If you happen to be going to the Joshua Tree Music Festival in May, be sure to check them out: http://www.joshuatreemusicfestival.com/mayartists.htm. Alternatively you can see them at the MUTEK festival in Montreal, Quebec.
Nortec collective is not a band or a group but a series of compilations created in (and about) Tijuana Mexico where electronica, norteño and tambora music come together with visuals. See http://www.nortec.info/
Nor-tec has spawned audio imitators, Volvo ads, t-shirts, and indie films, popped up everywhere from art installations to MTV and HBO, and now Tijuana’s first-next-big-global-thing finally has its own full-scale scholarly book that lends a critical ear to border beats. With a focused and serious mix of theory, interviews, and lots of listening during long nights in Tijuana clubs, Madrid has done the music and the scene a great service by unraveling its histories and dissecting its meanings for fans and scholars alike.
