En abril de 2008, Roberto Mendoza es expulsado del colectivo al registrar de manera ilegal y arbitraria el nombre de "Nortec".

Hoy Panóptica participa en fechas donde se anuncia  NORTEC y se hace autollamar NORTEC, lo unico que genera es confundir a la gente que sigue al verdadero NORTEC,

En este video no solo utiliza la palabra Nortec, tambien utiliza la música y videos de NORTEC COLLECTIVE : Bostich+​Fussible.

es el colmo!

Bostich + Fussible hicieron bailar al Lunario
En el Lunario, el Colectivo Nortec ofreció un concierto de mezclas, que fueron bailadas por sus entusiastas fans hasta la madrugada.
La noche del sábado anunció una gran fiesta con Nortec Collective en el Lunario de la Ciudad de México, y la colaboración de Bostich + Fussible fue la garantía. Pepe Mogt, Ramón Amezcua y tres músicos de banda y norteña fueron el complemento necesario para que el recinto se llenara de encanto. Como ya es costumbre, los tijuanenses no dijeron una sola palabra dentro del show, sólo se dedicaron a hacer bailar a todos los asistentes. “The Clap” “Tijuana Bass” y “Norteña del Sur”, fueron las piezas con las que dio arranque la agrupación. El concierto demostró por qué Nortec es la banda favorita de la música electrónica y norteña. Mil fueron las personas que se encontraban en el lugar. Otro tanto se plantó fuera del sitio para intentar conseguir uno de los boletos, aunque se hubieran agotado semanas antes. Para los afortunados, Nortec tocó dentro de su espectáculo canciones que formarán parte de su nuevo álbum, que aún no tienen nombre. ?Además de nueva música, interpretaron éxitos como “Tijuana Makes me Happy”, “Playbox”, “Shake it Up” y “Brown Bike”. También fueron mostradas las imágenes que son parte de su próximo proyecto. Pepe y Ramón, en entrevista con ¡hey!, anunciaban que el concierto terminaría “hasta que el cuerpo aguante” pero lamentablemente no se logró, pues el Lunario cierra a las dos de la mañana, hora en la que se dio por terminado el show. El músico Gustavo Medina apuntó al cierre: “Estuvo superbien. Loca la gente y loco yo, imagínate. Yo hago la parte de la banda sinaloense que es la trompeta y la tuba. Mis compañeros de un lado hacen la parte norteña que es el acordeón y el bajo sexto, y Bostich y Fussible hacen la parte electrónica”. “Cuando tocamos en el Vive Latino, después de que cerraron Los Fabulosos, pensamos que la gente se iba a retirar y se quedaron, fuimos el after”, señaló el trompetista. Con las piezas “Rosarito”, “Mama Loves Nortec” y “Mi Casita” abandonaron el escenario. Posteriormente hicieron un remake del tema con el que empezaron a tocar. Nortec supo llevar a los asistentes en un recorrido por diversos estados de ánimo. La gente cantó, brincó, bailó y se identificó con cada integrante del colectivo. “Estuvimos en completa comunicación con el público y sentimos el apoyo de la gente. Aquí esperábamos más, pero nos cerraron el lugar, nos cortaron la luz y el audio”, finalizó Ramón Amezcua, de Bostich. Sorpresas Dentro de los invitados al evento se encontró la sorpresiva presencia de la periodista argentina Olga Wornat, quien bailó y se mostró entusiasmada en el concierto. El cierre del año, Nortec viajará a Australia y Nueva Zelanda para continuar con sus presentaciones alrededor del mundo y proseguir con su proyecto discográfico. Ericka Rodríguez • Ciudad de México

Clausuran Festival Internacional Cervantino
Tijuana Sound Machine y La Banda del Estado de Zacatecas cierran con concierto en la Alhóndiga de Granaditas, que muestra varios huecos vacíos en las gradas


Julio Alejandro Quijano / enviado
El Universal
Guanajuato, Gto Lunes 02 de noviembre de 2009




Raro como si fueran habitantes de países con lenguajes y costumbres distintas.
Inconexo como si estuvieran en un universos paralelos.
Ruidoso y sordo cual discusión entre políticos.

Así fue el diálogo que intentaron entablar Tijuana Sound Machine y La Banda del Estado de Zacatecas en el concierto de clausura del Festival Internacional Cervantino en una Alhóndiga de Granaditas que no se desbordó de público y, por el contrario, tuvo varios huecos vacíos en las gradas y la zona del patio.

