Roberto Alonso Mendoza Lopez, known as Panoptica, has been one of the figures in the Mexican electronic music scene since the late 1980s, founding bands like electro pos-industrial outfit Artefakto and in the late 1990s, being part of the Tijuana-based norteña-meets-techno Nortec Collective.

Mendoza has also been releasing tracks as Panóptic and has been one of the figures in the Mexican electronic music scene since the late 1980s, founding bands like electro pos-industrial outfit Artefakto and in the late 1990s, being part of the Tijuana-based norteña-meets-techno Nortec Collective.^[2] He has been invited by English DJ John Peel to do one of his Peel sessions for the BBC in 2001. In 2005, Mendoza had finished two projects, "Desierto" and "Mendoza", in collaboration with David J. (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets) on bass and guitars.

In late 2007, he separated from the Nortec Collective and created the "Nortec Panoptica Orchestra" a band for his live shows, and in early 2008, decided to record a new solo album to push and further develop the electronic sound, working independently from the Tijuana collective with new musical partners (Zoell Farrujia (Ambiente), Benjamin Rivera (Grupo de Acero), Edgar Hernandez (Banda Aguacaliente), Adrian Rodriguez (Koñorteño)), and guest musicians (Javiera Mena, Khan Oral, Yerba Buena). The album was released in March 2010 on Vinyl LP and digital form.
