For the past fifteen years Argentinian-born, Barcelona-based producer Juan Pablo Pfirter has been pushing a sound by turns steely, dark and uplifting, true to the founding principles of the techno tetramorph but eager to throw his own vanguard, personal touch into the mix.

From the early days onward, whether expressing himself via DJing, producing or as a label owner, Pfirter has worked his magic with focus and style, gracing the likes of CLR, Figure, Mord and Stroboscopic Artefacts with choice singles whilst headlining some of the most respected electronic music bastions and events including Berghain, Tresor, Concrete, Awakenings and Time Warp. Ever since he embarked on his first European tour back in 2005, Juan Pablo has worked tirelessly at shaping one of the most idiosyncratic sounds in contemporary electronic music. It’s a sound which combines the heavy thump of stadium-sized kicks with textured organic relief and hypnotic sub-bass motifs a thousand listens couldn’t diminish.

2006 saw the birth of Pfirter Own imprint, MindTrip, which has become one of the brightest beacons in the ever-changing techno landscape.The label serves as both a vessel for his own output and that of his close friends and collaborators, including luminaries such as Jonas Kopp, Stanislav Tolkachev, Dold, Kashpitzky, Oliver Rosemann and Flug. In parallel, MindTrip has also flourished through its monthly podcast series, welcoming the likes of Antigone, The Lady Machine, TWR72, Nørbak, Jeroen Search and more exciting, singular artists, all invited to present an session of music that captures the spirit and values of MindTrip.

Résilience Podcast 021 - Pfirter

Iniciamos el año bien respaldados, dejando caer el proyecto incisivo de PWCCA (Live) desde Madrid España. El jefe de Hardtools records nos conduce por medio de su arsenal con un viaje elegantemente sombrío, atmósferas rigurosas y un ambiente denso que rompe la pista de baile. 

Un artista que lleva desde 1995 sumergido y trabajando en lo mas underground del techno, quien empieza a lanzar sus primeras producciones desde el 96', con un trabajo constante, que le ha permitido abrirse paso hasta ganarse el respeto en la escena mas subterránea de España. 

Son muchos los sellos importantes que respaldan su música, por mencionar algunos: Pole Group, Granular Recordings, Injected Poison entre otros...

Abrimos este 2024 con un Live serio y potente, esperamos que lo disfruten y se conecten de nuevo con nosotros a lo largo de esta nueva temporada.

Cisco Ferreira, known as 'The Advent,' is a London-based pioneer in Techno. His journey began with the discovery of Acid House in London clubs, shaping his commitment to leaving a lasting impact on electronic music. As a seasoned musician and sound designer, Ferreira, in his own words, has been in the game for years and isn't going anywhere.

Fresh out of college, he immersed himself in the world of sound as an assistant sound engineer, recording for prominent artists across various genres. His encounter with the acid label 'Jack Trax' fueled collaborations with influential figures in the music scene, leading to the release of his first EPs on R&S and Fragile.

In 1994, Ferreira, alongside Colin McBean, signed a significant record deal, setting a global standard for high-quality underground Electro and Techno as The Advent and 'G Flame (Cisco) and Mr G.' Today, The Advent remains a solo project, captivating audiences worldwide with its distinctive, raw, and energetic sound.
