NORTEC COLLECTIVE RETURNS WITH TIJUANA SESSIONS VOL. 3, SET FOR RELEASE ON JULY 26THThe 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 Nortec is the most important new genre in the world. -Gear After the critical and commercial success of their debut album Tijuana Sessions, Vol. 1, Latin Americas most important electronica act Nortec Collective are back with their much-anticipated follow up album "Tijuana Sessions Vol. 3" (Nacional Records July 26th). 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 musicians 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. The new album features the hypnotic first single Tijuana Makes Me Happy. Nortec Collective sees Tijuana not only as their home, but as a border metropolis of almost two million people, a major hub of global pop culture on par with Tokyo, New York, LA, and London. It is Americas most important switching point, where cultures, cash, languages, styles, laborers, and sounds (lots and lots of sounds) all migrate into each other without the proper documents, clashing and connecting and merging and marrying, like few other spots on the planet. Their Tijuana is Macintosh G5s and bad sewage, digital file swapping, Moby concerts and vaqueros blasting Los Tucanes de Tijuana from their pickup trucks. Nortec Collective is not a thing or a genre or a group or a band, but an entire electronic aesthetic. It is a convergence of high-tech and low-tech, of North and South, of all things techno with all things norteño, of all the things that are a part of the rural and urban. The sound of the Nortec Collective is the sound of the First World in the Third and the Third World in the First. Since 1999, the Nortec Collective musicians have packed dance floors throughout the United States, Mexico, Europe, Japan, and Latin America, transformed LA rock clubs, and ruled the stage of New York's Central Park SummerStage and Irving Plaza. The Nortec Collective has successfully toured the US, performing to packed houses, as well as the prestigious Winter Music Conference in Miami. Nortec Collective has also toured Europe, shows at the Royal Festival Hall in London or Elysee Montmartre in Paris and other dates throughout the American continent. Former Mexican President Ernest Zedillo invited Nortec to provide music for the Mexican pavilion at the Expo 2000 in Hanover, and they've done remixes for Beck, Calexico, Ennio Morricone, Kronos quartet, Ely Guerra, and Julieta Venegas among others. Nortec Collective's music has appeared in commercials for Volvo, Dell, Fidelity Mutual, Edwin Jeans (w/Brad Pitt) in Japan, Nissan, and others. The track Almada is featured in EA Games' FIFA 2005, and an interactive book entitled Paso del Nortec- This Is Tijuana dedicated to the Nortec phenomena was recently released in the US, Mexico and Europe. In support of their new album, Nortec Collective will be launching a U.S. tour, and then head to Europe and Latin America for additional dates.
