Release Info:
Roberto Mendoza is best known as Panóptica, one of the members of The Nortec Collective. As Panóptica, Mendoza released a string of EP's of pulsating minimal techno on London's Certificate 18 label almost ten years ago. He also released a collection of remixes of his tracks on Nacional (the label responsible for the Latin Alternative phenomenon in the US).
As his duties increased as a member of Nortec Collective, with worldwide tours and plenty of dance and party oriented music, Mendoza decided to start a side project and create more personal music. A couple of years ago he released "Canciones de la presita" (Songs From The Little Dam), a sweet collection of acoustic and electronic lullabies and ambient sounds. An album that was mostly inspired by his new role in life as a father.
His new album, If I Fall Asleep... I Crash, is a continuation of his previous work, if not a leap forward. In it, Roberto Mendoza explores the post punk sounds that influenced him in his youth: the grimier sounds of the early 4AD sound (Xmal Deutschland, Dif Juz, The Wolfgang Press and This Mortal Coil), adding some electronic kosmiche spice, hazy dub and slow down minimal tech into the mix. A series of musical passages that flow in between dark undercurrents and blinding light.
The album contains collaborations with Flavius E. (Argentinean electronic music producer) and David J (of Love And Rockets and Bauhaus fame). The album was mastered by Stefan Betke (Pole) with art direction by Rubén Tamayo (Fax).
