An
electronic music project formed in
1994 by
Cisco Ferreira and
Colin McBean, who had been working together since 1990. They also recorded as
G Flame & Mr.G. In
1998 McBean decided to concentrate on other projects like his label
Phoenix G, making The Advent a
solo project for Ferreira.
Nowadays The Advent is best known for its hard minimal techno releases on labels such as Tresor. The Past Forward EP on Conform is a good example of Cisco's pounding beats. Other labels The Advent has worked with include Kombination Research, Neue Heimat, Spiel-zeug Schallplatten and Tortured.
