In the world of techno, few DJs or producers have attained the level of perfection reached by The Advent. A relentless combination of dancefloor energy, pounding basslines and minimal innovations, The Advent has always found itself at the forefront of cutting-edge techno for the last 10 years. The Advent, a.k.a Cisco Ferreira started his career as an engineer for Jack Trax Records in the latter half of 1980. From there he went on to release singles through R&S and the Transmat sub-label Fragile. It's difficult to not be impressed by both the quality and quantity of The Advent's output over the years: Cisco has had releases on Tresor, Gigolo, Internal/FFRR, Rotation, Tortured and, of course, his own label, Kombination Research. As an artist Cisco is equally adept at crafting pumping dancefloor techno as icy, edgy electro -- as his previous vinyl 12" releases have demonstrated. Cisco continues to release high quality tracks, establishing himself in the top ranks of the European Techno scene.

Based in Dublin city, Ireland, Decal (Alan O’Boyle) has been making electronic music since 1993. Originally a duo, Alan and Dennis McNulty released their debut album 'Ultramack 004' on their own Ultramack label in 1994. Since their debut Decal have released an impressive catalogue of music on a whole host of labels including Rotters Golf Club, Planet Mu, Satamile, Ultramack, Trama Industries, Leaf, Law & Auder, Lo Recordings, D1 Recordings and many others.

In 1998, Alan set up his Trama Industries label, primarily to focus Decal’s sound on the electro that had been a feature of the two Ultramack albums and the live shows. The three Decal releases ‘Ble e.p.’, ‘Aquatech’ and ‘Dreaming of Electro She e.p. ’ brought Decal to a whole new audience and set the scene for releases on RGC, Satamile and Mass Transit.With the dancefloor taken care of, Decal returned to the studio to work on what finally became ‘404 Not Found’. The album was released in 2002 on Mike Paradinas Planet Mu label.

January 2003 saw the departure of Dennis to pursue his work in sound art leaving Alan at the helm. The following six months saw the slimmed down Decal release the critically acclaimed ‘Brightest Star’ album on Rotters Golf Club, ‘Burn From the Inside’ on Satamile and the‘Static Tactics e.p.’ as Decoy on D1 Recordings with the ‘Release Through Velocity’ album on Satamile completed in December.

Dropping in February 2006,Decal's new 12" EP on Invisible Agent Records is a slab of pumping electro and breaks.Along with 3 tracks from Decal on this release comes a remix from 2BiT.2BiT who also performs live on the night has already appeared on the first 2 releases on Invisible Agent Records but this is his first remix for the label.
