EPM Podcast 144 comes from techno and electro legend The Advent. Cisco Ferreira, or ‘The Advent’, can be described in many ways: a musician, a pioneer, a sound designer, one persistent m*therf*cker, a rebel and more. Mostly though, The Advent is known for his interpretation of what we call Techno and Electro. It’s his passion for electro that we pick up here as Cisco brings a 20 tracxk electro jam session featuring the likes of Fleck E.S.C., Kronos Device, Bass Junkie, Plant43, Sub Sonic Force, Boris Divider and The Advent’s own track with Zein Ferreira (the clue’s in the surname) for our own 20 year celebrations.

Ever since young Portuguese Cisco discovered Acid House in the London clubs he frequented, his journey has been about making his mark on the electronic music scene. Or, as he recently put it himself: “I’ve been doing this for quite a few years and I’m not going anywhere.”

Fresh out of college, Cisco’s hunger for sound landed him a job as assistant sound-engineer in several recording studios. There he learned about the art of translating feelings to frequencies, while at the same time recording various high-profile artists from the world of Rock, Pop, Dance and Reggae. When acid label ‘Jack Trax’ moved in next-door, Cisco started recording for the likes of Adonis, Fingers Inc, Marshall Jefferson and Derrick May. These rendezvous sparked the inspiration for his first EPs on R&S and Fragile.

In 1994 Ferreira signed a record deal for 12 EPs and 3 albums together with Colin McBean. This was the beginning of an era during which the duo set a worldwide standard for high quality underground Electro and Techno. They hit the world with a refreshing sound, both as The Advent, and ‘G Flame (Cisco) and Mr G’, the alias Colin is still using. Nowadays The Advent is a solo project, bombarding crowds around the world with its trademark raw, energetic sound.

Continuing to take techno and electro into new realms via his Advent project and Kombination Research label, Cisco is also one of the co-founders of underground virtual club experience ‘Techno-Club’ where EPM also co-host the ‘Purple Room’ on a monthly basis.

EPM podcast #144 - The Advent

The Advent lleva ya unos cuantos años en esto de producir música de clubs. Francisco Ferreira (Cisco) abandonó sus estudios de estilo cuando se encontró trabajando como ingeniero de sonido para nada más y nada menos que Derrick May y Fingers Inc & Adonis. Esto le condujo a participar en las legendarias Jack Trax series. Entre sus propias producciones nos encontramos auténticos clásicos como el Space Opera's y el Cisco Ferreira EP en Fragile Records. 
En 1989 Cisco se juntó a Colin y Keith para formar el Dj trío KCC. Los tres se convirtieron en residentes de las legendarias fiestas Confusión. Estos eventos, que tenían lugar los domingos por la noche, vieron pasar por su cabina a artistas de la talla de Kid Batchelor, Richie Hawtin, Kevin Saunderson, Robert Owens, Terry Hunter o Roger Sánchez. Colin Mc Bean y Cisco Ferreira comenzaron a grabar juntos en 1990, llegando a trabajar como ingenieros de sonido con Fade II Black (a.k.a. Jay Denham ) en Bio Rhythms 2.

 Por su parte, Cisco también ha trabajado con CJ Bolland en The 4th Sign, Mantra, Camarage, Nightbreed y también con Mundo Musique y Darren Price. En 1994 Cisco fichó por Internal Recordings y formó The Advent. Desde entonces este proyecto ha publicado una serie the EPs de electro y de techno absolutamente sobresalientes Elements of Life (1994) representaba a la perfección el sonido de The Advent. Después vino el CD Shaded Elements y luego le siguió su tercer largo New Beginning's en 1997. En 1998 vendría su mix álbum Kombination Phunk en el que prestaban temas Dopplereffect, Luke Slater y Keith Tucker. 

Su relación con la causa electro también daría resultados en su aportación al catálogo de Internacional Deejay Gigoló con Time Trap Technik (Gigoló, 56). En 1999 The Advent decidieron seguir sus carreras por separado. Colin inició su propia aventura discográfica con la creación de Phoenix G Records para recuperar sus viejos alias, G Glame -con su propio sello, Alpha Recordings y Mr. G. Por su parte, Cisco continúa como The Advent y además con su propia plataforma Kombination Research Records aunque no descuida otros sellos como Tresor -de 2002 es su contundente Sketched for life para este mismo sello berlinés-, Rotation Records (el sello de Dave Angel ) y en Synewave Records. Recientemente, Cisco se ha mudado a Lisboa para darle una vida más soleada a su familia -sus orígenes se remontan a la isla de Madeira de donde emigró con sus padres a Inglaterra-. En 2005 vuelve a Tresor para entregar un álbum de estudio titulado Trinity (Tresor). 

