Review:
"Acrophobia" - meaning an extreme or irrational fear of heights - is the latest showing from G-Man & Rob Strobe. Adam X's venerable Sonic Groove imprint is the first of the techno majors to snap up the rising duo, and it's a decision that pays immediate dividends: the linear groove of "Courage" will see any hip high fist pumper down the last of their drink and steer themselves toward the dance floor. "Skotch" ups the ante but dims in mood as rolling drums accompany wistful leanings of dub techno, whilst "Fit" sees G-Man & Rob Strobe opt for a lift in consciousness via resonating dub techno atmospherics that resemble a more abrasive version of Wincent Kunth's remix to Marcel Dettmann's "Wound Up".
