THE ADVENT


The Advent have been involved in the house / techno scene for many years now. Francisco Ferreira kicked his career off in style when not long after leaving school he found himself working as a sound engineer for Jack Trax, engineering for Derrick May, Fingers Inc & Adonis. Cisco's solo releases included the 1988 classic " Space Opera's " The Project on R&S Records, Belgium and the eponymously titled Cisco Ferreira EP on Fragile Records. His other engineering credits includes work with Loose Ends, Bang the Party & Shock Sound System (Ashley Beadle).
Cisco was also involved in collaborations in 1990, with Fade II Black for Bio Rhythms 2 on Network Records. Cisco also co produced with CJ Bolland on The 4th Sign/ Mantra, Camarage, Nightbreed and Live At Universe for R&S Records he has also worked alongside the likes of Mundo Musique
In 1994 Cisco signed to Internal Recordings and formed The Advent. Since then The Advent have released a series of outstanding EP's that have combined the best elements of Electro and Techno, but always generated music with a dance floor edge.

Elements of Life (1994) represented The Advent's sound perfectly and many of the tracks had already been road-tested in their live performances.

Then came Shaded Elements (remix project) and this was followed by the release of the 3rd album New Beginning's (1996) one quote from a magazine said " Prepare to phunk Advent style, to this brain shaking, electro-frying sequel "
The Advent have been causing mass limb gyration and 909 detonation world-wide and whether it's at the hands of a pair of 1210's or during live performance's. The Advent have taken hold of the millennium dance floor and decoded its alien phunk scripture into their own sound system speaker shock blast. This in fact is the New Testament of dance music.

In 1998 came the distinctive mixed album, Kombination Phunk, this was a series of tracks supplied by the likes of Dopplereffect, Luke Slater's Planetary Assault Systems and Joey Beltram.
Cisco is now runs number of labels including Kombination Research & Alpha Recordings. Kombination Research was launched in 97 the mission was to keep it 100% advent style, and after departing from London Records in 97 Cisco wanted to build on the love of music strictly for the underground  masses, after 13 successful releases on Kombination Research the time had come to present a long player with the same idea as shaded elements, this project "Re Creations" will be based on the same idea, introducing new talent from the last 7 years to mix all the past 18 EP's on K.R.
