Sussie 4 was formed in the summer of 1998 in Guadalajara, Mexico, by music producer
César Gudiño (keyboards, synths, program systems) and instrumentalist
Odín Parada (guitar, percussion, voice). They began experimenting with a fusion of organic and electronic music. With strong influences in
French house, their sound mixes Latin rhythms with
jazz and pop in avant-garde ways. The term which best defines their sound is the one that gives title to their debut album,
Música Moderna (modern music), released in 2002 by
Nopal Beat/
EMI. Music from this album was featured in a number of popular compilations of electronic music and helped the band become known in the electronic music scene throughout Australia, Japan, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and other countries worldwide. In all four of their studio albums, Sussie 4 have collaborated with various well-known Latin singers and artists, such as
Denisse Guerrero of
Belanova,
Ale Sergi of
Miranda!,
León Larregui of
Zoé,
Valentina González, and
Ely Guerra. ==Studio albums==
