Panoptica is the first of two South American signings uncovered by Paul Arnold in 2001, offering something a little different to the Electronic Projects spinoff of his Certificate 18 label. Like fellow Tijuana resident Andres Sanchez, whose album as Ruisort spun upfront keys into feverish Latin horns, or Fernando Corona, who records gothic sonic architectures for Leaf as Murcof, Roberto Mendoza's Panoptica purports to be the sound of the Nortec Collective, a sonic hybrid that twists highbrow techno with traditional norteño, or northern Mexican music. Taking his moniker from Jeremy Bentham's all-seeing, self-regulating plan for a prison is typically compunctious, with Mendoza in fact looking externally for his inspiration, constructing his debut album from samples lifted from the tapes made.
