Chilean of origin but raised in the UK's Midlands, Cristian Vogel's music fetish began in the late eighties when he hooked up with Si Begg's 'Cabbage Head Collective'. His first EP 'Infra' (1993) on Dave Clarke's Magnetic North, burst the techno scene in a rock hard, machine driven industrial frenzy. Following his UK label success, Vogel branched into the established world of German techno, and recorded 'Intersync' for Force Inc., a record that Cristian recognises as being perhaps the most important breakthrough in his career. Summer 1994 projects included Vogel's final Magnetic North release, the storming 'Lambda' 12", and the start of Cristian's own label, Mosquito Records, and the beginning of The Box club night in Brighton, reintroducing the town to the techno sorely missing from its nightlife. That November he released the 'Beginning to Understand' album on Mille Plateaux, giving him the opportunity to demonstrate the kind of thinking that goes into all his material in a much more accessible way than the four-track EP format normally allows. The continuing respect for his work in Germany led the way to Tresor Records. As the first ever UK artist he recorded the 'Absolute Time' double pack, released in the Spring of 1995. It was a different trip from his work with Mille Plateaux, much more concerned with a conclusive exploration of dance floor constructions - a reliable DJ tool with each track creating the larger scale structure of a DJ club set. He signed Neil Landstrumm for Mosquito, producing many outings for their project Blue Arsed Fly. The acquisition of new machines in the summer of 1995 helped to inspire and produce Vogel's third album, 'Body Mapping' and although still a DJ's delight, it is also an album in the traditional sense of that term - listenable at home, in bed, in the car, and all the way through. In 1996 Cristian created No Future Management, a company representing his interests and headquartering other friends in similar career positions. A No Future EP series by all the artists was released throughout 1996 and gave brilliant ammunition for the several memorable No Future-organised parties and Cristian's incessant gigging the in the USA, Europe, Japan and South Africa. In 1999 Cristian also was setting up an online shop on the no-future.com web site, moving his studio, and recording his sixth solo album on Tresor, 'Busca Invisibles'. In 2000 he came to stay in Berlin for a few weeks to start recording the second Super_Collider longplayer with Jamie Lidell. At the same time NovaMute Records prepared the release of his next solo work 'Rescate 137'. Nine career albums and over twenty-five EP/12" appearances have kept Cristian Vogel's carvings of sound and culture a leading light for a worldwide fan base that demands and wonders about.

At long last, Cristian Vogel returns to the context of club music with a new album, and this time this context is dubstep rather than funky Brighton techno. Fans needn't worry though, as Vogel's brilliance in sound design and arrangement makes 'The Inertials' as much a classic Vogel album as it is mind-blowingly futuristic. Essential!
