They had to celebrate somehow. Pepe Mogt (Fussible) and Ramón Amezcua (Bostich)), the 15th anniversary of the release of their gem of a record Tijuana Sound Machine, an album that internationally consolidated his border sound, a combination of classic European techno from the eighties with the rhythms of northern Mexico, using electronic machines in combination with accordions, trombones, and drums, confirming his city, Tijuana, as one of the central capitals of the fusion between local folklore and cutting-edge global expressions.Well, they did well to release, for the celebration, four re-versions of their main hit, the same one that gives its title to their first album as a consolidation as a duo and which, at a digital level, has surpassed, individually, in this decade and a half, the 28 million views.
We celebrate that this compilation of reinterpretations, made by the same members of the duo (three by Bostich and one by Fusible), It has been included in Bandcamp's extensive catalog, for possible download and natural inclusion in the new sets of DJs around the world. As a fun fact, this EP also includes a remix of Shake it up, another stellar moment in their production, in a version they have called 909 mix.
Despite constant warnings of separation and cancellation of their project, Bostich and Fussible continue to tour the world together., attending many of the most prestigious festivals on the planet and entertaining their millions of fans across 5 continents, to whom they have taught, through dance and experimentation, how to combat prejudices and the theoretical impossibilities of combining musical trends from such different origins. Over these fifteen years, Nortec has broken down barriers and, today, It continues to erase boundaries where unity makes the party.
