Cristian Vogel Electronic & Dance 3 Artikel

The Assistenz is the culmination of a four year creative hot streak as vivid as any part of Cristan Vogel’s long career. The trio of dance oor-oriented records formed by 2012’s The Inertials, 2014’s Polyphonic Beings and now The Assistenz are sensual pleasures rst and foremost: a lifetime of study of frequencies and rhythms on the frontline of the world’s clubs has been put into the creation of sounds that interface with the nervous system and emotional re- sponses with extraordinary immediacy.

Cristian Vogel is a long-term innovator in the composition, mixing and performance of electronic music. Spanning over two decades at the vanguard of European electronic music, his work has been acknowledged as an outstanding influence in the fields of composition for stage, club culture and studio. This is the first vinyl release of material from the Archive Remasters Project. The project was successfully crowd-funded in December 2014 which enabled the establishment of Edition Cristian Vogel, an edition handling the restoration and remastering of a large part of Cristian Vogel’s hard-to-find and unreleased productions dating back to the early 90s. The ‘1994 EP’ features a beefed-up remastering of the classic ‘Time’ originally released on his 1995 album ‘Absolute Time’ on Tresor. You will also find a rare proto-minimal track from the vinyl only ‘Artist In Charge of Expert Systems EP’ originally released on Mosquito Records. ‘Scorpio’ and ‘Alien Conversation’ are taken from his debut album originally released on Mille Plateaux in 1994. All tracks were remastered and cut from original DAT tapes in February 2015 by ManMadeMastering.

Producer Cristian Vogel, born in Chile and in raised in Brighton, England, represents the inner turmoil within the history of electronic music and techno. The follow up to ‘The Intertials’ entitled ‘Polyphonic Beings‘ comes in the inimitable Vogel style. ‘Polyphonic Beings’ begins with a surprisingly dub track which twists and turns, the sounds growing darker and more unexpected from track to track, minute by minute. An eerie and unbelievable sound, with all as it should be: every reverb tail, every movement of the fader, every composed note takes the listener piece by piece into Vogel’s own cosmos.
