Sussie 4 is an electronic music duet from Guadalajara, Mexico, formed in 1998 under the electronic music scene, mainly house music.
History
Sussie 4 was formed in the summer of 1998 in Guadalajara, Mexico by music producer César Gudiño (keyboards, synths, program systems) and multi-instrumentalist Odín Parada (guitar, percussions, voice). They met and began experimenting y the "mestizaje" (a spanish word used to refer to a mix between Indigenous and European cultures) of an organic/electronic fusion. With strong influences in French House, which later came to define their more aesthetic siluette, which very elegantly mixes latin rhythms with jazz and pop in avant-garde, deliciously complemented with known, and yet to become known voices.Acid Cabaret, Paris Cuba, Electro Song, and other categories and even complete phrases could describe the eclectic offer which Sussie 4 uniquely delivers, however, the term which defines their sound best is the one that gives title to their debut album "Música Moderna" released in 2002 by Nopal Beat/EMI. Although this clasification could come from distant, not up-to-date generations, the combination of both words, literally "Modern Music", could not be more adequate. It is in fact Music, and it is in fact Modern, the rest is universal, or in other words, simply goes beyond."Música Moderna" has was first released in Mexico and France, followed by the United States, it's tracks have been featured in a number of popular compilations of the genre and have become well known in the scene throughout Australia, Japan, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and other countries worldwide.A duo in escence, and a quartet in presence, Sussie 4 represents a creation in constant activity which has achieved an almost instant recognition status. A single album has brought them an unmistakable distinction seal and a kaleidoscope of posibilities and oportunities. They have been awarded as "Best Alternative Artist" in 2003 by the US-american zine Banda Elástica. Their energic and highly disciplined live presentations and tours, which currently successfully conjur electronic instrumentos with endless organically unified percussions of voice, guitar and electric bass, have brought them together with acts such as Gus Gus, Bentley Rhythm Ace, Sven Väth, Deep Dish, Dj Hell, Buscemi, and a great number of others. Including collaborative presentations at festivals such as Techno Geist, Vive Latino Union Fest y Playa MTV in Mexico, Rock al Parque in Colombia and Espárragos in Spain.In this short period Sussie 4 has become an obligatory reference in the Mexican electronic music scene. Many have described their sound as unique, genius, and uniquely rhtyhmic, making its distinguishment from traditional single rhythm or unvariable beats of house music. Sussie 4 has been awarded "Best Live Act" in the DJs and Clubbing categoris as nominated as "Best Electronic Live Act"In 2006 they released their second album called "Red Album", featuring well known rock and pop stars, mainly from Mexico's more sophisticated modern rock and pop acts, such as Denisse Guerrero of Belanova, Alex Sergi of Miranda!, León Larregui of Zoé, Valentina González and Ely Guerra.