La primera parte del concierto transcurrió en el ambiente del rave con Tijuana Sound Machine presentando un sonido electrónico renovado a partir de la integración de músicos norteños como el acordeonista Juan Téllez, el clarinetista Erasmo Salazar, y sobre todo, el trompetista Gustavo Medina quien parece haber nacido para acompañar la música electrónica de Bostich y Fussible.

Tocaron desde Jacinto hasta la popular "Tijuana Makes me happy", canción con la que se dio a conocer el colectivo Nortec de donde surge ahora "Tijuana Sound Machine".
Hacia el final del concierto apareció la Banda de Zacatecas con su uniforme rojo y su orgulloso escudo del Estado. Desde ese momento privó el desconcierto en el escenario.

El director de la Banda, Salvador García, se notaba extraviado y la interpretación de La Marcha de Zacatecas resintió de la poca concentración de sus músicos.
Y mientras, Bostich y Fussible estaban parados frente a ellos sin saber qué hacer.
Presentaron luego un intento de fusión a partir de la canción "Tijuana Sound Machine" en la que los instrumentos de viento de la Banda de Zacatecas soanaban fuera de tiempo y las panderetas eran un mero adorno con el anuncio de "mudo".

Una mujer en primera fila hizo un comentario lapidario y que resume la sensación que quedó luego de este falllido intento por mezclar ambas agrupaciones: "Por lo menos no destrozaron La Marcha de Zacatecas", en referencia a que esta canción la interpretó la Banda sin intromisión de Tijuana Sound Machine.

All the world's our stage

PATRICK MCDONALD
October 22, 2009

TIJUANA techno, Jamaican jazz-ska and Palestinian pop are among the cross-cultural soundwaves which will fill the air at Botanic Park next year as part of an expanded, four-day Womadelaide festival.

More than 300 artists from 20 countries spanning from Azerbaijan to the Western Sahara, will perform across seven open-air stages, alongside more than 100 international food, crafts and display stalls, street theatre, performance installations, workshops and visual arts activities.

From Barcelona, feisty nine-piece group Ojos de Brujo will breathe fire into a heady fusion of street rumba and hip-hop with a hot flamenco heartbeat.

Relive last Womad 2009 here

A true musical menagerie, 10-piece French big band Babylon Circus has reached far beyond its ska-punk inspiration to embrace spirited chanson, funk, Afro-beat and dancehall reggae.

Seminal ska group The Skatalites came from a big-band jazz background but revolutionised Jamaican music, laying the foundation for rocksteady, reggae, dub, dancehall and raga.

Tijuana's Nortec Collective has invented a fusion of norteno (traditional music from North Mexico) and hard techno dance beats, blending accordions, tubas and trumpets with vocoders, drum machines and synthesizers.

Singer/composer Amal Murkas melds pop elements with Palestinian folklore andarabic heritage, railing against the marginalisation of Arab Palestinian culture.

Possessing one of the most beautiful voices in the Middle East, Murkas's three solo albums since 2000 have been acclaimed for weaving Palestinian poetry with Western instrumentation.

Tucson, Arizona, duo Joey Burns and John Convertino have spent 12 years exploring all manner of dusty low-fi and compelling sound noir experiments through their eclectic six-piece band, Calexico.

Legendary accordion player Mairtin O'Connor, a primary musical force behind the Riverdance phenomenon, formed a formidable new Irish trio in 2001 with fiddle and banjo player Cathal Hayden a (founding member of Four Men and A Dog) and guitarist/singer Seamie O'Dowd.

Profile

AA-S Best Bet - Nortec Collective:

For more than 10 years, the gritty, brassy musical sounds that inhabit and provide a living soundtrack for Tijuana have been the muse of Nortec Collective. And even now, with increased violence and a new border wall, not much has changed for this group of musicians.

There's no doubt that the political and social scenes in Tijuana have changed drastically in the last decade, but these changes have only manifested a need for expression and collaboration, said Pepe "Fussible" Mogt, one of Nortec's founding members.

"Things will always change and that's no different for the Nortec Sound," he said. "The actual sound and the message might change, but the heart of Nortec, the things uniquely Tijuana, (like) the tambora (drumming) and the norteño music will always make up our sound, without them, we stops being Nortec."

The sound Mogt speaks of is literally what the groups name suggests: Techno and Norteño. The blend of the modern electronica with traditional Mexican music, including norteño along with tambora and banda sinaloense (used to describe popular music born in the state of Sinaloa) are what critics, fans and even scholars have come to praise. The funky beats are catchy enough to be included in successful Mexican films including "Rudo y Cursi" (starring Diego Luna and Gael Bernal Garcia) and the American documentary "Fast Food Nation" by director Eric Scholosser.

The unique Nortec sound might be something that is easy to detect, but understanding the make up of the project can be a bit confusing.

