bio: NORTEC COLLECTIVE new Releases are on the way. Ramon(Bostich) and Pepe Mogt (Fussible) get together to launch Tijuana Sound Machine Album in April 9th, stayed tuned for the release and tour dates.
The Nortec Collective is comprised by five artists: Fussible (Pepe Mogt), Bostich (Ramón Amezcua), Panóptica (Roberto Mendoza), Clorofila (Jorge Verdín) and Hiperboreal (Pedro Gabriel Beas). These producers create and perform a style of music called Nortec - a fusion of Norteño ("from the North") and Techno, documenting the collision between the style and culture of electronica and traditional Mexican music.
A great interview from 2001 explaining the beggining of Nortec Collective can be found at Times magazine online
The Latin World hasnt been the same since the release of Nortecs frighteningly original, refreshingly cool Tijuana sessions. -Rolling Stone
They sample the hoots of brass-band tubas and the stuttering drumrolls of nortena bands into a computerized international dance-music hybrid, and by grounding it in local music they suggest both a sense of history and a sense of humor. -New York Times
