Longtime advocates of sonic terrorism even before banding together as the Advent in 1993, Cisco Ferreira and Colin McBean’s

aka Cisco Ferreira
Longtime advocates of sonic terrorism even before banding together as the Advent in 1993, Cisco Ferreira and Colin McBean’s
assault on conventional techno flourished in part because of abundant glimpses into related styles, from electro and hip-hop
to techno. Soon after leaving school, Ferreira began working as an engineer at Jack Trax Records, a job which enabled him to
glimpse first-hand the work of such auteurs as Derrick May and Marshall Jefferson.
He began recording in 1988 with c.j. bolland as Space Opera (eventually releasing four singles for R&S Records) and also
recorded the first single for Fragile (“Why Don’t You Answer” as himself) before meeting McBean, a top DJ who had worked
with Keith Franklin of Bang the Party as the DJ team KCC. The pair began recording together in 1990; their first activity was
an engineering job for Fade to Black (aka Jay Denham), but later they debuted on vinyl with their first single, recorded for
inclusion on a sampler by Network Records.
The official debut of the Advent came in 1994, just after Ferreira signed to Internal Records (also the home of Orbital). He
convinced McBean to join him in the recording of a series of crucially limited singles, then the debut Advent album Elements of
Life in late 1995. Critics championed the duo’s energetic update of original techno renegades like Derrick May and Kevin
Saunderson, and the Advent followed with the remix album Shaded Elementz one year later.
