underground. However, their appeal was only for hardcore hip-hop fans and b-boys. After Mustafa Yoda left La Organizacion to pursue a solo career, DJ Kox Tortuga jumped from being a guest live DJ to be the main producer of the group and then Koxmoz was born. DJ Kox Tortuga (also known as Tortuga and Kox-T) was a pioneer in the Argentine hip-hop scene, having been involved in many different projects since 1992 (Los Adolfos, SK84Life, Tumbas, Deep Taboo). He added his trademark cosmic/electro sound to the production of Koxmoz beats, hence transforming an orthodox hip-hop group into a progressive futuristic project that was easier to understand by the electronica audience than the hip-hop fans. As a result of that, Koxmoz became the ideal candidate to work with Gotan Project during 2005 for the production of the tango-rap hit "Mi Confesión". Koxmoz has an album of their own, Tarde O Temprano, published independently in the United States (2006) and by EMI in Argentina (2007).
