trax, “One of the 1st to release Acid House, House & techno in UK” moved in next door and began using the same studio for recording sessions, with Cisco as the engineer working with Fingers Inc, Adonis, Marshall Jefferson & Derrick May. Cisco released his first record in 1988 on Ferrari records (R&S records) Then later “Cisco Ferreira” EP on Fragile. 

His first big break came in 1994, when he and fellow Londonite Colin McBean (a.k.a. Mr. G) were brought on by Internal Records to help co-produce a group called Salt Tank. A record contract with Internal/FFRR soon followed, committing The Advent to 12 EP’s and 3 albums.

Today, The Advent goes on just as Cisco Ferreira. While he has had a long history with tons of accomplishments to hang his hat on, he continues to make history. The Advent is fulfilling Cisco’s vision as much as ever. He is busy touring as both a DJ and a live performer, producing for numerous labels, and running his own Techno imprint, Kombination Research. 

As Cisco moves forward, striving to fulfill the ambitious goals he has set one can look back at his storied past and see how he has come full circle… The Saga continues.

Bio EN: 

Since the end of 2011, Proudly People is the duo founded by Gabriele di Natale and Antonio Cosentino. That faraway October 15th, they were brought together by the common will to forge a musical identity that proudly gave to alternative music their personal taste. 
Since then, Proudly People project aims to uniqueness through personal style, basing its research on creating sounds to be fused in tracks plenty of groove and resolute rhythmic patterns, and by performing for hot dancefloors.

Productions genre ranges from techno to deep tech/house, with contaminated and dense style that is winning over lots of labels, for an impressive catalogue of tracks, EPs and remixes published on digital and vinyl supports, on dedicated projects, compilations and V.A.’s. 
Among the many labels that supported Proudly People there are the Americans Inmotion Music, Little Helpers and Serkal, the Londoners Art of dark and Magna Carta, hot parties promoter at different locations in London and with summer residency at Sankeys Ibiza, the Italians Kina Music, Etruria Beat and Moan, all of them devoted to worldwide talents research and representation in underground environment. 

The dancefloor is natural environment to Proudly People. From the best Milanese and Italian stages, by performing in successful clubs and after hours, to artistic residency obtained since 2014 at Sankeys Ibiza with Magna Carta, the duo express itself through steady intensity DJ sets. By creating breath-taking soundscapes, balanced between delicate harmonies, dense rhythmical loops and fat basses, the peculiar sound is bringing Proudly People in several different contexts, from Europe to USA, and all around the globe. 

The reason that still brings together Gabriele e Antonio is the same vision of the beginnings: to grow up, to stand out and have fun through the sound, proudly.

Bio ITA:

Proudly People è il duo formato da Gabriele di Natale e Antonio Cosentino, sul finire del 2011. A unirli, quel lontano 15 ottobre, fu la comune voglia di forgiare un’identità sonora che desse il proprio gusto alla musica alternativa, orgogliosamente. 
Da allora, Proudly People mira all’unicità attraverso un sound personale, basando la propria ricerca sulla creazione di suoni da fondere in tracce cariche di groove e pattern ritmici decisi, ed esibendosi in dj set mozzafiato per dancefloor bollenti.

Il genere delle produzioni spazia dalla techno alla deep tech/house, con stile contaminato e sostanzioso che sta conquistando molte label, per un catalogo davvero massiccio di tracce, EPs e remix pubblicati in digitale e su vinili in progetti dedicati e come parte di compilation e V.A. 
Tra le molte label che hanno supportato Proudly People ci sono le americane Inmotion Music, Little Helpers e Serkal, le londinesi Art of dark e Magna Carta, promoter di feste incandescenti in varie location a Londra e con residenza estiva al Sankeys di Ibiza, le italiane Kina Music, Etruria Beat e Moan, tutte dedicate alla ricerca e rappresentazione di talenti mondiali in ambito underground. 

Il dancefloor è habitat naturale per Proudly People. Dai migliori palcoscenici milanesi e italiani, esibendosi in club e after hours di successo, alla residenza artistica ottenuta dal 2014 al Sankeys di Ibiza con Magna Carta, il duo si esprime in dj set di intensità costante. Il sound personale che crea panorami sonori equilibrati tra armonie delicate, loop dai ritmi serrati e bassi gonfi, li sta portando dall’Europa agli USA, e in giro per il globo, in contesti diversi.

Ciò che continua a tenere Gabriele e Antonio uniti nel progetto musicale Proudly People è la stessa visione che li fece incontrare: crescere, distinguersi e divertirsi attraverso il sound, orgogliosamente.
