Bostich+Fussble

For over 25 years, Nortec: Bostich+Fussible have reshaped the global perception of Mexican music — and of Tijuana itself. With their groundbreaking fusion of Norteño, Banda, and electronic music, they pioneered a new sound: Nortec, born on the border and embraced around the world.
From Coachella to Glastonbury, Roskilde to Vive Latino, they’ve taken their music to every major festival and nearly every continent — not just as performers, but as cultural ambassadors. In a time when the story of the U.S.-Mexico border was often reduced to headlines, Nortec offered the world a richer, more nuanced perspective — one grounded in creativity, innovation, and pride.
This Greatest Hits vinyl is a curated celebration of that legacy — a collection of tracks that defined a movement, inspired a generation, and put Tijuana on the global music map.
“Nortec Collective transformed the traditional sounds of northern Mexico into something entirely unheard of — a fusion of regional Mexican and electronic music that redefined a generation.” - BILLBOARD

"Nortec creates updated lounge sounds for both dancing and chilling...you don't need a passport or to leave your name on the guest list to dig it."- ROLLING STONE

"Mexican regional music is the best-selling Latin music in the United States. But Nortec Collective's music gives the old sounds some long-term insurance: it makes them cool."- NEW YORK TIMES

“Bostich and Fussible spend the disc hopscotching through genres: Latin horns and accordions share space with metronomic house beats while Daft Punk-esque vocoders drone over acoustic indie-rock strumming.”- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“Nortec Collective” is both folk music friendly and alien/outer space driven, as electronic freaky as anything by Bjork, Radiohead, or Aphex Twin ... Never mind hip-hop, ‘Nortec will truly take a nation of millions to hold it back.” - YAHOO! MUSIC

“One of the year’s most likable releases was ‘Tijuana Sound Machine,’ a border-busting mash-up of hip-swiveling electro beats and traditional instrumentation.”- LA WEEKLY

“Tijuana's Nortec Collective have engineered some of the most convincing and
satisfying collisions between electronic music and indigenous sounds.”- CHICAGO READER
