For this installment on THEMAs digital series we are happy to welcome back Martin Bellomo for another round of warm, funky and slightly off-kilter house. Hailing from down south in Cordoba, Argentina, Martin and his Rationalism imprint have gained quite a reputation for deeply creative and infectious grooves. His latest comes as no exception, packing 5 tracks full of lush dance floor material that beg to be played out everywhere from cozy loft parties to headphone-filled subway rides. Starting on a light, introspective note comes M005 a track abounding with texturally rich percussion samples and swirling harmonies. The samples were so rich we felt it deserved a proper remix, and who better to deliver than Bellomos co-conspirator and label mate Pedro DAlessandro. Reimagining the original with a more driving groove and thick organ stabs, DAlessandros Remix managed to manipulate the samples in a frantic, left-field fashion that very much suits us here in Brooklyn. El Matiz takes things into a bit darker territory with its rumbling bass lines and breathy synthwork. The subtleties of Bellomos rhythms here shine as a paradigm of well-crafted house and are sure to work the floor late into the night. The title track, Kopfkino, sticks to a bare-bones approach, using hazy hi-hat patterns and flavorful pads to color its evolving canvas. Things then end on a vocal note with Me Deepsta, a raw and sexy track that pays tribute to the house music of yore while still sounding fresh and invigorating. It will undoubtedly stir the innermost realms of human desire with the way it moans and groans through a dense shuffle of drum machine madness. Text by: Nathan Levenson
