Comeme At Juno Download

Review: Four very different interpretations of house music prevail on Power. First up is Geffen, whose dubby, staccato drums, bursts of percussive noise and ominous bass provide the backdrop for a series of frequency-shifting tonal blips. Danny F opts for a different path on "Chalole Batata", where a pulsing bassline and heavy drums steer the arrangement into an ethnic chanting break down. Christian S's contribution is tracky and designed specifically for DJs; centring on rolling, insistent drums and mangled filters, its crashing cymbals enhance its impetus. Finally, the trio of Philipp Gorbachev, Hugo Capablanca and La Muerte deliver the deranged vocals and noisy voodoo groove of "Berlan Esta Helado" - which sounds like vintage Chicken Lips on acid.

Review: Since surfacing with a terrific debut EP for Matias Aguayo's Comeme imprint in 2009, Mexican maverick Rebolledo has been on a fast track to the top. This long awaited debut album expands on his peculiar but invigorating take on house and techno, offering up a selection of tracks that veer from the raw and brutal to the cute and cuddly. In between, there are collaborations aplenty (most notably with Superpitcher and many of his Comeme label mates), Mungolian Jetset-ish vocal outings, Krautrock-inspired weird-outs (check the hypnotic "Aire Calliente" and its two-minute beatless intro), a dash of dubbed-out South American synth pop and even a brutal electro-fisco workout inspired by a high profile US car brand. Deliciously bonkers.
