██▓▓▀▀ ▀▀██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Cristian VogelÆs explorations of music have taken him ██▓▓
██▓▓ far and wide, into some strange sonic territories, ██▓▓
██▓▓ but at the heart of his work is the musical pulse and ██▓▓
██▓▓ philosophical base of techno. CristianÆs influence on ██▓▓
██▓▓ techno û and technoÆs influence on him û has been ██▓▓
██▓▓ such over the past 14-odd years means that, in his ██▓▓
██▓▓ words, ôI am already deep within. In fact, I can't ██▓▓
██▓▓ really see any way that I could get out, if I wanted ██▓▓
██▓▓ to.ö Though many may have higher public profile, ██▓▓
██▓▓ there are very few people on the planet who could ██▓▓
██▓▓ claim to be as tightly and intimately tied into the ██▓▓
██▓▓ social networks, the technologies and the sonic ██▓▓
██▓▓ developments of techno itself. Though his output may ██▓▓
██▓▓ be ever-diversifying - taking in electro-soul with ██▓▓
██▓▓ Super_Collider, pure electronic sound-making as Trurl ██▓▓
██▓▓ & Klaupacius, post-punk with the Chicks On Speed and ██▓▓
██▓▓ many other sounds - techno is and always will be ██▓▓
██▓▓ woven into who he is and what he does. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Like techno itself, Cristian is avowedly ██▓▓
██▓▓ internationalist, acknowledging the importance of ██▓▓
██▓▓ places but refusing to be tied to them. Though many ██▓▓
██▓▓ have tried to use the fact of his South American ██▓▓
██▓▓ birth, or his strong ties with Berlin (and the Tresor ██▓▓
██▓▓ label in particular), to bundle him into particular ██▓▓
██▓▓ movements or sounds, he has always managed to mutate ██▓▓
██▓▓ and escape the confines of othersÆ definitions. Just ██▓▓
██▓▓ as techno is not defined just by its own origins and ██▓▓
██▓▓ outposts in Detroit, Berlin, Glasgow û wherever - but ██▓▓
██▓▓ by the actions of every person across the continents ██▓▓
██▓▓ that is playing it at any given moment, so CristianÆs ██▓▓
██▓▓ life and work are defined by the totality of his ██▓▓
██▓▓ travels and the global reach of his music. ██▓▓
██▓▓ The story of Cristian and his life in techno begins ██▓▓
██▓▓ in a bedsit in the Midlands of the UK, ôwith my mates ██▓▓
██▓▓ and their raver flatmates in Leamington rushing very ██▓▓
██▓▓ very hard to tapes from the Eclipse in Coventry, to ██▓▓
██▓▓ that same acid tape that hadnÆt made sense to me ██▓▓
██▓▓ before, and to all these 12" vinyls these nutters had ██▓▓
██▓▓ in the bedsit... and it all made sense very suddenly ██▓▓
██▓▓ and it was written in light that acid house was so ██▓▓
██▓▓ fucking revolutionary, and that getting high was ██▓▓
██▓▓ something that i was gong to have to get used to, and ██▓▓
██▓▓ that my life was going to be completely amazing and ██▓▓
██▓▓ completely dedicated to that top top buzz of music ██▓▓
██▓▓ that couldn't be played on the TV or Radio 1.ö ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ From then on it was ôclubbing, hooking up with people ██▓▓
██▓▓ that knew a whole lot more than me about DJing, ██▓▓
██▓▓ records, breakbeats, hip hop and just fuckin soaking ██▓▓
██▓▓ it all up, making tracks the whole time on my ██▓▓
██▓▓ Amiga.... I must have written literally thousands of ██▓▓
██▓▓ proto-acid and techno during that period, on 4 ██▓▓
██▓▓ channels of an Amiga." ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Cristian attended û and later taught 20th century ██▓▓
██▓▓ music at - the University of Sussex in Brighton. His ██▓▓
██▓▓ time there coincided with his first releases, his ██▓▓
██▓▓ first international club gigs, the patronage of John ██▓▓
██▓▓ Peel (who invited him to record two sessions for the ██▓▓
██▓▓ show, the broadcast of the first of which caused Cris ██▓▓
