Hocico expand 'Hey Tú!' collaboration with Prayers into full 4-track EP
‘Mexican electro-industrial duo Hocico release the 4-track EP “Hey Tú!” via Out Of Line Music, expanding their collaboration with Mexican-American cholo goth project Prayers into a full single package with new remixes and limited physical editions.
The title track “Hey Tú!” first appeared as a standalone digital single on 10 October 2025 running just over four minutes. The new EP collects four versions: the original collaboration with Rafael Reyes (Prayers), Hocico’s own “Cómete tu Mierda H-RMX”, the club-oriented “Frank Spector Remix”, and the “90’s Ibiza Summer Mix by Feindflug”.
The EP appears digitally and in two physical configurations on Out Of Line Music. A limited Minimax picture CD collects all four versions, while a 7″ picture vinyl combines “Hey Tú!” on side A with “Hey Tú! (Cómete tu Mierda H-RMX)” on side B.
About Hocico
Hocico is a Mexico City electro-industrial and aggrotech duo formed in 1993 by cousins Erik García (Erk Aicrag) on vocals and lyrics and Oscar Mayorga (Racso Agroyam) on programming and synthesizers. Before adopting the name Hocico, they worked together in projects such as Niñera Degenerada and Hocico de Perro and issued several cassette releases in the first half of the 1990s.
The duo released its debut album “Odio Bajo El Alma” in 1997 on Mexican label Opción Sónica, with European distribution handled by Out Of Line Music.
During the 2000s and early 2010s, Hocico released a sequence of full-lengths including “Signos de Aberración” (2002), “Wrack and Ruin” (2004), “Memorias Atrás” (2008), “Tiempos de Furia” (2010) and “El Último Minuto (Antes de que Tu Mundo Caiga)” (2012). A 2013 retrospective followed “Los Días Caminando En El Fuego” marking two decades of activity.
The mid-2010s saw the EP “In The Name Of Violence” and the album “Ofensor”, alongside the EP “Forgotten Tears”.
In 2019, Hocico issued the album “Artificial Extinction”, again via Out Of Line followed by the 2022 full-length “HyperViolent”.
From 2023 onward, the duo released new singles and EPs including “A Symphony Of Rage”, the 2025 four-track EP “The Screen”, and the digital single “Brainrot”, integrating these into an ongoing touring schedule. Erk Aicrag also parallelly worked as Rabia Sorda and collaborations such as the joint single “Obscured” with Blutengel and remix and guest roles with other acts.
In 2025, Hocico’s activities concluded with the “The Screen” EP, the single “Hey Tú!” with Prayers, a remix contribution to Till Lindemann’s “Und die Engel singen”, and now an extended “Hey Tú!” EP.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
