Nortec (from the combination of "norteño" and "techno") is an electronic musical genre from Tijuana (a border city in Baja California, Mexico) that first gained popularity in the late 1990s. Nortec music is characterized by hard dance beats and samples from traditional forms of Mexican music such as Banda sinaloense and Norteño - unmistakably Mexican horns are often used. Norteño (literally meaning northern in Spanish, and also known as conjunto) is a traditional style of Mexican music that originated in rural northern Mexico in the early 20th century, a form of music based largely on corridos and polka. ...

In 1999, Pepe Mogt was experimenting with both Norteño (popular folk music in Tijuana) Sounds and Electronica. This sound would turn out to be Nortec, a style he created and later shared with a group of likeminded musicians that would eventually turn into the Nortec Collective. Situated near the United States border, and in the US cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, Tijuana's musical scene is heavily influenced by tourism, and in particular, an international night life, a co-operative local musical community, and a steady supply of visiting DJs from the US. Many Mexicans from Mexico City frequently shuttle between Tijuana and Ibiza, Spain (a world renowned party club location), further exchanging and enriching the music.
