Cristian Vogel - Black Swan

Cristian Vogel was born in Chile and moved to England in the mid-1970s.He first began working with electronic compositions in the late '80s with the Cabbage Head Collective (working with Si Begg, among others). He attended the University of Sussex, under the tutorship of composers Martin Butler and Jonathan Harvey, and graduated with a degree in 20th Century music, suffusing his techno compositions with influences from musique concrete and other avant-garde styles.In the early '90s, Vogel issued two EPs on Dave Clarke's Magnetic North Records label, the first of which was the underground hit Infra. After further solo EPs and collaborations with emerging UK techno artists such as Russ Gabriel, Neil Landstrumm and Dave Tarrida, Vogel released his debut full-length, Beginning to Understand, in 1994 on Mille Plateaux, and subsequently became the first UK techno artist to be signed to Berlin's Tresor Records. He also started the vinyl-only label Mosquito with Si Begg, on which he released both his own music and other artists'. He is considered to be one of the main founders of the No-Future collective that was active in Brighton during the mid-'90s. In 2001, Vogel moved to Barcelona, where he set up the Erutufon 5 studio, and later Station 55 Electronic Music Studio. He currently lives and works there, managing Station 55 Records and studio.Alongside Jamie Lidell, he formed the group Super Collider, who released two albums. Vogel currently sings and plays guitar in his band project Night of the Brain, while continuing to maintain a presence on the underground techno scene.
