The fertile Angeleno independent hip-hop scene, populated by the likes of Beck and Sukia, was crashed in 1998 by the two Mexicans from Monterey who record as Plastilina Mosh. Programmer Alejandro Rosso and vocalist/guitarist Jonas, who have also been compared to the Beastie Boys, debuted to the American public at Austin's South by Southwest music conference, and caught the eye of Beck, who financed a session through his Bong Load label with producer Tom Rothrock (who had previously recorded "Loser" with Beck). Signed to Capitol, Plastilina Mosh began recording their debut full-length with the additional help of Angeleno hip-hop collective Sukia plus Café Tacuba's Anonimo on guest vocals. Aquamosh was released in June 1998 and Juan Manuel followed two years later.
