Ever since the mid 90s Cisco Ferreira’s name has been synonymous with ‘The Advent’. Mostly, The Advent is known for his interpretation of what we call techno. 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. 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. A sound that grants him yearly slots at festivals such as Nature One, Awakenings and Bonusz, as well as regular shows in clubs as Berghain and Tresor in Berlin, Lehmann in Stuttgart, and Madrid’s Fabrik.

With other numerous labels also touched by Cisco’s trademark sound (Drumcode, Synewave, Rotation, DJ Gigolos, Kanzleramt, Electrix and Pure Plastic to name a few), we now rightly celebrate the centenary of his own Kombination Research imprint. ‘Collection 100’ delivers 22 tracks of tough techno, frazzled electro and deep underground electronics, mined mostly from the label’s inception and therefore never previously available digitally. And to give you a taste here’s The Advent’s superb mix for the EPM Podcast.
