"Colores Vol. 1 is a collection of 17 tracks by producers from Argentina, Chile and Mexico,
and was compiled by Pepe Mogt for Mil Records. The project originated after Pepe and
Roberto Mendoza toured Chile and Argentina during a short South American Nortec
tour in 2001 and met many of the members of the electronic music scenes in
Santiago y Buenos Aires. Stacks of CD-Rs and e-mail addresses were traded and
upon returning home, they checked out the material along with CDs collected during
a series of gigs in Mexico City. They noticed the great diversity of the material at hand,
so the idea to compile material electronic music from various Latin American countries,
began to take shape.
The main difference between this collection and Nortec, is that while the latter
explores the combination of traditional Mexican rhythms and instrumentation with
electronic dance techniques, the music in Colores is not necessarily tinted by regional rhythms;
instead, it's a collection of tracks that merge computer based production and atmospherics
with analog sequencing and processing, produced by musicians based in
Buenos Aires, Tijuana, Mexico City and Santiago de Chile among others.
Artists featured in Colores Vol 1 include Argentinean electronic music gurus
Gustavo Lamas and Leandro Fresco; Vlisa and Mambotur (featuring Argenis Brito,
a frequent Señor Coconut collaborator) from Chile, and representing Mexico are
Linga, Discar and Balboa, well as Nortec Collective side projects such as Latinsizer
(Pepe from Fussible), Mendoza (Roberto of Panoptica), Point Loma
(Ramon Amezcua aka Bostich), tre/molo (Jorge Verdin from Clorofila) and
Las Cajas de Ritmo, an open door project which features various members of the
Collective on drum machines and not much else."
