Tijuana’s Nortec Collective is a loose confederation of DJs that has created a dance-club sound capturing the sensibility of the notorious border town. “Some people call it the happiest place on earth/Others say it’s a dangerous place/ It’s been the city of sin/But you know I don’t care,” go the lyrics of “Tijuana Makes Me Happy” from the new album “Tijuana Sessions Vol. 3″ (Nacional Records). The use of lyrics on this mostly instrumental record hints at Nortec’s desire to create a soundtrack that will make you remember TJ in your dreams.
