Press Info:
Cristian Vogel reprises his NEL alias for his sixth outing on EPM as he presents ‘NEL and The Instrument of Shapes’, an EP featuring two new tracks from the electronic maverick.

Cristian Vogel is a long-term innovator in the composition, mixing and performance of electronic sounds. Spanning over 30 years in the vanguard of international electronic music, his work has been acknowledged as an outstanding influence in the fields of composition for stage, club culture and studio. His numerous album releases have graced such esteemed labels as Tresor, Mille Plateaux, novamute, Shitkatapult, Sub Rosa and more recently his own Endless Process label.

His studio work as NEL is a departure from his more experimental album and sound design compositions and while these will continue, NEL tracks bear a closer resemblance to Cristian’s earlier production style, delivering tougher beats and rhythmic textures primarily using Modular synths in a hands on, improvised live-to-tape process.

‘The Instrument of Shapes’ sees Cristian bury himself back into the deep grooves of dub techno with wonderful subtlety and sound craft to create a slow burning cavern of sound whilst ‘Stepping Stones’ is a more carefree and loose modular affair that flits across bass and dark electronica with scant regard for a regular beat.
