“Tijuana's Nortec Collective have engineered some of the most convincing and
satisfying collisions between electronic music and indigenous sounds.”
- CHICAGO READER - Chicago Reader
'Tijuana Sound Machine' is... filled with bursts of color and bold, daring strokes of
art-dance genius."
- NY NEWSDAY - NY Newsday
“The highlight [at Treasure Island] was Nortec Collective: Bostich + Fussible... the
best dance music of all time. It's sexy, suave and has real instruments!”
- SF WEEKLY - SF Weekly
“’Tijuana Sound Machine’ is both folk music friendly and alien/outer space driven, as electronic freaky as anything by Bjork, Radiohead, or Aphex Twin. If anything, the album is wildly innovative, the first salvo in what may become a global electronic revolution… Never mind hip-hop, ‘Tijuana Sound Machine’ will truly take a nation of millions to hold it back.”
- YAHOO! MUSIC - Yahoo Music
“One of the 2008's most likable releases was ‘Tijuana Sound Machine,’ a borderbusting mash-up of hip-swiveling electro beats and traditional instrumentation.”
- LA WEEKLY - LA Weekly
“Fronted by Fussible + Bostich, these guys bring Latin electronica to a new - wait a minute. Nortec Collective practically invented the electronic Latin genre.”
- SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE - San Francisco Chronicle
"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 - New York Times
“[’Tijuana Sound Machine’] is one party you don't want to miss.”
- BILLBOARD - Billboard
“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. As the styles tumble
harmoniously into one another, Bostich + Fussible hit a sweet spot that's less
"world music" than blissfully whirled music.”
- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY - Entertainment Weekly
"Nortec creates updated lounge sounds for both dancing and chilling...you don't
even need a passport or to leave your name on the guest list to dig it."
- ROLLING STONE - Rolling Stone