One photo of Nortec Collective shows four guys, while another only two.

The easy explanation is that four musicians collaborate to create the Nortec Collective sound: "Hiperboreal" Beas, Jorge "Clorofila" Verdin, Ramon "Bostich" Amescua and, Fussible. None consider Nortec Collective a band.

They're just a collective of musicians each dedicated to generating a unique blend of traditional northern Mexican music sounds with the most updated and sophisticated techno sounds around.

While there are two possible billings for the project -Nortec Collective presents: Bostich + Fussible or Nortec Collective presents: Hiperboreal + Clorofila- the billing with most bookings is the Bostich + Fussible line-up.

No matter who's on stage, the Nortec Collective mission is to capture a unique border culture that transcends nationalities and remains true to its native beats while telling the ongoing story of a troubled city.

— Gissela SantaCruz

From the promoter:
"The future music for the rest of Mexico…" -- The Wire (England)

As Mexico prepares its Centenial and Bicentennial celebrations in 2010, Nortec Collective is creating the country's soundtrack for the next 100 years. More of a movement than a band, Nortec Collective started in the late 90s when several Mexican musicians began fusing norteño and techno. Since then, they have created a vibrant and uncharted brand of alternative Latin music that transcends its genre. The music is an energy and force, which commands people to shake, dance and move their way out of any inhibition and leave modesty behind. From the moment it begins, a Nortec Collective performance shocks the soul and their universal rhythms create a remarkable harmony between artists and audiences.

Musical talent outshines drama queens

By Nina Garin
Union-Tribune Staff Writer

2:00 a.m. August 31, 2009


Ongoing coverage

You can't have a good music festival without some drama, right?
And Street Scene, in particular Friday's installment, had the makings for plenty of it.
Though the two-day concert's mostly alternative lineup made for less intense crowds, the anticipated antics of both Black Eyed Peas and Wavves was enough to get the gossip flowing.

Let's start with the Black Eyed Peas. Last time the hip-pop group performed at Street Scene in 2005, its divalike singer, Fergie, peed her pants on stage. It made international headlines.

The question of the night was, would she do it again?
Then there's Wavves. Over the summer, San Diego's latest underground sensation had a disastrous show in Spain that ended in beer throwing. It also made international headlines.

Would that happen again?
The answers, at least at this particular festival, were no. And no. Both Black Eyed Peas and Wavves put on lackluster performances.
Black Eyed Peas did the same highly produced, rambly show it always puts on. Fergie's cut-out shorts outfit that showed off mysteriously oily hips and legs was about as controversial as it got.

And Wavves frontman Nathan Williams cared more about the reverb on his microphone than crowd approval. His show was noisy, inaudible and once the crowd realized there would be no drama, most people cleared out.

Instead, those higher-profile bands were outshined by musicians with much less baggage. Like former San Diegan Anya Marina.

The perpetual coffee-shop chanteuse returned to town an indie heartthrob a la Jenny Lewis (who happened to be performing with Conor Oberst right around the same time).
Marina was covered in feathered jewelry, wore blunt bangs and had a self-confidence that drew in more fans than just local music aficionados. The raspy-voiced singer delivered the cheery music from her album, “Slow & Steady Seduction, Phase II,” with more of a rocker edge than we're used to.

And when she closed her set with the sultry “Afterparty at Jimmy's,” she brought a much-needed dose of swagger to the evening.

Though lots of fans left after Marina's set to catch the fine but predictable Modest Mouse, those who stayed behind to watch Tijuana's Nortec Collective ended up with the night's most exhilarating performance.
The members of Nortec mix dance beats with the banda and Norteno music heard throughout northern Mexico.

Armed with Mariachi-inspired cowboy gear and futuristic musical contraptions, Pepe Mogt and Ramon Amezcua looked like the Mexican version of Daft Punk. Except instead of the show being two guys tinkering on computers, it also added outstanding tuba, trumpet and accordion players to the mix.

The crowd erupted into a hot, sweaty dance party that went far down the alley and encouraged even some of the most hipstery music fans to get out and dance for a while.

A lot of the relatively young festival-goers already warmed up their dancing sandals earlier, when another local band, Dirty Sweet, performed earlier that day. Wearing tight, ribbed tank tops and mustaches, the local boys channeled the best of '70s rock despite playing during the hottest part of the day. The music was sexy and wild, just like the band name implies.

But because of an overwhelmingly mellow lineup that also included peaceful sets by Calexico, Devendra Banhart and Band of Horses, Friday night was relatively drama-free.

Whatever went on in the many beer gardens, however, is another story entirely.
