    Try the 'Nortec experimental' EP. Same bands, no house music. lots of
    messed up Noteno Samples. On a more hip-hop side, Control Machete's first
    album is filled with Norteno samples. 'Lupita', for example, is all based
    on Anotnio Aguilar's 'chubasco' and there are samples from Bronco an El
    Limite. Very cheesy sometimes. Also, remember that a lot of mainstream
    Norteno has been techno for a while now. Specially 'quebradita' which is
    laid down over a very fast electronic beat.
