“Each of the nortec collective members have their own projects, and there are other disciplines involved now, too.” Nortec encompasses graphic design, literature, film, architecture, apparel design, and there’s even a Mexican anime electronic war game in the works.
As Fussible’s Mogt explains, nortec was both an inevitability and an accident, a sort of digital self-analysis by punk era teens from Tijuana who were weaned on Kraftwerk, Clash, and Human League in the ‘80s and wouldn’t be caught dead listening to anything as uncool as norteño back then.
But for now, with P2P-fueled excitement driving the nortec sound to an increasingly wide fan base, the artists who comprise the nortec collective have their hands full keeping up with demand for new material and international tour dates.

The disc's jacket boasts the accurate claim that "Nortec Collective is not a genre or a group.
Nortec stands for norteno-techno; Tech-Mex cut and paste; the convergence of high-tech, low-tech, and traditional northern Mexican music." Simply put, this is techno-meets-mariachi/salsa.
For the Nortec Collective artists, blending natural sounds with modern tracks is all about fills--the space between beats where a trumpet lick kicks in some fire, where scratchy percussion maintains the pulse, where accordion chords mimic Euro-pop.
