As the legend goes, Sonido Dueñez was DJing at a cumbia club in Monterrey, Mexico in the early 1990s when the motor on his turntable overheated, slowing the track to half-speed and distorting the distinctive, syncopated 2/4 cumbia shuffle into something almost unrecognizable -- but the crowd kept dancing. Thus, Cumbia Rebajada was born. On Desaceleradas, fellow Monterrey-born musician Delia Beatriz, who performs as Debit, further sculpts the already ominous and droning Rebajada into a haunted, otherworldly industrial soundscape, excavating elements from cumbia's familiar motifs and Dueñez's early bootleg tapes while eschewing even contemporary industrial, ambient, and electronic conventions to construct an experiment so original and unfamiliar-sounding that it must be heard to be believed.
