Hocico

www.myspace.com/hocico
( ;D --> The duo was officially formed in 1993 by Erik Garcia a.k.a. Erk Aicrag (lyrics and vocals) and Oscar Mayorga a.k.a. Racso Agroyam (Programming), but both cousins had been experimenting with electronic music, mixing industrial and EBM, since they were fifteen years old. Their music can be described as electro-industrial. Erk Aircrag and Racso Agroyam incited to express their feelings through technology. Given the influence of varying currents of electronic music (mainly Skinny Puppy) they began their trajectory in 1989 in a project called "Niñera Degenerada". Their lyrics are both in Spanish as well as English. The Spanish word hocico means snout, and is used in Mexico as a disrespectful way to describe someone's comments coming out of their mouth.)
El Último Minuto (Antes de que tu Mundo caiga)[Deluxe Version
H_amazon
( ;D --> What music will you have playing in your final minute? That is THE essential question that we all have to ask ourselves, facing the end to come. As usual, the answer comes from Mexico and is a rabid, loud and aggressive kick in the eye: according to Hard Electro pioneers and sonic enunciators of the impending doom Hocico, everything will end with a bang of beats, anger and bass. Dance to the apocalypse, baby, ‘cos tomorrow all might be too late! Meaning: the new Hocico-album is harder than anything Erk Aicrag and Racso Agroyam have unleashed out of the bowels of their internal hell unto the world so far.)

( ;D --> Andreas Gross may sound as a solo project, but there are about seven musicians involved with this, though the multi-instrumentalist Andreas Gross is the mastermind of the compositions here. The songs are dreamy carried on mostly by female vocals suitable to underline the beauty of the songs.)

( ;D --> Electro-Pop duo Avoid-A-Void, consisting of composer Rico and singer Falo delivers sophisticated electronic arrangements skillfully combining retro-sounds, EBM to mid-tempo beats and atmospheric bodies of sound. Drawing comparisons with Depeche Mode, Camouflage and De/Vision is quite appropriate, but cannot question Avoid-A-Void's individuality.)
