Fussible was born in 1997. The following year the first album Fono was released, composed by Melo Ruíz and Pepe Mogt.
After the release of Fono, Pepe Mogt was looking to develop an experimental mix of regional music, this sound would turn out to be Nortec, a conjunction of Norteño (popular folk music in Tijuana) and Techno, a style they would help create, as well as share with a group of like minded musicians that would eventually turn into the Nortec Collective.
Melo Ruíz left the project in 2004.
