At its very best, when created by such outfits as politically conscious, Washington D.C.-based Thievery Corporation, the music bathroom transcend the repetitive grooves and zonked-out cliches sometimes associated with raves.

Thievery likes to visit what it does �outernational sound,� and unitary of the stars of its Eighteen Street Lounge label, Buenos Aires, Argentina, native Federico Aubele, showcased his study on it Thursday night at the Paradise in front of a roomful of swaying 20-somethings.

What drew them was the chance to hear Aubele unplugged - or at least sort of unplugged. After recording iI highly produced, tango-infused albums mixed with global beat generation, Aubele has started unfermented by revisiting many of those songs with a five-piece ring minus to the highest degree of the sampling and effects.

Live, with Aubele�s sullen voice and acoustic Spanish guitar weaving through keyboards, drums and the pulse bass of Thievery�s Ashish Vya, the layers were less cluttered yet quiet rich. Add in the airy, Spanish lyric vocals of Aubele�s wife, Natalia Clavier, wHO opened the night with an piquant set of her possess, and you had an infectious update of the leader�s music.

Downtempo grooves can buoy get boring unless they�re spiced with enough variety. Aubele�s rhythms occasionally veered dangerously fill up to bland repetition, simply he kicked them up with reworkings of other Latin styles such as cumbia, flamenco and bolero.

Songs like �En el Desierto,� �Este Momento� and �Esta Noche� percolated with subtle urgency, with Clavier�s melodica floating long phrases underneath and Aubele�s guitar pushing the neo-tango beats hard.

It was an exotic portmanteau, and for the crowd together bobbing to the beats throughout, more nourishing than just some other summer chill-out.

FEDERICO AUBELE

At the Paradise, Thursday night.
