Nortec Collective is an influential musical ensemble that emerged from Tijuana, Mexico, and is renowned for its distinctive blend of norteño and electronic music, a genre often referred to as "Nortec." The collective formed in the late 1990s and initially included a diverse group of musicians and artists, each with their unique projects and styles. This amalgamation of the traditional Mexican sounds of tambora and banda with the modern beats of techno, house, and electronica has garnered them a dedicated following both domestically and internationally.

The collective's innovative sound is best encapsulated in their critically-acclaimed series, "The Tijuana Sessions," with "Tijuana Sessions Vol. 3," being particularly noted for its polished production and seamless fusion of genres. Over the years, Nortec Collective has seen changes in its lineup, but founding members like Bostich and Fussible have consistently remained at the core of the project. With releases such as "La City (feat. Hernàn del Riego)" and the energetic "Tijuana Makes Me Happy - EP", the group continues to celebrate and reinvent the music of the border region, reflecting the vibrant and complex narratives of their hometown. Their reinterpretation of "Manuel Santillán, el León (LFC)" further exemplifies their talent for bridging the past and present through music. The Nortec sound has not only captivated listeners but also has had a significant cultural impact, symbolizing the creative resilience and cross-border connectivity of the modern globalized world.
