He was a founding member of the Mexican band Titán with whom he released albums such as “Karate Mix” in 1995 and part of the second production “Elevator” which was released by Virgin in 1999. From 2011 to 2017 he collaborated as bassist and keyboardist for the Mexican band Zoé.

Andres Sanchez knows no boundaries in musical exploration and collaboration, his involvement in projects with the likes of Jacobo Lieberman, Leo Heiblum and Alexis Ruiz with whom he founded the Exotic Ensemble.

Among his work we can also find production and musicalization for film, theater, dance, radio and television such as: ‘Erendida Ikikunari’ (2006), ‘La Abolicion de la Propiedades’ (2011),’ Warehouses’ (2015), ‘Sabrás qué do with me ‘(2015),’ Mexican Gangster ‘(2015, nominated for best original music Arieles 2016),’ El Charro de Toluquilla ‘(2016) documentary in collaboration with Gus Reyes,’ Sin Muertos No Hay Carnaval ‘(2016) in collaboration with Leo Heiblum and Toño Cepeda, ‘Sueño en otro Idioma’ (2017) winner of the Ariel for Best Original Music, ‘El Chapo’ (2017-2018) TV series in collaboration with Gus Reyes and Dudu Aram, ‘Falco’ (2018 ) TV series in collaboration with Gus Reyes, ‘Torre X Torre’ (2018) documentary also in collaboration with Gus Reyes, ‘Ayotzinapa, El Paso De La Tortuga’ (2018) documentary in collaboration with Gus Reyes and Camila Uboldi, ‘El Complot Mongol ‘(2018) in collaboration with Dan Zlotnik and Gus Reyes, to name a few projects.

Also known as Sanchez Dub, he has a definitive style that fuses electronic rhythms and digital programming with dub, delay and reverb harmonies. A pioneer in the Mexican music scene, his synthesis of African, Latin and Caribbean music with electronic rhythms opened what was an inhospitable route in Mexico. Collaborations with Fake Fazz and Wako Texas allowed him to flex his prowess for live improvisation on the bass, bringing a unique flavor of Jazz and Funk.

The construction of songs and organic sound of instruments translates Sanchez Dub into an exciting live band, a clear example is his latest single “Humans”.

Andrés lives and works in Mexico City.

JUAN MORA CATLETT

Juan Mora Catlett (CDMX, 1949). This Mexican film director, editor and screenwriter is one of the most prominent personalities in contemporary Mexican cinema. His work of spreading the Pre-Hispanic indigenous culture is extraordinary.

Juan Roberto Mora Catlett is one of the most recognized academics in film teaching in Mexico. Since 1976 he has taught at the Centro Universitario de Estudios Cinematográficos, UNAM, where he has trained (and inspired) dozens of generations of filmmakers such as María Novaro, Alejandro Islas, Alfonso Cuarón, Emmanuel Lubezki, Fernando Eimbcke and Ernesto Contreras, to name a few.

Mora Catlett has received numerous awards, nominations and distinctions nationally and internationally.

In 1972 he received the Critics’ Award at the Krakow Film School Festival for ‘Poema mecánico’ and in 1985 he received the Gold Colón Award for Best Documentary, at the IX Festival de Cine Iberoamericano de Huelva for ‘Recuerdos de Juan O’ Gorman’.

His film ‘Retorno a Aztlán’ was awarded the Special Grand Prize of the Jury at the VII Latin American Film Festival of Trieste, Italy and is the first fiction film about the Pre-Hispanic world, spoken in classical Nahuatl, with which he inaugurates an unpublished genre in Mexican cinema by basing its content and form on the culture of our indigenous ancestors.

‘Eréndira Ikikunari’ deals with the conquest of Mexico from the point of view of the Purépecha Indians, who speak their own language. It incorporates elements of archeology, pre-Hispanic codices and indigenous popular culture. This film was the recipient of the Best Director and Best Film Award at the Annual Hispanic Film Festival in 2008.

In 2019 he wins the Teaching Excellence award granted by the International Association of Film Schools, CILECT (Centre International de Liaison des Ecoles de Cinéma et de Televisión).
