Bio:
Nachtwald is an alias of Dutch cult figure Johnny Hoorneboeg. His music is a dark and experimental take on what he calls "deep-fried electro" and is heavily inspired by the DIY driven legacy of the 1990s/2000s The Hague squat scene (West Coast Sound of Holland) with artists like Legowelt, Rude66, IF etc. Since mid-2024 he has issued the Delete The Internet EP (Roulette Rekordz) and the Call Me Back EP (New York Haunted) under his project name: Nachtwald. Each balancing raw synth energy with eerie minimalism. His tracks like "Hit The Streets" have earned rotation on Dave Clarke’s White Noise and placement in underground European tip compilations.

The music of Synced Voltage is heavily inspired by Detroit electro and techno, electro funk and early Chicago house.

Having been subjected to electronic music since the early 90s,i've listened to many records from the european and dutch electronic music (rave) scene. Due to rave being so new and so promiment in europe it absorbed my musical attention fully. 
In recent years I came to realise that I never really got to understand how the electronic music scene started. In doing my research (what a trip! so many good early music) I started to hear more early detroit electro and techno. With a healthy respect for electronic music being a small producer myself, I listened with educated ears and was impressed by how good, deep and intenful this style of music was and the records that got produced. Hearing so much good music, real electronic music, it led to me creating the alias Synced Voltage. 

As of late 2023 I have started producing electro for the very first time. This sound, this style is from a production standpoint new to me, but yet so understandable and relateable. On here you will hear tracks finding my way as I learn about early electro and finding my own sound.

Don't expect 'one' type of sound. While diving into electro I am also learning about gear that was used back then which inspired me to try and incorporate it for a more authentic classic vibe and see where it leads. 
It's an exciting journey and this account is me sharing that journey with you.

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.

Primarily a visual artist, I have been working with sound as part of my interdisciplinary approach for over three decades. My compositions explore the tensions between body and machine, instinct and structure. Early works are rooted in pre-verbal, archaic vocal expressions and acoustic experimentation, while later pieces evolve into hypnotic machine music at the intersection of noise, abstract hip-hop, techno, and electro. My practice is defined by an experimental attitude, physical presence, and the subversive poetics of noise and rhythm.

Static System is a music project from Hanover, which emerged from more than 15 years of experience as a DJ. Musically, „Electro“ is clearly in the foreground. Artists such as Kraftwerk, Drexciya, Illektrolab, DJ Dijital and AUX88 were just a few of the major musical influences.

In 2021 a serious illness brought the DJ business to a sudden end. Now all energy flows into the production of electronic music in order to be able to live out the fascination with it.
