An electronic music project formed in 1994 by Cisco Ferreira and Colin McBean, who had been working together since 1990. They also recorded as G Flame & Mr.G. In 1998 McBean decided to concentrate on other projects like his label Phoenix G, making The Advent a solo project for Ferreira.

Nowadays The Advent is best known for its hard minimal techno releases on labels such as Tresor. The Past Forward EP on Conform is a good example of Cisco's pounding beats. Other labels The Advent has worked with include Kombination Research, Neue Heimat, Spiel-zeug Schallplatten and Tortured.
