Cristian Vogel (born 1972) is a Chilean-born experimental electronic musician and producer.

Vogel was born in Chile and moved to England in the early 1980s with his family, fleeing from the government of Augusto Pinochet.^[1]

He began working with electronic compositions in the late 1980s with the Cabbage Head Collective (working with Si Begg, among others). He attended the University of Sussex and graduated with a degree in modern music there, suffusing his techno compositions with influences from musique concrete and other avant-garde styles.^[1]

In the early 1990s, Vogel began working with Dave Clarke, and issued several EPs on Clarke's Magnetic North Records label, the first of which was the underground success, Infra.^[1] After some collaborations with Russ Gabriel, Vogel released his debut full-length, Beginning to Understand, in 1994 on Mille Plateaux, and began releasing music regularly after this on Tresor Records. He also started two labels of his own, Mosquito and Quinine, on which he releases both his own music and other artists'.

Alongside Jamie Lidell, he formed the group Super Collider in 1998, which released two albums. In the early 2000s, Vogel moved to Barcelona, where he set up the Erutufon 5 studio.

In recent years,^[when?] he has started a number of other record labels: Rise Robots Rise (now defunct), Sleep Debt, and Station 55 (also the name of his studio).^[1][2] Whilst these record labels are primarily a vehicle to release his own work, they have also released records for other artists.

He sang and played guitar in the band Night of the Brain, based in Barcelona.^[3] Vogel has also done remixes for Radiohead, Maxïmo Park, Chicks on Speed, and Fujiya & Miyagi. As of 2021, he is based in Copenhagen.^[4]
