10.10.09 :: JUAN SON (lead singer for Porter) live @ Fontana’s
Juan Son began his musical journey at a very early age:” I remember my first band, named Knuvo… it was a pop rock group and it was my first shot at being the lead singer of a band,” recalls Juan with a mischievous tone. A few years later, Juan Son traveled to England to study music at the London Center of Contemporary Music. “I have very fond memories of that part of my life… I had several musical projects going on with people from all walks of life (French, Australian, Mexicans, etc)… that made everything so much more interesting. The projects were called Novocaine and The Care Bear!”
After a year experimenting in England, Juan Son returned to Mexico and Porter was born… “Porter actually began prior to me leaving to England, but it wasn’t after I returned from Europe that we started working 100% on it and molding it. ”Porter lasted 4 years and during this time they released an EP "Donde Los Ponys Pastan" (Where the Ponies Graze) and a full album “Atemahawke". Their unique style and approach to music led to them to being invited to participate in such important festivals as Coachella and Vive Latino.
With the demise of Porter in 2008, Juan Son began working on solo projects and February 2009, he released his debut album titled Mermaid Sashimi, which has received critical praise… Mermaid Sashimi is composed of songs that were written before and during his time with Porter. Unlike the music that catapulted Porter’s performances before massive audiences at Coachella and Mexico’s Vive Latino, “Mermaid Sashimi” is a more organic approach at expression that strays from traditional guitar- and drum-driven beats. In this album, music samples created by ambient effects and sounds are enhanced by Juan Son’s trademark ethereal vocals. Watch his video for "NADA"
10.24.09 :: Amanditititita live @ Fontana’s (filming scenes for her next music video)
THE ANARCHUMBIA QUEEN - Anarcumbia definition: Anarchist cumbia, sarcastic satire of everyday life. Amandititita definition: A very short form for her name, Amanda Escalante. Born in Tampico,Tamaulipas, Mexico on the third day of August,l979. Studied at SOGEM The General Society of Mexican Writers and later on at Escuela Dinámica de Escritores (Dynamic School of Writers), directed by Mario Bellatin. Among her teachrers were Elsa Cross, Daniel Sada, Sergio Pitol, Hugo Arguelles and Guillermo Fadanelli. She studied Drama with French teacher Phillipe Eustachon and performed at the Mexico City Museum and Ollin Yoliztli Theater. She writes stories and novels but for the time being she writes songs, and performs them with colored crinolines.
At 14, she started writing poetry and stories. But her appearance in the world of music was only five years ago. Lyrics were written on napkins due to the lack of a computer and over karaoke tracks she placed the lyrics. With these simple songs she sang in different places in Mexico and Europe. Until she found a piece of paper that read “If you have lyrics but you are missing the music... Call now!” She called, and behind the phone speaker she found a composer that for 600 pesos made the music for METROSEXUAL, LA MATA VIEJITAS, LA MUY MUY, LA MICROBUSERA and others. At the time she was living in a single room on the top floor of a building, but in Condesa. She made 3000 pesos a month working in an advertisement agency, spent 2000 on rent, and had to manage how to make ends meet, buying food, and saving to pay for the music of her songs.
All a social phenomenon. Relentless fighter for freedom of speech. Her songs have urban themes, with a hidden social criticism. Her songs tell about the slums, the dark side of Mexico, places that generally do not inspire to make a song, like a government office where the secretary who is in love with the manager, (Viernes de Quincena), the frustrated wife with a drunk husband, (A Chingar Te Vas), or a nurse that kills old ladies, or a dark skin woman that wants to be blonde to be on TV (La Güera Televisa), or the typical man who extremely worries about his body, (Metrosexual). Amanditita is inspired by the everyday news. Her songs are played on commercial radio stations, in La Que Buena and Exa, because her lyrics are rock but her music is cumbia, it is a popular product. Watch here video for "Metrosexual"
WHAT DOES THE NAME NACOTHEQUE MEAN?
[NAKO-TEK] Nacotheque - The name Nacotheque was made up of the words “Naco” (often used in Mexican Spanish to describe bad-mannered people. Kinda equivalent to the American “White Trash”) and “Discotheque”. The name has a meaning all in it’s own - representing music not only from Mexico, but Spanish-sung music from around the globe and sharing it with an eclectic selection of music fans.
THE NACOTHEQUE MISSION ::
There are tons of new, old, rare, and yet to be discovered artists that beat the stereotypes of Spanish-sung music. The more people that know about it the better the public can be educated in what is considered the alternative to Latin music.
WHAT IS NACOTHEQUE? A PARTY, A BRAND, A TASTEMAKER.
Nacotheque is a dance party in NYC that highlights new and old, popular and obscure music from all over Latin America and Spain of rock n’ roll, new wave, indie rock, baile-funk, nouveau-eighties, electropop, disco, cumbia, punk, and some hip-hop. The party happens every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month at Fontana’s in the Lower East Side/Chinatown area.
Nominiated by PAPER magazine “Best New Party of 2007” and dubbed as “NYC’s hottest indie rock party en español” by URB magazine, Nacotheque has become one of the most unique events in New York City’s underground scene. Nothing says “awesome” when realizing that we’ve created an outlet for Latinos and Non-Latinos (who speak Spanish or not at all) to come together and enjoy and discover new music in a diverse and fun environment.
In addition to being a party, Nacotheque has become a recognized brand to Spanish-sung Latin alternative music that allows us the privilege to introduce new artists to a generation of music and pop culture hungry people all over the world.
WHO ARE THE PRODUCERS BEHIND NACOTHEQUE?
Since February of 2006 Juan Ramirez (Marcelo Cunning) and Amylu Meneses (Amylulita) have been producing Nacotheque. By blending their own event production backgrounds and musical tastes Marcelo and Amylu take on the responsibility to seek out music and share it with Nacotheque fans.
In addition to sharing the music in a party setting, the Nacotheque producers recently spoke at NYU on the culture and scene that has been developed for young Latinos and Non-Latinos. It’s exciting when we get emails and comments from people saying how they never thought Spanish-sung music was actually cool, but now they have discovered a whole new world of indie music!
PEOPLE WHO HAVE PARTIED AT NACOTHEQUE ::
Elijah Wood, Scarlett Johansson, Gael Garcia Bernal, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Wendy James, Kinky, Chetes, Los Amigos Invisibles, Zoe, Circo, Silverio, Calle 13, Mima, Volumen Cero, Dapunto Beat, DJ Buenavista (Sinnamon Records/Razzmatazz), and DJ Perotútehasvisto (Razzmatazz/Dancing Queen Festival).

"Menonita Rocker Got F**ked From Above @ Nacotheque" - Nacotheque Fan in Chicago
“NYC’s hottest indie rock party… en espanol”
“More than a party, Nacotheque's disco nights are the hipster's global exchange...”
“Dancin’ Enspanish - ...with the coolest indie new-wave electronica, and you’ve got a brilliant party: Nacotheque.”
“Y en Nueva York triunfa este club donde los sonidos espanoles son los reyes de la fiesta: desde electropop al ye-ye mas 60’s. Un club dedicado al Spanish-sung pop por donde han pasado ya artistas como La Prohibida, Fangoria, o Los Super Elegantes.”
“Nacotheque has become the place to hang for hipster Latinos.”
“NACOTHEQUE: BOMBA LATINA!”
“…often-androgynous, always fabulous Latin scenesters and the fashionastas that dig them underground to sweat and dance…”
