Rebolledo is an artist from Xalapa, Mexico, who is very much part of the Comeme family of Latin American artists. He s been around from the early days when he used to provide music for the Buenos Aires based Bumbumbox street parties. So far he s had tracks on previous comeme releases, notably PITAYA FRENESI, but this is his first full release on his own. Rebodello is the consummate Comeme artist, with a quirky sense of humour, a unique Latin American approach to dance music and a lean lo-fi approach to track making that is built to cut through on any sound system. Lead track >Guerrero< follows in Comemes now established strange sense of humour, Guerrero means warrrior and is a track about a >guerrero< who comes out at night and dresses in leather, it s all shouted vocals simple beats and 80s style synths. Venganza y Seduccion means vengeance and seduction and features suggestive panted echoing vocals over a cosmic disco bassline, while atmospheric chords build in the background, if this sounds strange it s because it is, but the combination works really well in a club. The b side of the record is much harder and more techno-like - Marchante is completely different, aggressive kick drums, a pulsing bassline and siren-like synths bring this track a panicked feel, which is offset by the way the drums build into tough patterns. Raid features strange nonsense vocals over a pulsing rhythm track that reminds of old Chicago acid, if it wasn t for the strange atmosphere. Rebodello is a very welcome addition to the world of dance music.