██▓▓ to ôswitch on as many radios in the flat as possible ██▓▓
██▓▓ and kind of run from one to the other, gigglingö), ██▓▓
██▓▓ and his general emergence as an established artist. ██▓▓
██▓▓ Yet even as he was being lauded across Europe and ██▓▓
██▓▓ beyond, he was struggling to find a place in his ██▓▓
██▓▓ adopted home townÆs scene, a relationship that would ██▓▓
██▓▓ remain complex for years: ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ ôThere was no cultural infrastructure for an ██▓▓
██▓▓ alternative scene to develop, the infrastructure was ██▓▓
██▓▓ occupied by the boom of commercial dance clubs and ██▓▓
██▓▓ commercial dance music; there werenÆt any spaces ██▓▓
██▓▓ left. At least in the alternative, or independent, ██▓▓
██▓▓ small business environment, there was some kind of ██▓▓
██▓▓ community based infrastructure, cool people with ██▓▓
██▓▓ advice and support networks, like the SubGenius boys ██▓▓
██▓▓ [cult leaders, pranksters and t-shirt artists] Red ██▓▓
██▓▓ Design [who still create CristianÆs artwork] etc. We ██▓▓
██▓▓ were part of that community, and so thats how No ██▓▓
██▓▓ Future managed to be born and survive in Brighton. ██▓▓
██▓▓ Also, on a personal level, I spent the best part of ██▓▓
██▓▓ my 20s in that funky town, and during that time got a ██▓▓
██▓▓ solid grounding in British cool, British fun and ██▓▓
██▓▓ wonderful people.ö ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ The artist collective, No Future (or Erutufon as it ██▓▓
██▓▓ is alternatively known now), certainly did emerge ██▓▓
██▓▓ with Cristian, Emma Sola and Mat Consume at the helm, ██▓▓
██▓▓ and in a tangled and twisted way flourished. Many ██▓▓
██▓▓ connections with friends and collaborators were made ██▓▓
██▓▓ in this time: Trash, Spymania, Dave Tarrida and the ██▓▓
██▓▓ Sativa crew, Neil Landstrumm and Scandinavia ██▓▓
██▓▓ Recordings, CristainÆs long-time friend Si Begg, and ██▓▓
██▓▓ the musicians who were to go on to be his ██▓▓
██▓▓ co-conspirators in Super_Collider (most importantly, ██▓▓
██▓▓ of course, Jamie Lidell, then part of Subhead). Club ██▓▓
██▓▓ nights û successively The Box, Defunkt and Freekin ██▓▓
██▓▓ The Frame û were organized, big names spun records in ██▓▓
██▓▓ little venues, parties were thrown, messy nights and ██▓▓
██▓▓ blurry days passed and a small but tight network of ██▓▓
██▓▓ people witnessed the birth of some incredible music, ██▓▓
██▓▓ including CristianÆs legendary early albums: ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ æBeginning To UnderstandÆ and even more so æAbsolute ██▓▓
██▓▓ TimeÆ reflected CristianÆs experiences on the Euro DJ ██▓▓
██▓▓ circuit, consisting of pummeling club tracks aimed at ██▓▓
██▓▓ ôan imaginary audience, no longer individual people, ██▓▓
██▓▓ but a dark, never-ending throb of psychosexual and ██▓▓
██▓▓ paraphysical beings fuelled by high volume modular ██▓▓
██▓▓ musicàö æBodymappingÆ explored housier textures ██▓▓
██▓▓ (including æScratch And BiteÆ which was picked up and ██▓▓
██▓▓ remixed by Blake Baxter and Joey Beltram), but ██▓▓
██▓▓ following this Cris moved into unrecognisable ██▓▓
██▓▓ territories. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Through æSpecific MomentificÆ, æAll Music Has Come To ██▓▓
██▓▓ An EndÆ and æBusca InvisiblesÆ, Cris got as deep into ██▓▓
██▓▓ his own studio gear as any tech head ever has. His ██▓▓
██▓▓ explorations reflected deep personal changes, and ██▓▓
██▓▓ social changes in the wider scene even as they worked ██▓▓
██▓▓ alone as radical new demonstrations of the ██▓▓
██▓▓ possibilities and complexities of the techno form. ██▓▓
██▓▓ æBusca InvisiblesÆ also marked the first conscious ██▓▓
