Cristian Vogel is one of the foremost names in dance-based :::::::::
experimental techno, releasing a flood of consistently :::::::::
challenging and unconventional techno solo and in :::::::::
collaboration with such noted artists as Dave Clarke, Neil :::::::::
Landstrumm, and Russ Gabriel. Chilean born, Vogel fled :::::::::
with his family to the U.K. in the early '80s to escape :::::::::
the dictatorial regime of General Pinochet. :::::::::
A childhood spent hacking later combined with an interest :::::::::
in programmable music, which soon branched out to include :::::::::
experimental electronic music, and, eventually, techno. :::::::::
Vogel began experimenting with his own compositions in the :::::::::
late '80s, working with members of the Cabbage Head :::::::::
Collective (which included, among others, Si Begg and :::::::::
members of Germ), whose early self-distributed tape :::::::::
cut-ups contributed much to Vogel's nascent aesthetic. :::::::::
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Vogel's fascination for :::::::::
electronic composition led him in 1992 to study in an :::::::::
academic context, earning a degree in 20th-century music :::::::::
at the University of Sussex in Brighton. Fusing the :::::::::
techniques of earlier Detroit, German, and English :::::::::
innovators with insights gained through active study of :::::::::
composers such as Karlheinz Stockhausen and Brian Eno, the :::::::::
results would often agitate his professors. But Vogel's :::::::::
knack for combining elements of flux and sound collage in :::::::::
a style of music normally concerned with rhythmic :::::::::
conservatism and strict repetition has placed him at the :::::::::
bleeding edge of roots-directed experimental techno. :::::::::
:::::::::
Vogel's most prolific recording period began during the :::::::::
tail end of his academic career, when some of his studio :::::::::
investigations began leaking into the techno underground. :::::::::
Earning the respect of South Shore DJ/musician/record shop :::::::::
manager Luke Slater, Vogel's name soon made it to the ears :::::::::
of minimalist hardcore producer Dave Clarke, resulting in :::::::::
the massive Infra EP, recorded together at the U. of :::::::::
Sussex studio and released on Clarke's Magnetic North :::::::::
label. Vogel followed on the success of Infra with a pair :::::::::
of EPs in collaboration with Russ Gabriel, released on the :::::::::
latter's Ferox and Berlin labels, before landing recording :::::::::
deals with both Force Inc. and Thomas Heckmann's Trope :::::::::
imprint. In 1994, Vogel released his first full-length :::::::::
work, Beginning to Understand, on Force Inc. subsidiary :::::::::
Mille Plateaux, a focused, full-blown application of :::::::::
Vogel's experimental vision to the tropes of dancefloor :::::::::
techno. Close behind came a double-pack on Tresor (Vogel :::::::::
was the first U.K. artist to be courted by the legendary :::::::::
German label) and collaborations with Neil Landstrumm and :::::::::
Si Begg. In addition to his steady DJ activities, Vogel :::::::::
also releases his own and others' material through two :::::::::
personal labels ù Mosquito and Quinine ù and is often :::::::::
called upon as a remixer. In 1999, Vogel returned to :::::::::
British label shores, signing with NovaMute and releasing :::::::::
Rescate 137 in 2000. - Sean Cooper :::::::::

:::: GROUP NFO :::....................::::::.
:::::..
TR has come upon its 2 year anniversary in the mp3scene. We would ::::::
like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who support ::::::
us: all lovers of techno music, all the true heads in the scene that ::::::
make it worth while. 2 years doesn't seem like much, but in this ::::::
short time period TR has risen to a superior level, in both its ::::::
protocol and its quality of releases. We are now well known in the ::::::
mp3scene and vow to maintain our established level of quality ::::::
releases. ::::::
::::::
Another huge shout must go to all the amazing producers ::::::
out there. They are the foundation of what we do. Their work makes ::::::
our lives just that much more pleasant by giving us this great gift ::::::
called music; without them, none of this is even possible. ::::::
::::::
Having said that, our true message is this: the artists we deal with ::::::
are not rock stars. They don't pretend to be 'the man'. They're not ::::::
part of the establishment, the multi-million dollar music business. ::::::
So the only way our scene can stay alive is through undying support ::::::
for the artists and labels. *THIS* is the sole reason we release ::::::
music... ::::::
::::::
So for fuck's sake, if you like what your hear, go to your local ::::::
record shop and purchase a copy of your own. It's your duty! Only ::::::
through this process we can all continue to enjoy techno music to ::::::
the fullest. As far as our releases go, if you can get hold of them, ::::::
be happy and treasure them. Don't start posting to public domains ::::::
or sources!! This will eventually result in a more restricted ::::::
distribution of our releases, possibly even only internal... ::::::
The choice is yours... ::::::
::::::
Thanks guys and gals -- Cheers from TechnoRulez. :::::..
