about
"More Joy" from Ramón Amezcua “Bostich” is a special bonus track, commissioned by Ballroom Marfa, from the long-term project MXTX: A Cross-Border Exchange. The full album will be released this Spring — more news coming next week!
'MXTX' is a collaborative project, envisioned by composer Graham Reynolds, co-curated by Orión García, Coka Treviño, and Felipe Pérez Santiago, featuring forty DJ-producers and composers from Mexico and the United States.
The project offers an insightful examination of borders by building musical, cultural, and social connections through collective artmaking, culminating in an open-souce audio sample library, album, and live performance.
Ramón Amezcua, aka "Bostich" of The Nortec Collective, is a Tijuana-based electronic music composer and producer. He is considered to be the Godfather of Nortec, a style of electronic music that combines elements of classic Tambora and Norteño music such as instruments and rhythms with techno beats and production techniques. His project “Nortec Collective Presents Bostich+Fussible” has been nominated for several Grammy awards.