██▓▓ expression of his Chilean roots, with its Spanish ██▓▓
██▓▓ title and Afro-Cuban and South American rhythms. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Parallel with æBusca InvisiblesÆ, Cristian was ██▓▓
██▓▓ working on Super_ColliderÆs æHead OnÆ with Jamie ██▓▓
██▓▓ Lidell co-producing and singing. The Super_Collider ██▓▓
██▓▓ project was to become perhaps technoÆs only true ██▓▓
██▓▓ ôbandö, and to produce two albums (thus far) of some ██▓▓
██▓▓ of the most perfect meldings of technologies finesse ██▓▓
██▓▓ and power with real human funk ever made, as well as ██▓▓
██▓▓ some legendary live shows with a team of serious ██▓▓
██▓▓ underground musicians. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ The album æSing Sweet SoftwareÆ recorded under the ██▓▓
██▓▓ name Trurl & Klaupacius represents CrisÆs purest ██▓▓
██▓▓ exploration of electronic sound; ôa pure avant-garde ██▓▓
██▓▓ creation, recordings of my more esoteric and surreal ██▓▓
██▓▓ sonic ambiancesà recorded one weekend, when the moon ██▓▓
██▓▓ was right; a pure white heatö, as he puts it. This ██▓▓
██▓▓ was followed by his move to Novamute, and the awesome ██▓▓
██▓▓ æRescate 137Æ which showed his production skills ██▓▓
██▓▓ sharpened even more on a huge variety of rhythms and ██▓▓
██▓▓ styles, incorporating hip hop, avant-garde sounds and ██▓▓
██▓▓ live instruments, but always with a beating techno ██▓▓
██▓▓ heart. The æDungeon MasterÆ double 12ö followed, ôan ██▓▓
██▓▓ important step into the realms of the 'beyond'ö for ██▓▓
██▓▓ his style, mixing snarling bass and pounding ██▓▓
██▓▓ dancefloor techno with the experimentalism of his ██▓▓
██▓▓ previous releases. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Now, settled in Barcelona and working hard on art ██▓▓
██▓▓ projects (notably the 2005 Gilles Jobin dance piece ██▓▓
██▓▓ æSteakhouseÆ for which Cristian has built a brand new ██▓▓
██▓▓ electronic sound manipulation device known as Angus) ██▓▓
██▓▓ and production for other artists, Cristian is ready ██▓▓
██▓▓ to give the world Station 55 on Novamute. A record ██▓▓
██▓▓ built up through a series of collaborative efforts ██▓▓
██▓▓ with local friends and internationally-known artists, ██▓▓
██▓▓ it is shot through with huge enjoyment as much as ██▓▓
██▓▓ with the dark and strange emotions that he has never ██▓▓
██▓▓ been afraid to explore on wax. Though tempos and ██▓▓
██▓▓ moods vary, it is still as much a techno record as ██▓▓
██▓▓ anything in his career, a record which shows his ██▓▓
██▓▓ unflagging dedication to the radicalism of the scene ██▓▓
██▓▓ which started him rushing so many years ago: ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ ôI still love it. The best thing is that now, ██▓▓
██▓▓ post-techno, and post-acid, I know what to look out ██▓▓
██▓▓ for in music ... it's that 'thing' , it's that ██▓▓
██▓▓ alternative mentality, that awareness of the power in ██▓▓
██▓▓ the sound and it's cool that it can be expressed in ██▓▓
██▓▓ rock and guitars and electroacoustic blips and hip ██▓▓
██▓▓ hop and pure production, and all that music that we ██▓▓
██▓▓ carry on rushing to so much. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ öThat revolutionary power is innate in the music, ██▓▓
██▓▓ because it's got a living breathing loud and raucous ██▓▓
██▓▓ community that celebrate it every fucking weekend! ██▓▓
██▓▓ And you know, don't worry, because all that ██▓▓
██▓▓ commercial shit and wack music will never really ██▓▓
██▓▓ dominate, because once you've tasted the essence, and ██▓▓
██▓▓ understood what it's all about, it's so easy to tell ██▓▓
██▓▓ the difference between the authentic and the ██▓▓
██▓▓ plastic.ö ██▓▓
