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.

We are a  dj/producer team and for the last 20 years we have produced and played techno.  Our record label  ''DarkhouseLTD'' is currently on it's 27th release, and we are very happy to provide you with some of the true underground sound.

<b>NAKEDPILOTZ</b>
The year 2007: 
A warm summer evening in August.
In the course of a surprise goodbye-party for Bernd, Wolfgang and Felix  were responsible for the musical arrangements of the night. Without  further ado a computer and an old 2-Channel Mixer were set up. The NakedPilotz were born.
To that time nobody could imagine something “serious” were to follow  quickly from this one gig. Driven by the passion for electronic music and the magical feeling to  make people dance to the music coming from their “turntables”, various  first steps were made in the following years. Every free minute was used to try and test new ideas, to purchase first equipment, and to read and exchange news amongst one another.
Time went by and in March 2008, after Bernd returned from his year abroad, the three were reunited.
From then on, they almost met daily  in Bernd’s basement to practice and try out new things. It took months until they were able to finally demonstrate their skills for  the first time at the “Technotika und Sonic-Warrior DJ-Contest” on the  28th of August 2008 in the  notorious Vinylbar in Frankfurt am Main. Due to the lack of experience, a 2nd place was the result of months of  work.
This success, however, opened them the doors to several clubs in the  Rhein-Main area. It was not long until their next gig in the „U60311“ followed. Since then they have constantly continued developing their sound.
In search of the  perfect setup they not only altered their equipment several times, but their  sound continues to evolve so that today one can speak of a unique  ”Pilotz-Sound”.
Today they combine a 4-Deck-Play with many live elements into an impulsive  sound, which, together with their distinctive outfits, will guarantee a  special experience.

Since being introduced to electronic music back in the early 90's, David has been hooked. At the age of 15 he started DJing and playing out at local underground events and raves around the Southern California area. You would've found him spinning various styles from house, acid, & techno to hardcore techno.

After years of DJing he then decided to learn to produce his own music, which landed him his first releases on labels such as Monoid, Stimulus, 4 Track & local label Droid Recordings. Since being associated with local event production group Droid Behavior in 2003, you can find him as a resident at the infamous Interface warehouse events as well as a regular producer for Droid Recordings. Over the years his music has gained worldwide attention and onto the playlists of many big players which eventually led him to gigs at some of the worlds biggest clubs including Berghain in Berlin and Fabric in London. He is also now regularly touring all over the world in Australia, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Central & South America, all throughout Europe and the U.S.A.

In early 2011 he started a project called 'Truncate' which focuses on the deeper, and more raw side of techno. His Truncate releases have been gain support from big players such as, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, Chris Liebing, Speedy J, DVS1, Luke Slater, Ben Sims and many more.

With his heavy remix, production and touring schedule there is no slowing down in the near future for David as he continues to shape his own sound, putting Droid Behavior and Los Angeles on the techno map

SR2 is a new solo act techno project started in Berlin, Germany. In a relatively short period of time SR2 began playing at some of Berlin's best known Techno clubs such as Arena, Ava Club, Weekend Club, Kit Kat, Brunnen70, Mein Haus am See and R19 and others through out the world. 

His sounds has a diverse range from deep and melodic to dark and hard. He is known for captivating his crowds by playing carefully selected tracks at the right moments. A techno lover and purist SR2 is always playing hands on and right from the heart. 

HIs well received sets gained repeat appearances at these venues and parties. Often experiencing crowds to be blown away from such embracing and pumping sets from a relatively unheard of name. 
.
A lover of drums SR2 often has a percussive sound with heavy bass lines, hard hitting kicks and insane highhats. When DJing SR2 is never just playing from track to track. He is skilled in using many layers of effects, loops and samples to enhance his hypnotic sound. 

SR2 began his inspiration from regularly attending Berlins world famous and infamous techno clubs. After becoming familiar with some of the best Techno artist in the world. He began to draw inspiration from the artist he loved such as Perc, Jonas Kopp, Markus Suckit, Surgeon, Shifted, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmen, Adam Beyer, Chris Liebing, Tommy Four Seven, Nicole Moudaber, Drumcell, Marcel Fengler, Len Faki and many others. 

After DJing for some years SR2 has decided to launch his career one step forward and start producing his own music. SR2 wanted to grasp a deeper understanding of the technical and theoretical side of producing music and designing sounds. So he completed a course in Electronic Music Production at the well respected SAE institute in Berlin. This knowledge helped him hone in on the specific productions tools he need to bring his inspirations to life. Expect big things to come from SR2.
