          Vidab X returns with a new artist, Faltin, who chooses to remain anonymous, plus a stepping rework by Gowentgone, aka label owners Oliver Deutschmann and Stephan Hill. Faltin's "Phobos" is a stripped-down analog masterclass. Rolling and snaking, its arpeggiated lead growls with a hot-headed tension, climbing while never losing balance and poise. The "Gowentgone Stepper" translates the original into a heavyweight, early-morning trip -- a certain hybrid of broken beats and techno attitude that melts between genres. Waves of euphoria are carried by rumbling drums in this essential version.