Sin centrarse exclusivamente en el hardtechno, que lo ha hecho popular, nos podemos encontrar tanto electro y como el house más sintético a lo largo del LP. No en vano uno de las colaboraciones del álbum es la voz de Paris Da Black Fu (más conocido como Detroit Grand Pubahs ). Encargos de sellos extranjeros que no impiden que siga concentrado en sus producciones para su propio sello Kombination Research Records que mantiene con mimo.

London based Cisco Ferreira, or ‘The Advent’, can be described in many ways: a musician, a pioneer, a sound designer, a steady force, one persistent m*therf*cker, a rebel, an icon, an outsider, a great live artist...

guese Cisco discovered Acid House in the London clubs he frequented, his journey has been about making his mark on the electronic music scene. Or, as he recently put it himself: “I’ve been doing this for quite a few years and I’m not going anywhere.” This sums it up pretty well; you won’t see Ferreira naked, shooting promo videos carrying a dog, or hear him publically worrying about the sincerity of the average EDM jockey. He’s everything about techno you’ve learned to love, without the circus you’ve learned to accept. Fresh out of college, Cisco’s hunger for sound landed him a job as assistant sound-engineer in several recording studios. There he learned about the art of translating feelings to frequencies, while at the same time recording various high prole artists from the world of Rock, Pop, Dance, and Reggae. When acid label ‘Jack Trax’ moved in next-door, Cisco started recording for the likes of Adonis, Fingers Inc, Marshall Jeerson, and Derrick May. These rendezvous sparked the inspiration for his rst EPs on R&S and Fragile. In 1994 Ferreira signed a record deal for 12 EPs and 3 albums together with Colin McBean. This was the beginning of an era during which the duo set a worldwide standard for high quality underground Electro and Techno. They hit the world with a refreshing sound, both as The Advent, and ‘G Flame (Cisco) and Mr G’, the alias Colin is still using.

We're very excited to bring you The Advent's set from Meat Free, recorded at The White Hotel on the 1st April 2022. 

Cisco was originally meant to play for us in August 2021 but Covid put a stop to that; thankfully we were able to fulfil our goal of having him to play for us and it couldn't have gone any better in our honest opinion. 

Crowd noise included for extra vibes :)

#SlamRadio - 376 - The Advent

We are thrilled to announce a mixtape by the one and only @ciscoadvent! While shaping the identity of European Techno from the very early days on The Advent continues to inspire us until now. Just tune in and get lost. And yes, it is that time of the year again!

SPND20 Mixtape by The Advent

DECENNIUM21 - The Advent (Kombination Research, MORD)

We are proud to announce the next edition of our DECENNIUM series, which comes courtesy of one of the most highly esteemed and influential Techno and Electro legends of our time; none other than our good friend and returning guest, Cisco Ferreira aka The Advent (Kombination Research, MORD).

Cisco has been at the forefront of the scene since the early 90's. Fresh out of college, Cisco’s hunger for sound landed him a job as assistant sound-engineer in several recording studios. When acid label ‘Jack Trax’ moved in next-door, Cisco started recording for the likes of Adonis, Fingers Inc, Marshall Jefferson, and Derrick May. These rendezvous sparked the inspiration for his first EPs on R&S and Fragile.

In 1994 Cisco signed a record deal for 12 EPs and 3 albums together with Colin McBean. This was the beginning of an era during which the duo set a worldwide standard for high quality underground Electro and Techno. They hit the world with a refreshing sound, both as The Advent, and ‘G Flame (Cisco) and Mr G’, the alias Colin is still using. Nowadays The Advent is a solo project, bombarding crowds around the world with it's trademark raw, energetic sound. A sound that grants him yearly slots at festivals as Nature One, Awakenings and Bonusz, as well as regular shows in clubs such as Berghain and Tresor. The list of releases is huge and ever-growing through some of the most heavyweight labels around, as well as via his own imprint Kombination Research.

After being huge fans of The Advent for many years, in 2019 we were finally able to relish the opportunity to book him to play a live set as part of our collaboration event with CPU Records at FOLD, amongst a lineup that included E.R.P. aka Convextion, Plant43, 96 Back, CPSmith and our residents Annie Hall, Kodah and Osc Kins. His set went down as one of the best live sets we have ever had the pleasure of witnessing and we were proud that this was produced at one of our events and heard by a packed venue on one of best club sound systems in the UK. Cisco has since returned to the Natural Selection front line last year at our 10-year milestone live stream at FOLD, where he was joined by The Fear Ratio (SKAM), 96 Back, Tasha b2b Voicedrone and more.

We feel Cisco has played a big part for Natural Selection over the last couple of years and we are eternally grateful for his support and enthusiasm for what we do. We are ecstatic to have such a titan on our DECENNIUM series with this exclusive set, as lethal as it gets.

DECENNIUM - The Advent (Kombination Research, MORD)

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.
