The reason for releasing this album so soon after the previous one is to celebrate the bicentenary of Mexican independence (one of the first in Latin American), which will take place on 15 September. Bulevar 2000, to be released by Nacional Records on the day before, includes eleven songs with the usual treatment that Pepe Mogt "Fussible" and Ramon Amezcua "Bostich" give to their work: accordion and highly effective programming. "We are always looking for ways to experiment. It's our way of life," seems to be their way of life, according to public statements they have made. Nortec Collective (a contraction of Norteño and Techno) was formed in 1999 in Tijuana and, interestingly, each member works on his own individual projects as well. Bostich and Fussible have a background in electronic music that goes back to 1988, which was the year in which they produced their first work, Monnithor, and almost immediately afterwards, the compilation, Nortec Sampler, for the then newly-created Mil Records. Then came Nortec Experimental, and later, Tijuana Sessions, three works that would bring them international recognition. After a number of internal squabbles with some of the DJs associated with the group, Bostich and Fussible continued their success with Nortec Collective Presents Bostich & Fussible: Tijuana Sound Machine in 2008, which was Grammy nominated, and Nortec Collective Presents Clorofila: Corridos Urbanos in 2010. Some of Nortec Collective's work has appeared in video games, television series and well-known films, such as Rosario Tijeras (Emilio Maillé, 2005), Babel (Alejandro González, 2006) and Rudo y Cursi (Carlos Cuarón (2008).
